This reminds me of how Brits were always totally obsessed with all the regulations that the unelected EU bureaucrats were supposedly inflicting on us all the time, and then you’d go to France and see kids diving off a high-board into a shallow pool contaminated with battery acid with absolutely no lifeguards to be seen, and generally no-one seems to give a shit.

Yeah but you can't wear boxer style trunks otherwise they will shout at you. They have weird priorities over there

Not all of France is like Paris, and the Seine is not a pool. (Plus, battery acid would probably count as a good attempt to clean it up, not as contamination.)

French people let their dogs shit absolutely everywhere and nobody cares. That was the really surprising thing for me.

Paris is beautiful but you better keep an eye on where you're stepping.
