Have heard from a few sources that Paris is dirty city and I%26#39;m just wondering if they%26#39;re being too picky or Paris is like any other large city - I mean London%26#39;s pretty dirty in the scheme of things.
|||
I%26#39;m almost afraid to answer this...
We thought it was pretty dirty. We live in a large Canadian city and our city is not dirty. Been to Rome on the same trip as Paris and thought Rome was pretty good, but Paris... Dog doo-doo everywhere, cigarette butts everywhere. We were not impressed.
|||
no, it%26#39;s beautiful. One of the best cities in the world to visit. what%26#39;s a bit of dog poo and litter when you are in the city of lights. Just go.
|||
I must walk in the wrong places, or maybe the right places? I%26#39;ve never noticed it as dirty. As for dog poo, hey I grew up in Inner WEst Sydney and now I live on a farm, I always keep half an eye on where I put my feet, it%26#39;s habit. But having said that, it is not something I overtly noticed as a problem.
You know, I hate this comment as much as I hate the %26quot;all French are rude%26quot; comment. IT%26#39;s yet another stereotype IMO.
|||
We were there for two weeks in late June, we were very impressed with how clean it was (saw poop maybe twice in 14 days). No regular trash at all. Way cleaner than any other big city I%26#39;ve visited.
|||
I would say that it is a bit gritty. I wish the dog owners would pay more attention to their pets. They do have a graffiti problem.
|||
Some areas are cleaner (or dirtier) than others. Isn%26#39;t that true in every city in the world?
|||
Millin6,, Port Moody is hardly a large city.. come on..
I live in Victoria ,, and there are areas that are just as dirty as any big city.. Of course, we keep our small touristy center clean .. gotta keep those cruise ship dollars coming in.. LOL
|||
I lived in Canada for five years and I%26#39;ve never even heard of Port Moody.
But to answer the OP, it is one of the densest cities in the world. That kind of traffic does create a certain amount of grime. But nothing shocking and easily out weighted by the beauty of the architecture.
|||
When you are looking up at the Eiffel Tower your first thoughts aren%26#39;t oh street is a bit too dirty I think I%26#39;ll leave now.
Paris is a city it%26#39;s going to have areas which are better kept than others. I come from Northern Ireland and in my opinion Paris, well the main tourist areas I visited, was cleaner by far than even my small town.
Don%26#39;t believe all the stereotypes just go to Paris and enjoy it for what it is. A bit of dog poo or dirt here or there won%26#39;t (in my opinion) destroy your visit in anyway. I didn%26#39;t give it a second thought.

I do not understand what everyone is on about. Visited Paris in Dec last year. I had also read all these posts prior to my trip, and did not know what people were talking about. I never found Paris to be dirty at all.
Now what I call dirty is when I exited KDW, which is a huge department store in Berlin, and the pavement was littered with hundred%26#39;s of cigarette stompies right next to the display window. I never encountered such a sight anywhere else.
Re %26quot;doggy poo%26quot;, never encountered any....
Paris is an awesome city!
