<p>When my girlfriend and I visited Paris in January 2020, we noticed something more than pretty old buildings and romantic restaurants: It&rsquo;s quite creepy at night.</p> <p>Some districts in Paris are quite poor.</p> <p>Our hotel was in such a neighborhood. I wouldn&rsquo;t book a hotel room in that area again. But it was cheap.</p> <p>Getting to our hotel was a struggle on its own. It was above a French pub, and it was full of drunk people who didn&rsquo;t speak a word of English, and we needed to get our keys. In the end, the hotel owner opened a vague door somewhere, and we were able to get in.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/globetrotters/paris-isnt-just-the-city-of-romance-and-history-it-has-a-dark-side-a5ee686fb70a"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
