Brutal honesty alert: These are 9 things I REALLY hate about Paris as a city! I moved to Paris 5 years ago and would have loved someone to be honest with me about the downsides of Paris so that I could set realistic expectations, so I am doing the same for you just in case it helps (or you're already living here and it's nice to hear from someone who just 'gets it'). Paris is so wonderful, but also so very imperfect (aren't we all?!).

If you don't know already, I am an expat in Paris and have been living in Paris as a foreigner since 2013, when I moved here to pursue my Masters degree. I've stuck around for long enough to see the good, the bad and the ugly!

Paris can be an incredible place - the architecture, the history, culture, food, sunny evenings down by the riverside...and I have soaked it all in over the past 5 years.

But I wanted to talk frankly and openly with you guys about this city's imperfections and tell you: IT IS OKAY NOT TO LIKE PARIS! I can definitely see how it's not for everyone. Hell, many French people HATE Paris (at least that's what they've told me)! Most expats here have a love-hate relationship with the city that makes you want to update your relationship status to "it's complicated."

And in all honesty, there are many things that I dislike about Paris. I could probably do a whole other video on it! But I also believe that you can be happy anywhere as long as you choose to be (plus the pros far outweigh the cons).

I hope this video helps, especially if you are planning on doing a study Abroad in Paris or looking for things to know before moving to Paris or simply visiting Paris. Remember that these are just the worst things about Paris.. keep in mind the big picture :)
