Sure is awkward running into germanic mercenaries while in Paris of all places

On a slightly more serious note, my sincerest apologies to all victims of the supermassively undeserved hype around Paris, the capital that's less dense than Tokyo, yet more overwhelming, has the frenchest people of France (in the bad way), issues with trash and streets that smell like piss, and much more.
The fact that there is so much as a condition from the contrast between the international idea of Paris and it's reality is both hilarous and terrifying

I mean, they're Mercenaries, so traveling to work is kind of their things. Also some German love tourism.
On a side note Overhype tend to happen to most very famous tourist spots (heck, nowadays you're more likely to see the reverse Paris Syndrome, where weebs are shocked to find Tokyo completely different from their expectations), The Paris Syndrome phenomenon initially appeared because Japan a few decades ago in particular used to have a very pictural view of France. It wasn't even all the issues that you mentioned (tourist tend to notoriously visit the parts of cities that don't smells like piss), just Paris being a big city when they expected "Rose of Versailles, but it's not the middle of the Revolution so everything is much calmer). Many modern Japanese tourist have more realistic expectations when they go to Europe.

Sadly, the problem is that Paris is not exactly populated by "the frenchest people of France" anymore.
Bottom line : when you keep importing the Third World, you become the Third World.

French is just a language and a funny accent. It means absolutely nothing else.

Yeah but if you're someone coming from the other side of the world, running into mercenaries from the neighboring country isn't really on the list of things you'd expect or feel comfortable with, i assume

Now that you mention it, weebs experiencing reverse Paris syndrome is quite hilarous and so predictable it sounds like a joke; No need for unrealistic expectations when one can simply enjoy Tokyo's urbanism, food and transportation as they are, of course picturesque landscapes aren't gonna be the thing to look for in the biggest metropolis of the world

Bayrou/Zemmour/Le Pen brainrot being parroted here wasn't something i'd have expected to see but i guess it's one of the many unhinged and reality-disconnected things that can manifest in the comment section.
Even if the numbers confirmed your point (they don't and they won't ever), it still would be the last of France's problems right now, an ethnostate isn't the solution to your problems

Gonna havta disagree from just a food culture perspective alone.
