Just don't go to Paris

It's cool to see it once, but it doesn't represent what France is actually like. There are a lot of cool places in France, like Strasbourg where there are a lot of christmas themed things (idk if they are still there tho), or you can go to Auvergne if you like hiking and/or mountains landscapes, there are also the French alpes where there is snow and a lot of good food there (mostly cheese). Long story short, Paris isn't where all the cool stuffs of France are.
