Ah, Paris, one of the great cities of the world. With its wide, bustling boulevards, the beautiful Napoleonic architecture of the central arrondissements, the rich, multicolored culture of the Arabs and Africans from the surrounding banlieues, the fast-paced acrobats of Le Parkour that hail from the southern suburb of Évry, the brilliant and captivating Oriental neighborhood of Olympiades, the iconic entrances and stations of Le Métropolitain and the shiny, futuristic skyline of the skyscrapers gathered around the Bibliothèque nationale◊ and La Défense◊... Uh, what? Does Paris really have all that? Oh là là , we thought Paris was the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, and The Louvre (with its convenient supply of priceless, world-famous works of art) looming over bistros, cafés, art galleries and super-chic shops in Avenue des Champs-Élysées and the Rue de la Paix, Starving Artists in the Latin Quarter (or, during La Belle Epoque, deranged painters in Montmartre), the romantic old bridges over the River Seine, the gaudy music shows at the Moulin Rouge and Folies Bergère, and stuff like street mimes on every corner, with accordion music or/and Édith Piaf songs playing in the background, and snooty French people (the custom of men kissing each other on the cheek may be exploited for Ho Yay) smoking cigarettes and wearing berets, striped shirts and scarves while they carry around baguettes under their arms. And all the buildings are in the style of Haussmann's 19th century urban renewal, right...? Tragic romances set here tend to end with the corpse of some jilted lover floating in the Seine. Also expect any Japanese Tourist expressing their disappointment about the city not being glamorous as they thought. And also a nice city to host for peace conferences as evidenced by the number of peace treaties signed there. A place to Have a Gay Old Time. Not to Be Confused with gaily paring (cutting, skinning) things, paring gays, or Gay Purr-ee. |

National Lampoon's European Vacation greatly parodies this. Clark makes the whole family wear berets, and in a following scene, they eat at an atypical cafe outdoors, with the nearby Eiffel Tower thrust right in your face◊ and an over-the-top French Jerk for a waiter. | |

Averted by Miraculous Ladybug. Though it takes place in Paris, and its portrayal of the city looks the part, it isn't stereotypical and is pretty much just a backdrop for the series. And any damage as a result of the Monster of the Week is automatically repaired by Ladybug's powers. That being said, it really says something when the strongest negative emotions Hawk Moth can exploit are that people are not allowed to feed the pigeons, being called a liar and being made a fool by the only bully in the entire school. | |

Assassin's Creed: Unity: A lot of typical Parisian stuff is present, and the developers managed to squeeze the Eiffel Tower into a game set about a century before its construction, but the game doesn't shy away from showing the drearier or more mundane parts of the city.

The Bourne Series has Paris as a rather grim place, where Carlos the Jackal and his "old men of Paris" hang out. No one does any sight-seeing and in the first book, Jason/David and Marie spend a considerable amount of time running for their lives, with Marie also suffering from an attempted rape. Not a happy holiday. | |

Rugrats in Paris is set in an especially stereotypical version of the place, yet also manages to invoke the Far East stereotypes via musical numbers, a visit to a Japanese restaurant and a dream. Oh yeah, most of the action takes place in a Reptar theme park, so there's not as much Paris involved as the title would let you think. Yes, the Eiffel Tower is there, and so is the Arc de Triomphe, but not the Louvre. And Notre Dame, where Chas (Chuckie's dad) and Coco LaBouche's soon-to-be-ruined wedding took place. One line even had Betty about to fall asleep and asking Didi to "wake her up if she sees the hunchback". Betty and Didi even lampshade the general lack of French-ness in their trip, at least culinary-wise: | |

In the Phineas and Ferb special "Summer Belongs to You", the characters visit Paris. Many landmarks are seen, including the Seine River, the Eiffel Tower, and the Champs-Élysées. Candace, Ferb, and Isabella have various romantic woes ("I'm no fool, Stacy! I've seen the oil paintings!"), Baljeet is intimidated by a French Jerk, and a street mime keeps letting a red balloon float away. | |

The Flintstones visited prehistoric Paris in the theatrical movie The Man Called Flintstone. Various sights of Paris were seen during a song number, depicting it as a Stone Age version of this trope. Unusually for the series, Paris doesn't have a "prehistoric" rock-pun name, though the wood-and-stone-constructed "Eiffelrock Tower" is shown. Paris (and the Eiffelrock Tower) is briefly seen again in the late 1970s special "A Flintstone Christmas." | |

Paris, je t'aime, a 2006 film which consists of eighteen short films set in different districts of Paris, is a virtually express deconstruction of this trope, particularly the last short featuring an American woman who is in many respect the stereotype of an aimless tourist, who recounts in her limited French how she has long dreamed of seeing the city, but who seems to be failing to find the magic and romance she always expected, despite enjoying the sights. Finally, sitting in a public park, observing the mundane but intimate interactions of its inhabitants, she connects in earnest with the city and is overcome with emotion as her true love affair with it begins. | |

Star Trek, beginning with the time of The Next Generation, made reference to the President of the Federation keeping offices in Paris. The Presidential Office has a view of the Eiffel Tower. Also in view of the Eiffel Tower, in the aptly named episode "We'll Always Have Paris," is a café where Captain Picard once broke off a date with a woman who later marries a man who would go on to develop that episode's Applied Phlebotinum. And everyone from Paris/France is English. That being said, there is a partial subversion of this in Next Generation in that Picard, the only actual French character in all of Star Trek, is from LaBarre, a small rural village that is nowhere near Paris. |

In Street Fighter III: Third Strike, the French character Remy has a stage that is completely bizarre. The left hand side◊ looks pretty much like it could be some back-street in Paris, but the right hand side (Disco Metro entrance)◊ is pure fantasy and indeed, looks more like something out of Final Fantasy 7, rather than a real-world location. The incongruence is compounded by the fact that Third Strike's other stages are all generally based on real locations from the countries that the fighters represent - 42nd street subway (US), Santos Harbor (Brazil), St Basil's Cathedral (Russia), the Harrod's building, London (UK) etc. | |

Monk has some involvement with the City of Light: In "Mr. Monk and the Paperboy", Monk solved a murder in France just by reading a newspaper article in the San Francisco Chronicle. Partial subversion in the Tie-In Novel "Mr. Monk is Miserable", where Natalie expects to eat croissants and whatnot while enjoying the rustic splendor of the city. As soon as she sees the lights on the Eiffel Tower, and the Roue de Paris, and the Arc de Triomphe merely because L'Arche de le Defense is visible from the top of it, she launches into a long Character Filibuster (with which the author may or may not have agreed) about how commercialism and "doing things bigger" has ruined her beautiful city from being the way it was twenty years ago on her honeymoon. Then she finds an enormous parisian flat with a personal cafe and a waterfall being run by a sewer mutant vagrant (It Makes Sense in Context) and repeatedly waxes poetically throughout the book about how Paris even has better garbage than San Francisco note despite only ever seeing garbage from the 7th arrondissiment. Triple-subverted (or was it?) with a lampshade by the Cloudcuckoolander when the police are completely blase about a criminal plummeting to his death directly in front of them. |

In Les Misérables, the second half of Act I and all of Act II is set in Paris, but the musical frequently highlights the grittiest, grimiest, bloodiest parts of the city due to the low economic station of much of the cast and the nature of the revolution. The 2012 adaptation was similarly dirty (the sewer sequence, for example, was much dirtier than what is physically possible on stage), although areas set in the wealthier parts of the city ("Do You Hear the People Sing", for example, or anything set at Rue Plumet), featured the architectural styles, romance, and general cleanliness usually associated with this trope. Neither the Eiffel Tower nor the Arc de Triomphe were featured (the former because it hadn't been built yet, and the latter because it simply didn't need to be), and the most iconic Paris landmarks are the Seine river and the Elephant of the Bastille. | |

Speaking of Russia wrecking the Eiffel Tower (somewhat), the Soviets do convert it into a gigantic Tesla Coil in one mission of their campaign in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2. Although you could destroy an imitation of the Arc de Triomphe and Louvre. Incidentally, in Red Alert 1, failing a certain mission as the Allies results in a cutscene of a nuclear bomb going off near the Eiffel Tower. | |

The Eddy was filmed in the eastern part of the city (12th arrondissement) and suburbs (Montreuil and Bobigny) that are far less affluent and touristic than the city center.

An issue of Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew! featuring a battle with the Bunny From Beyond shows him converting the storyline's monstrous egg yolks back to normal in cities all over the world, including Earth-C's version of Paris, "Parrots" (though the final issue in the run would call it "Purris"), with a shot of its "Eyeful Tower." A later story would revisit Earth-C's France but avoided Parrots entirely (in favor of depicting other regions of the country). | |

On the first season of The Amazing Race, teams had to travel to Paris and climb to the top of (you guessed it!) the Eiffel Tower, and use a telescope to find a flag on top of another landmark, which turned out to be (you guessed it!) the Arc de Triomphe. | |

Averted in both Moulin Rouge! films. Both are set in The Gay '90s; in the historically accurate 1952 film, the streets are filthy and smelly, muggings are common and prostitutes are frequently arrested. In the 2000s version, the beautiful Moulin Rouge contrasts with the reality of that era (that inner-Paris was a slum and drug and drink addicts line the streets). | |

Paris 36: The trope is thoroughly embodied in the songs, mots notably those of Douce (Nora Arnezeder), the accordion soundtrack and the fact that the film concerns a troupe of Parisian cabaret entertainers. That doesn't mean the film doesn't include issues of the time, such as the effects of The Great Depression or fascist-leaning nationalism. | |

Paris is the first big city Yuri and co. gets to visit during the events of Shadow Hearts: Covenant. We can see the Eiffel Tower from Gepetto's apartment in Champs-Élysées as well as a lovely side-view of the Notre Dame Cathedral after emerging from an alternate exit of the abandoned railway. We're also intoduced to the Magimel Brothers, who certainly put "gay" back into Gay Paree. | |

Similarly, BattleTanx: Global Assault features a campaign level where the Tower is converted into a laser cannon; the player's objective is to get to the base of the tower and blow up the generator. Another mission shortly after has the player defending the Champs-Élysées from nearly a hundred enemy tanks (not all at once, thankfully). | |

Ratatouille: Paris is a picturesque modern city, where events in the hospitality industry are apparently considered front-page news. The latter is actually Truth in Television, as fake cheese and wine, rows over ownership of recipes, and chef's obituaries have all made Real Life headlines. Parisians have joked about the film being "realistic" still... for it gives plenty of screentime to rats, as the city is infamous for its increase in rat invasions due to the neglectful administration of mayor Anne Hidalgo. | |

The Little Mermaid: Chef Louis is, well, Hollywood's idea of a French cook. His sequence is introduced with accordion music (which is a cliché that's always associated to Paris), he has a Maurice Chevalier Accent, speaks about "Nouvelle Cuisine des Champs-Élysées" and even randomly name-drops Maurice Chevalier. This is all Anachronism Stew, because the film pretty clearly takes place in either the 18th century or in very early 19th century. | |
