"It's a shame": if tourists can finally return to Paris after two years of pandemic, many are disappointed with the many


Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Trocadero, National Assembly, Notre-Dame, Opera or Madeleine: the monuments under construction are very numerous in Paris a few weeks before the summer period.

Tourists, back in the capital, often struggle to make their way through the scaffolding.

A situation that exasperates some, like Tami Agmon, an Israeli on vacation in Paris: "After the Covid, we finally manage to come here and that's where I start my visit: I go upstairs, I watch the skateboarders and I take a picture from here and then I know I'm in Paris.

So there, I don't know if it's a temporary construction or whatever, but it bothers me”.

For Julia Meye, a Gabonese tourist, "it's a little dirty".

María Paz Lindeman, a Peruvian, had to be a bit tricky to capture the perfect photo with her companion a few steps from the Eiffel Tower: "We were just wondering which side was the best to not see so many scaffoldings .

Because we have seen that on the other side, there are some too!

So, it's true, there is no place where you can take the perfect shot.

But for Thierry Collegia, tourist guide in Paris, these works have nothing to discourage tourists in Paris: “People really feel the happiness of being able to revisit Paris again.

So that's what predominates.

And then, there are so many monuments in Paris that you can admire that there are a few of them that are under construction, that's ok.
