The Parisians' Reluctance Towards the Olympics
Paris is experiencing a unique sentiment towards the upcoming Olympics, with many locals expressing disinterest in hosting the event. The city has seen a notable decline in tourism due to perceptions of chaotic crowds and rising costs, leading the French to cue their feelings in videos humorously appealing for visitors to stay away.
