> culture was when i lived in versailles As someone who actually lived in Versailles, this made me laugh outloud. It’s a boring upper-class suburb which happens to have a big castle in it. Culturally it’s at the same level as the Hamptons, just with older buildings and more royalists.

correct. that is what i think of when i think of culture. overly polite people. when asking if a restaurant is open they first say 'hello sir, i notice you walked out of the house here' and tell you thank you and have a good evening. in sf it's greetings with 'is this still open' and a silent walkoff staring into the phone when you tell them you don't know. in line for bread, you say good day, i'd like a traditional please. in sf you say 'give me the avocado sandwich.' and then yes, you have the old buildings, the chateau, and the perfectry groomed horses at the gardens. it is boring in versailles, there's one shitty club in a basement, and all the gen-pop restaurants at the center turn into shitty bars when food service stops. if that's what you were looking for in versailles, you were disappointed. taking a walk through the gardens is not boring. for clubbing i had my place in moscow where i'd often go for a 3 day weekend. unlike sf, where bars close shortly after midnight, in moscow we'd go to dinner at 10, get to a club at 1, got to the next club at 5am, go to a karaoke at 8am, grab breakfast and get home to sleep at noon. point is, op was saying thise sf bars with no women that close at 1am are a positive about sf. yes, a famous palace and snooty old bluebloods is more cultured. especially when comparing to sf and it's snooty entitled and rude millenials. and if you want more, north station is 20min away on the sncf. i lived at the montreuil stop.

Wondered if someone was going to call this out. Could've namechecked many other places but picked a Paris outer suburb.
