While Paris is spotless compared to London, I thought the Metro was drab,
uninspiring and could do with a good clean.

You didn't observe any merde de chien then?

The merde de chien is a grossly overstated Parisian "thing"...
What I found much more interesting was the upfront activities of the RATP
"Agents Surete"......
Now the BTP they aint.........But boy do they put it about and to great
effect too if the speed of departure of the Eastern European Beggars from
our carriage was anything to go By....!
In rememberance of John Peel....In through the Out door !!!

No. We spotted very few dogs, although I caught one customer leaving a
restaurant with a dog. I thought Paris was very clean. I was most impressed
with a local up at Montmatre kicking an empty beer can and other rubbish
into a kerb drainage hole.
