GNOMAD Travel Report on  PARIS 
They say its the city of romance. Its famous for beautiful women, good food and wine. Its the home of the Moulin Rouge, Sacre Coeur and Notre Dame. All true. The only problem with Paris is the French ! God, what a miserable bunch of bastards !  They can't even shave their armpits but they think they're Gods gift to the world.Try to get even the most rudimentary level of service in a cafe and you're asking for some sweaty french waiter to spit in your soup. Gnomads travel tip is to visit Paris in August, when the smelly French city-dwellers head en-masse like lemmings for the coast, and enjoy one of the most beautiful cities in the world without the irritation of those Inspector Clousseau clones. If you must speak to the Parisians, never humour them by attempting to speak French. If they pretend not to understand you, simply talk louder in English until they do.

Uppers :
1. The smell of fresh crusty French Bread in the morning
2. Its a great place to fall in love (with a non-French person)
3. Just not being French yourself.
Downers :
1. Parisian men all smell of garlic and  Gauloises cigarettes.
2. Parisian women all have hairy armpits and bad teeth
3. You sink up to your knees in the dog shit on the sidewalks
