The capital government of France launched the smile service again to enhance the tourist attraction.
Parisians put down their "arrogance" and provide free guides. In order to increase the tourist attraction of Paris, the Paris municipal government launched a free "smile guide" service. This is another new measure after the "hospitality" activity initiated in July last year.
Encouraging foreign language guides in nine languages. The famous tourist destination Paris has the reputation of "romantic capital" and "city of lights". Tens of millions of tourists visit Paris every year. However, while the city enjoys a good name, Parisians are known for their rudeness. Most tourists think that Parisians are arrogant and indifferent, especially that Parisians insist on not speaking foreign languages, which brings a lot of inconvenience to tourists.
In July 2007, the Paris government launched a campaign to learn hospitality. The citizens of Paris generally welcomed this activity and actively cooperated.
More and more Parisians热情ly help tourists, and tourists can also choose the language they are proficient in from nine foreign languages to communicate with the citizens.
After the "hospitality" activity, the Paris government recently launched a free "smiling guide" service again.
The relevant departments of the government recruited volunteers who could speak various foreign languages as guides to take foreign tourists to visit Paris for free. The "smiling guide" neither charges nor accepts tips, only requiring tourists to book two weeks in advance and pay for the guide's transportation. Now, this team has 120 volunteers and has received 1100 tourists.
Quoted Christian Hagira, volunteer: "I always hear my American friends complain, except for Parisians, Paris is great! I really want to do something about it." So, he became a "smiling guide" as soon as he retired. He took tourists to visit ancient buildings near the Eiffel Tower and along the Seine River, rather than just looking at the tower and the river. He would also take tourists to local famous restaurants to taste authentic French cuisine, and then sit in street-side cafes.
Some volunteers would also take tourists on bike rides around the city or go shopping in street-side shops. This way, tourists can enjoy the pure French atmosphere.

"The trip is very relaxing"
The "Smiling Guide" activity has been well received by tourists. A 62-year-old American tourist, Steve Bernstein, said: "It's like walking with an old friend you haven't seen for a long time."
What he liked most was the slower pace of travel, "This kind of travel is very relaxing, you don't have to constantly remind yourself that you only have half an hour to visit the Eiffel Tower because you have to rush to the next site - the Louvre." The organization "Paris Welcomes You" Chairman Dominique Kota said: "The government wants to change the image of Parisians in the minds of tourists. We want people to know that Paris is not just old buildings, but also human resources - there are small bars, restaurants and cultural atmosphere. Paris is not just monuments."
Following Paris, the western French city of Nantes also launched the "Hospitality" activity. With the development of the "Hospitality" activity, more and more tourists need the "Smiling Guide" service.
However, the "Paris Welcomes You" organization has also encountered some difficulties. For example, the salary of paid staff and the problem of tourists canceling at the last minute. Kota hopes to get more corporate sponsorship and volunteer support.
