> I actually found the metro stations incredibly clean it depends on the time of the day and the standards you're used to. I am from Rome, not the cleanest city in the World I might say, but I used to go to Paris frequently, my ex girlfriend lived there for 10 years and I found Paris a terrible patchwork of "looking clean, but not really clean", "smelly and not in a good way" and "rats on the streets of the center not scared at all by the people" together with "there are actually people living in the catacombs below the building I'm currently living in and we can't do anything about it" We both were victims of robbery a few times and attempted robbery several times (one time I put my hand in the pocket of my jacket and shacked hands with a burglar that was looking for something to steal) in the metro stations, so we usually were very worried when we had to get one, we ended up walking a lot to avoid the stress, which ironically turned out to be a great idea, if there's something good I can totally agree about Paris is that it is one of the best cities to take a long walk. I assume that this is an advertising piece to promote the newfound cleanliness for the upcoming Olympic games in the city, it's happening the same in Rome for the 2025 Jubilee.
