Blogger's harsh statement about Paris
Blogger Aiza-Liluna Ai, the ex-wife of rapper Guf, shared her opinion of Paris in her Telegram channel. According to her, the romantic image of the city with the Eiffel Tower has long ceased to match her personal impressions. 'I am sincerely surprised that there are people in the world who want to fly to Paris in 2026. I can't stand this city even in the best of times, and right now even less so. There are far more interesting places on the planet than a city that smells of urine and despair,' she wrote. Aiza added that she has never felt any particular love for the French capital and is confident that the world has plenty of other destinations worthy of tourists' attention.
Context: lifestyle and protests in France
According to Life.ru, Aiza has long lived outside Russia and prefers an island lifestyle, so the European capital with its hustle and bustle, apparently, is not among the places she would like to return to. The harsh statement came amid ongoing unrest in France: in recent weeks Paris has faced mass protests, some of which were accompanied by arson, looting of stores and clashes with police.
Impact on tourism
As Life.ru reported, Russian tourists complain about broken shop windows, burned bicycles and garbage containers, as well as disruptions in transport. Some travelers have to change their routes and avoid certain areas in the evening. At the same time, no mass cancellation of trips has been observed so far, although demand for tours and accommodation in France has declined, according to tour operators.
