I've lived in France for years and explored every corner of the country. This is why it's time to ditch overrated Paris... and the incredible places you should visit instead
There's a psychological reason why you shouldn't just visit Paris. Really. The sense of disappointment that people often get from visiting the French capital is called Paris Syndrome, a term coined by a Japanese psychiatrist in the 80s. I've lived in Paris, and I still go most months. While I've never fallen victim to Paris Syndrome, I can't help feeling the 50 million-odd visitors each year are missing a trick.
