Sadly, Paris will never be the beautiful city of romance ever again. It will cease to be a top destination for western honeymooners, or a place children dream about visiting. The list of historical adversity Paris has survived and recovered from is vast: Wars, famines, dangerous ideologies, and mass destruction. The one thing it can not survive, nor recover from, is the current massive demographic shift. Paris will never be the same, and the rest of Europe follow unless the people become courageous enough to stand up.
