[quote=Anonymous]You have to go to the parts of the city that are not Instagram-recognizable and less likely to be mobbed by tourists there for 2 days. And actually, common tourist stops like the Louvre or Versaille are no different than they were years ago — they are designed to accommodate tourists and don’t feel overwhelmed in the same way as the Eiffel Tower or Notre Dame or some of the famous bridge vistas. When I go, I spend time in the smaller museums, love to go to my favorite shops in quieter areas, stay in a friend’s apartment away from the crowds. Paris is still Paris but if you go and just sightsee at the major tourist sights, yes, you will be mobbed by tourist from all over the world. This is also true in NYC, the Grand Canyon, the pyramids in Egypt, and lots of other global destinations. Air travel is more accessible than its ever been, there is a huge rising middle and upper middle class in Asia that suddenly has access. There are upsides and downsides.[/quote]
