Tourists Share Mixed Reviews on Paris's Urban Aroma
Paris, France – A recent social media post by tourist Maria Aleli Casenas has sparked discussion online regarding the city's urban environment. Casenas, a Canadian traveler, shared a video during her April 2025 'Eurotrip' expressing a personal observation about the smell of Paris.In the short video, which features various iconic Parisian landmarks such as the Louvre Museum and the Seine River, Casenas poses the question, 'I don't know if it's just us wondering, but why does Paris stinks like pee everywhere.....' The video, uploaded from Canada, captures street scenes with pedestrians and traffic under a clear sky.While Paris is renowned globally for its beauty, history, and cultural attractions, some visitors occasionally report less pleasant sensory experiences, particularly concerning public sanitation. Casenas's candid remark highlights a common, albeit often unaddressed, aspect of urban tourism.
