You should avoid France.

That’s actually a good rule of thumb for every scenario in life.

I mean I'll probably never get over there, but I'd love to visit Carentan (because WWII...well COD2...I loved that map lol) and Suave (because a cartoonist I like lives there.)

Paris is a hard no-no. The rest is fine.

Disagree. Central Paris is something special. Like any European capital there's tons of stuff to see and do.

It falls off off a cliff once you've done the centre though.

I just went on a trip to France last month and while I wouldn't say Paris was the highlight, the Louvre and Musée D'Orsay were unforgettable experiences. The Versailles gardens were pretty great too but that's not really in Paris I don't think.

París was ok when I went, but I do really remember there being loads of dogshit everywhere.

Yeah. Paris is a nice city, but it is still a city. I feel like people who judge Paris harshly don't like any major urban area.

Paris is lovely, as long as you avoid the worst tourist areas. Seeing people queue in the middle of Champs-Élysées, between lanes of traffic, just to get that one pretend shot of the Arc de Triumphe is a special circle of hell.
