Tourists vs. Locals - Paris
There’s just a yucky feeling I get from areas of tourism. I know that when we decided to go to Paris, I wanted to see the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Arc de Triumph and Notre Dame. After enduring the crowds at the Eiffel, I definitely enjoyed our random walking through the interior of the city – not on roads where there was a ton of tourist things. ~S

I know what you mean. Tourist sights often feel like they've been pre-packaged and sterilized in bite-sized morsels. And don't get me started on the crowds. I came here to experience the real culture, and get away from all of you people who are sharing this moment with me right now! The off the beaten path gems are the best, and well worth the effort.
