Strasbourg: 9/10 Strasbourg is magical. I have a soft spot for half timbered houses, and Strasbourg definitely does not lack them. The city has great food, particularly tarte flambée and wine and the churches are spectacular. The city is a bridge between German and French

Paris: 5/10 Last time I did this I gave Paris a 6/10 and received a lot of backlash for it. I have since revisited the city and realised my original assessment was indeed wrong, Paris is worse than I gave it credit for. Dirty, sketchy, rude people, full of scammers and just flat
