I'm going to Paris in a couple of weeks for #OW2con and trying to get excited about stuff to do in Paris but failing. Any suggestions on how to get hyped about this trip?
Challenges include: being gluten free, not being able stand or walk at museum speed for very long, needing to avoid COVID, not liking superciliousness or disdain, thinking most France-adjacent movies are sexist garbage, and being far too large to buy most French clothes :)
@vaurora even for areligious people I would recommend 20m of basking in the Sainte-Chapelle stained glass light.
A stone throw away from Notre-Dame de Paris, less conspicuous in the court of the Justice Palace, it could be less popular than other touristic places in the city. (But then again, since Notre-Dame is closed, it might be the only thing to see on Île de la Cité, therefore swarmed)
@vaurora there’s my favorite bookshop : Shakespeare & Co. ; a graveyard of famous peoples ;) ; square of Paris Comune & lots of graffiti art ; cute metro gates ; maybe a boat tour - seeing city from water is different! & apparently the cycling is much safer now than 15 years ago when I was visiting Paris last…
