Paris is undeniably one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Its history, architecture, museums, the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Versailles, and the Champs-Élysées are breathtaking. We stayed at an amazing hotel with exceptional customer service, and most importantly, I got to create memories with my daughter that we’ll cherish forever.
Unfortunately, there was another side of Paris that left us disappointed.
The customer service throughout much of the city was, in our experience, among the worst we’ve encountered. Many store employees and restaurant staff came across as impatient, dismissive, and unwilling to help.
At Do Re Mi restaurant, we ordered steak that was so tough and chewy it was almost impossible to eat. When we politely brought it to the server’s attention, instead of apologizing or offering a solution, he argued that we should have ordered it saignant (rare). No apology. No attempt to make things right. We paid our €105 bill, thanked them, and left.
Another major disappointment was the cleanliness.
For a city visited by millions every year, we were shocked by the amount of litter. Overflowing trash bags, garbage scattered around sidewalks, and waste even near world-famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower. I’ve attached just a few of the many photos I took. A city this important deserves better. If the city cannot keep up with sanitation on its own, perhaps contracting private companies to maintain these iconic areas would make a significant difference.
We were also saddened to see so many people begging on the Champs-Élysées, including women with young children sitting on the sidewalks asking for money.
Our overall impression was that many businesses simply weren’t interested in going the extra mile for visitors. We often asked for assistance only to be given vague directions or dismissed altogether.
Despite these disappointments, I don’t regret coming. Paris is beautiful, and sharing this trip with my daughter was priceless.
I simply hope that one day the level of customer service and cleanliness will match the beauty and history of this incredible city.
God bless America. 🇺🇸❤️
