I think it's sad... I've lived in Paris for the last 15 years and have explored a lot of the city (but still have a lot to see). I remember a colleague, born and raised in the western suburbs, who saw the Opera for the first time the other day when he had to walk to the office because the metro from Saint-Lazare was out of order.

suburb vs Paris is also something else. I had the exact same experience two times: once with the opera , and another with montmartre’s sacré coeur ( she didn’t even know what that was, she just told me « that’s nice, what is it ? »). I was in a bit of a shock.
