Paris attracts millions of tourists drawn by its allure, with iconic sites like the Champs-Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe. However, some visitors experience disillusionment, leading to what is termed Paris Syndrome. This phenomenon was first identified by a Japanese psychiatrist, highlighting symptoms such as anxiety and disorientation. The term reflects the stark contrast between the romanticized image of Paris and its everyday realities, including traffic and unpredictable weather, which can lead to feelings of disappointment among travelers.
"Paris is hyped up in movies, social media, and luxury branding and people build up a mental image of an idealized city filled with beauty and romance."
"When people arrive expecting perfection and are met with the reality of everyday Paris, it can create a sense of letdown."
