I agree with limiting the influx of tourists to these famous spots but I hope it doesn't become a case of who can pay the most.I remember the last time we were in Paris it didn't even seem like the same city with all the tourists.
From "Travel Tomorrow"
"As the world’s leading tourist destination, France faces the pressing need to better manage the influx of visitors during peak seasons. This influx poses threats to the environment, the quality of life for local residents, and the overall visitor experience. The urgency to address overtourism is evident worldwide, as international travel rebounds following the Covid-19 pandemic.
Many iconic French attractions, including the Mont-Saint-Michel abbey in Normandy, have reported beimg overwhelmed by the sheer number of tourists. Etretat only has 1,200 residents, but its famous Channel beach, made popular by the Netflix series “Lupin“, sees up to 10,000 tourists daily during the high season, causing concerns about erosion and the preservation of natural landmarks.
