The clip has since drawn a range of reactions from social media users, many of whom shared their own opinions on whether Paris lives up to its global image.

Paris is more about history than filters.” Another said, “You need to explore beyond just the Eiffel Tower to feel the real charm of the city.” (Also read: ‘China, did you try to make a copy of Paris?’: ‘Eiffel Tower’ in Asian nation amuses social media) A third user commented, “I had the same feeling at first, but it grows on you with time.” Another added, “Maybe it’s the weather or the crowd. Timing matters a lot in Paris.” Some users, however, agreed with her perspective. “Honestly, social media has overhyped it,” one comment read. Another said, “Expectations vs reality hits hard when you travel.” A different user remarked, “It’s beautiful in its own way, just not in the way Instagram shows it,” while another added, “Not everything looks magical in real life, and that’s okay.” HT.com has reached out to the user for her comments, and the copy will be updated once her response is received.
