The incredible access to culture, the rich history or simply the beauty of the surroundings: when it comes to describing why we love the capital, everyone has their own little preference, and rightly so. But beyond preconceptions, what do residents really think of their city? On the subreddit r/paris a forum dedicated to life in the capital, a user asked a question that elicited many responses: “What do you like best about the capital? “
What do Parisians like best about Paris?
A few days ago, we reviewed the answers to the famous question “what do you hate about Paris?” “Parisians“,“cigarette smoke” or“the Montparnasse Tower “: everyone had their say, and some of the answers were worth their weight in peanuts. Today, we’re looking at the exact opposite, focusing instead on why Parisians loved their city. Still on the same forum, the same user namely a certain kykyschmidt, thus asked the question“what’s the best thing about Parisian life? ” and “what makes you love and stay in Paris?” And the answers came thick and fast!
Among the most popular responses was that of Unlikely_Reporter, who praised the city for being a joy for all pedestrians and cyclists. Another user is delighted to be able to access a wide range of concerts in many inexpensive bars. Also, one comment highlights the fact that we can“walk around, dress up and do whatever we want without judgment.” Otherwise, among the funniest answers, we love Smolboson’s poetic one:“When it’s a bit cold or raining, I love to make myself a coffee, sit by the window and look at the beauty of Paris“. Otherwise, we have“fried duck hearts” or “nothing”, by visibly fit users.
And what do you love so much about the city?
