myths about Paris

what do you think, Keruac?

This is stupid . . . and inaccurate: "In general, European cities are safer than North American ones, since guns, gangs, personal property/bank robberies and drugs are not as common."

Are any of those "myths" particularly prevalent, or is it just another re-hash of a tired old idea for an article?

Well, I will subscribe to myth #6 as concerns many tourists (American tourists should perhaps not only think of themselves since they represent less than 10% of the tourists in Paris.)

The other myths: <b>no!</b>

These expat blogs get so incredibly tiresome.

As do threads about them
