It’s not uniquely American nor is it uniquely Instagram either. I’m French. My father is French. Decades ago as a kid we were in Paris on a short trip, and we were close to the Eiffel Tower. I asked my dad if we could go there, and he went on this weird rant about it being too touristy and not worth it. So I didn’t get to visit the Eiffel Tower and I was sad. He wasn’t a great dad. I still haven’t, to this day. Haven’t had the opportunity. I’m going to Paris in a month for my girlfriend’s birthday and I’m planning to go there. This notion that just because something is touristy you SHOULDNT do it is absurd. Pick what sounds pleasant, and don’t expect to be alone.
