Urban Paris

Why this score

Paris offers an unrivalled tourist draw and top healthcare, but sky-high property, high crime and almost no greenery drag it down. Paris offre un attrait touristique inégalé et un accès aux soins de premier plan, mais des prix immobiliers exorbitants, une délinquance élevée et une quasi-absence de verdure tirent son score vers le bas.
