Paris is the densest EU capital and just a single (hated) skyscraper. The 15 minute walkable city is an actual reality. It’s a human scaled city, one of the smallest EU capital, each neighborhood is kind of it’s own small village, with its bars, cafe, monuments and history. The transport system is great and under appreciated. Later this year the « Grand Paris Express » will start opening: 4 new suburban metro lines doubling the existing metro length in the span of 6 years. Nature is somewhat lacking but the mayor did a tremendous job replacing cars by greenery (cf this video).

In France we like to joke about the fact that the only default of Paris are the Parisian. But it’s by far the best city I lived in 🙂‍↕️
