I was in Salzburg in August, very nice city indeed. Definitely in my top ten, maybe even five.
And I saw a rat there. We actually joked about it with my wife, saying « hey, we’re not the only Parisians visiting. »
Rats are like bed fleas, definitely more visible on news channels than when walking around the city.
I'm not Parisian by birth, I didn't really like Parisians (like all French people) when I was young. but having visited the world quite a bit, Paris is objectively one of the most beautiful cities.
After all, it’s always a matter of taste. I love Florence, Edinburgh and Chicago, but to deny that Paris is at the top of the ranking would be in bad faith.
As for the systematic criticism of Paris city management that's another matter, political and ideological, not the place to debate it.

Limoge train station. Back to Paris.From what I can see, it's not far from Limoge. It's a beautiful place - my father comes from a village not far from here.
It's also a major site of the French resistance during the war (maquis du Limousin). It's great (and surprising) that you know the series "A French Village". It's a very informative series that I recommend.
Many cheeses to try in this region : Cantal, Salers, Saint Nectaire, Bleu d'Auvergne, ...)
Enjoy it

We stayed at a place called La Varache. Amazing magical land. Deep dark foreats- very wild. In some ways more untamed than in America because it seems so old yet empty. Just crazy beautiful.From what I can see, it's not far from Limoge. It's a beautiful place - my father comes from a village not far from here.

Nazi killed many civilians at Loire Valley area, when I visited there, I was surprised to see too many monument of victims during last half of 1944.

I agree with that.
Of course there are rats in Paris, but there aren't really any more than anywhere else.
I went on a trip to Vietnam in 2015. In Ho Chi Minh City, there are rats everywhere, and I was amazed at how unafraid they are of humans. I had to give way to them several times when they crossed the sidewalk. I ate at a restaurant with a rat the size of a small dog right next to me, I thought he was going to help himself to my plate. I wasn't in a palace, that's for sure... but it wasn't a slum either.
I say this without any judgment... I loved Vietnam so much, it's a beautiful country with such nice people.
I have family who live in the countryside near Dusseldorf, and they used to tell me that their little dog was an expert at hunting mice/rats.
All in all, there are rats just about everywhere, as long as they can find something to eat.

Agree! and no rats
Surely no fake news..
Even in Austria
But it doesn't say whether Austrian rats are better bred than French rats.
Ratten in Salzburg: Schlecht sortierter Abfall und Komposthaufen locken Nager an
In Bürmoos haben bei einem Mehrparteienhaus Essensreste im Gelben Sack Ratten angelockt. In der Landeshauptstadt war früher die Gemeinde per Gesetz zur Rattenbekämpfung verpflichtet.
Neue Rattenplage: Ärger über Gelbe Säcke
Der Widerstand gegen die Gelben Säcke für Plastikmüll reißt in Gemeinden nicht ab. In Eugendorf lässt der Bürgermeister einen Extracontainer im Recyclinghof aufstellen, damit Säcke nicht länger auf den Straßen liegen. Zuletzt hatte man auch Probleme mit Ratten.

Immer öfter Rattensichtungen in Wien
In Wien werden immer öfter Ratten gesichtet – in den Kellern und auf den Straßen. Gründe dafür sind oft herumliegende Lebensmittelreste oder die Arbeiten an den großen U-Bahn-Baustellen. Von einer Rattenplage wollen Fachleute aber noch nicht sprechen.

I don't know about that, but I suspect the French rats get to eat better food.Even in Austria
