Terrible. I was in Melbourne 2 weeks ago. Also terrible. Too many

I was there 2 years ago and it hadn't the same positive vibe that it had

Too many people and two many tourists. I had been in Paris in 1993,
1998, 2001 and then again two years ago. I could no believe the increase
in the number of tourists. We had a pass that got us past the lines in
some places but there were a couple, like the Louvre, where you had to
book a reservation about two weeks in advance. We got into the Musee
D'Orsay  with okay but l'Orangerie  was a 3 1/2 hour wait to get into.

The only way to visit Paris these days is to turn left where everybody
turns right. Unfortunately, there's a reason why nobody turns left.
