My husband and I visited Paris A year ago and sadly it will be our last unless radical measures are taken. We’ve been visiting for long and the degradation and sense of insecurity doesn’t justify the effort and the money. Before, when we we were leaving the city we were already anticipating another trip, this time we were anxious to leave! Paris became a wastepipe! The politicians that allowed this to happen through the years with their political laxism for political gains should be imprisoned. This is stupidity, there’s no other form of putting it!

I hate grafitti. I don’t understand the satisfaction vandals get with grafitti. So ugly and filthy looking.

Thanks to "refugees" and immigrants. France, save your country before it will be Pakistan

Culturally enriched Paris. De Gaulle and Napoleon will cry if they see modern day Paris and France

Amazing that they found French people to interview in Paris. I recently visited for the first time and it looked like another continent. Sad.

This is an absolute nightmare. Paris is renowned for its health beauty and vitality also for its culture cuisine restaurants and cafes. This will ruin tourism and affect the economy.

I lived in Paris in the 1980’s, it was pristine. I remember the street cleaning trucks early in the morning spraying down the pavements. I am shocked to see this, i don’t ever recall seeing graffiti in Paris back then.

It's the same story with most western cities.

I am so glad that I was able to go to Paris four times, back when it was still the beautiful city of Paris.

Hilarious that the mayor is now running for President. This is her record? Unbelievable.

I just came back from Paris and COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THIS VIDEO. Me and my girlfriend were counting the days, the hours, to come back home. This report is telling only one little part of how is the experience in Paris (because for sure it would be censored if tells the complete experience). It’s so sad, so sad to see how they destroyed this human pride city. We will never come back. Woke is the virus.

If she cannot run a capital city, how can she run the entire country.

I was in Paris November 2023, and I was shocked by the deterioration of Paris from 2008, when I was previously there.

It’s tragic to see the state of Paris, and I feel very sorry for people living with the rubbish and ugly concrete items. It looks so neglected.

Import the 3rd world expect a 3rd world country

I’ve been in Paris a few times in my lifetime, I was shocked by how Paris was last year. Dirt, unsafe, wrecked and abandoned.

I lived in Paris in the 1980s, from 1983 to 1988. I now call the time I lived there..."The golden twilight". I remember how clean and safe Paris was in those years, and how actually French it was I remember the older trains and how well-dressed everyone was and how polite. Now Paris and the rest of Europe are being invaded by migrants, leaving filth, crime, and ruin all about. The European Union is at the very core of all the problems of Europe which is not mentioned in this video because it is not politically correct. All I can say is that I lived in Paris then, in "The Golden Twilight" and unfortunately accept with a very sad heart that "my Paris" will be lost forever.

They forgot about playing hopscotch trying to avoid dog mess on the pavements.

Most of Central European city's mayor is right. And it's noticeable. Budapest, Prague looks clear, safety and beautiful

It's crazy how there's actually people in denial... smh dude

Socialist Mayor destroys iconic city...Parisians, we Londoners feel your pain.

I visited Paris many times between 1989 and about 2010 and loved it. It's sad to see this.

I visisted Paris over 10 years ago and it was a nightmare. Trash piled in the streets. There was a terror attack not that long before so the streets were filled with totally not obvious plain clothes police. When your car stopped in traffic people would walk into the road and try all the doors, hoping for one to be open and have something to steal. Degenerate city.

As someone living here, I can confirm every single thing this reportage said. This has been going on for years and when #saccageParis first broke out, Anne Hidalgo called it an extreme-right campaign.

Paris is like the novel named Germinal , a very sad city with strikes every week , the city is dirty and deteriorated

Paris is the dirtiest Western city I've visited. Never seen so many rats and garbage in my life. I will admit I haven't visited San Francisco or LA..

Compared to London, Paris looks an absolute picture of cleanliness

I live in Berlin. Same kind of people running it and the same kind of problems.

We travel in France and now avoid all big cities,it’s a shame

Sadly I see London becoming a bit like Paris these days. Maybe not quite as bad, but here in northwest London, there is just so much litter, fly tipping, graffiti, the occasional vandalised train, etc. It just seems to be getting worse. London is en route to becoming like Paris in that sense. I am looking to relocate at some point.

I wish I had visited Paris before all this happened 😢 Now I don’t have any desire to go there

I went through paris last year and I was mortified

I love to listen to old people that been there they speak facts. We outsiders dont know much but i do know the pain and stress this has brought in your beautiful city

I lived there for twenty years, it was beautiful, wonderful, vibrant, exciting and always interesting. I was there last year and it is a dump, everything is filfthy, I thought I was in a Souk in Morocco half the time, beggars and tramps and homeless everywhere. Thieves, pickpockets, scammers grafitti, bins overflowing. Tent camps and matresses lying about, drug taking everywhere, smoking crack in the Metro. People on those Escooters just riding about like crazy people weaving along pavements, the roads have all been bunged up with cycle lanes, bus lanes, it's absolutely horrific. I'm not going back.

Paris looks worse than my toilet!

I know what Donald Trump would call the place and I would be inclined to agree with him.

It's the same in Vienna. Our once beautiful city has completely been destroyed by a red-green coalition, and it's become so bad in the past ten years that scarcely any beauty is left here. There is just so much trash and clutter everywhere: modernist benches on which nobody sits, dozens of garishly-coloured rubbish bins (far more than necessary), public bike rental stations, concrete blocks, random poles without use or meaning, an overabundance of street signs, advertising billboards, redundant wire fences around statues and monuments, and much more... I don't understand why socialists have so little appreciation for aesthetics, and such a propensity towards ugliness.

Londonistan, parisistan same same

Taste the rainbow.....

It's just Africa part 2

Let in Africa, become Africa. - Prophecy from a man born in Detroit

Have a look at Marseilles or Toulouse ...they're worse

It’s interesting to hear about yet another world city ruined by left wing politicians. I was last in Paris in late 2016 & walked right through the centre of Paris & did didn’t look like this footage, but it was very empty of people & expected hubbub except around Gare de Nord which was swarming with immigrants. I certainly don’t think that Paris was ever an inspiration to other world cities.

I am just happy the French people I spoken to warned me about Paris. I told everyone in my country to avoid that city. They’ll have better experiences else where in France.

Was so shocked to see how dirty Paris was driving from CDG. Litter, graffiti even cardboard cities. London is so much cleaner.

Paris, the San Francisco of Europe lol

the worst is the ethnic shift wanted by the city hall.

Paris: Left has Destroyed us. San Francisco: Hold my Pierre.

I remember when i was young i had read somewhere that paris has no mosquitoes.....its really sad to see it in such condition

This is almost as bad as my City in India.lol.

That is shocking... What have Parisians done to their city? 😨😨

When I visited Paris in late 2019, I was discussed that a city can have so much trash and rats

Why didn’t they talk about the immigration?

1. Nobody takes responsibility 2. People don't like to work 3. People do not get paid a livable wage

Welcome to Socialism.

Last went to Paris in 2012 . Tbh the rot was already setting in then. Looks like it got a lot worse.

Really quite shocking, had my 40th in Paris was a fabulous city back then ,shocked to see how bad it looks now

Wow i was there twice in the early 2000's And late 90s it was beautiful this is so sad

The problem is the people themselves. They're the ones who vote for the politicians. It's not enough to blame the politicians. We have to get to a point where we admit the downsides of democracy and the people who have the vote.

It's so sad what they've allowed to happen to Paris and France in general.

We used to look forwards to our annual visit to Paris. No longer. Even the Galleries do not tempt us any more. And this portrait leaves out the worst areas of Paris which are no-go certainly. Tragic.

Looks like my hometown of NYC. A complete and utter sh*th*ole

the same happened to Milan and Rome 🤬

I don't agree with the title. Paris was clean and safe during Delanoë period. The problems started once he is gone.

Paris San Francisco Los Angeles Seattle I'm seeing a pattern....

THanks for that. Just cancelled my vacation plans

They voted that Mayor in again!!!

As a Parisian resident for the past 40 years, I am deeply saddened by the current state of our beautiful city. Unfortunately, this decline is not limited to Paris alone, but rather encompasses the entire country.

The worth problem as a Parisian is the number of construction sites that doesn’t seem to be active. It is like all the budget of the city is going to make the life of drivers difficult. Still a beautiful city on the touristic parts but a nightmare outside. I have to cross the city to go to work twice a day and in 5 years it took more than 1/2 hour more to do it…

I would have like asked the question: "Why and who elect this kind of leadership into office for more than two decades then?" Isn't a democracy there?

Khans London .

Belfast northern ireland is goi ng the same way we have a looney politician nicola mallon who is destroying the city with unused cycle lanes blocking shop fronts stopping disabled people getting to them and a glider bus system that is causing chaos because of the lanes needed for it

I saw that headline and thought that this might just be click bait . Unfortunately it's true and being probably the most beautiful city in Europe it deserves better . London has alternated between management from the left and right but by comparison the standards are always much higher .

all leads to islam

The filth and depravity plaguing Paris today aren’t much different than what Paris suffered during and after the horrific French Revolution. Ethics, morality, along with Christian faith and values, were violently gutted from society and replaced with a hard, left leaning socialism. Since then, France has been slouching its way through Marxism to a technocratic, communist-leaning, atheistic oligarchy. This is precisely what is happening in every major 1st world city that has embraced Marxist progressivism, such as democrat run cities in America and no-go zones in Europe.

My mother moved from paris in 2000, and she took me to visit in 2019, she cried when we rode the metro and explained just how much everything has fallen apart since when she lived there.

Same stuff in New York, Los Angles, etc, etc, etc ...

It's only got worse since this video was made, and the Olympics will be a predictable disaster, violence, insecurity, rubbish, rats.

The reason Paris has all the nice buildings is because it used to be civilized. Not anymore.

It is a really big problem of current times - living on a heritage of the past and not being able to maintain the level of organisation, not being able to continue development, but instead taking advantage of it, destroying it. Just like as if barbarians took over a place that was build carefully and thoughtfully. Sad, very sad. New generations are supposed to learn from the past and continue further development.

Paris is not supposed to be a postal card to make wealthy residents and tourists feel at ease, Paris will always to be one of the most avant-garde and innovating city in the world

Import third world = Become third world. Straightforward equation

Although I would love for paris to be less noisy and more bike friendly, I am concerned about the historic impact on an elaborate city.

Isnt diversity great 🙄

낭만의 도시 파리는 더이상 없다.

That's what's happening in victoria Australia...ideologues that cant fix pothole

Good work! Snappy, to the point, instructive, brief. The DT could take a look at NYC and San Francisco. London doesn't seem quite so bad yet.

Went there 10 years ago. Messy then, seemed very down market compared with London. Still some great sights but noticeably poorer than other cities in Europe but what else is expected of a country where people work few hours.

That lady from the 30s doesn’t give two Pennys for feminism. Lmao. She calls it like it is.

Paris is a beautiful place. Unfortunately the inherent problem with many French people in a position of power is that they want more power and above all to be seen as being very important. The way to achieve this is to completely ignore the job at hand and intimidate the underlings to deal with matters of relevance while playing politics instead.

Pity she did not tour the Metro - even a decade ago parts were iffy and the trains rough ....other ways there was still beauty.....

No interview of any younger Parisian?

This is simply what happens in cities. Why should Paris, one of the oldest cities in the world, be immune?

Replacement theory

People should stop paying taxes and instead hire private companies to do the repairs and the cleanup. Those expenses should be offset or written off their taxes.

This explains why many travelers suffer from Paris depression when returning from it

So sad, the end of the West

Blame it on the left 😂

Bike lanes were a big criticism of the recent, not current, mayor in my state's largest city. A friend of mine frequently complains about cyclists when driving as well.
