Fashion: A-
Parisians have an understated elegance with quality shoes and high end handbags. Unfortunatly right now Parisians love "le sneaker". They wear bright coloured Nikes with high clothing. No offence, this just doesn't work.
Maintain a beautiful city: A+
From the areas I visited, Paris is one of the cleanest cities I have ever been to. Despite the fact that is full of people and many activities, it always looks great. Paris also has some very old architecture which is so well preserved. This great city is also filled with gardens and beautiful parks which are well maintained.
What Parisians don't do well!
Road Saftey: C-
I have never in my life seen such bad and dangerous driving. Not only do they drive extremely fast but they park so close together. I saw many cars touching another car's bumper. As a pedestrian you have to keep your wits about you. And just to add to this recklessness, no one wears a helmet as they weave in and out of traffic on their bicycles.
Public Bathrooms: C+
Most washrooms in Paris are for men and women. I don't know about you but I was not 100% comfortable with a man right beside me in the next stall.
The Smoke: B-
Its very common in Europe for people to smoke but because the restaurants are all open to the outside the smoke is everywhere. Even if you don't smoke you're constantly surrounded by it.
