You know the Paris syndrome, that feeling that creates disappointment in foreign tourists after visiting the capital? According to a study, Montmartre is the most overrated place in the city!

The French capital is one of the most touristic cities in the world, particularly appreciated by travelers for its culture, its Eiffel Tower and its history. The City of Light attracts more and more foreign tourists every year, but they don't always leave happy with their stay. The Paris syndrome is partly responsible for this disappointment, as the city is very romanticized through movies and series such as Emily in Paris, not really in line with the daily life of Parisians. This is why the capital appears in a study by the review site King Casino Bonus, in 9th position in the ranking of the most overrated cities in the world!

13.8% of international tourists say they were disappointed with their trip to Paris, according to the reviews left on various travel review sites. Among the districts and monuments that did not meet their expectations, we find the Montmartre district, the Army Museum at Les Invalides as well as theArc de Triomphe. Concerning the emblematic hillock of the capital, the tourists say they felt "in danger, rushed and harassed". As for the Eiffel Tower, it is still appreciated for taking pictures.
