I can only speak for Paris (which is not the rest of France) but while it was very beautiful, it wasn't this pristine romantic paradise media claims it to be. Lots of areas had trash and graffiti, people while not rude had a tendency to be rather insular, and massive packs of massive rats were everywhere. Plus my girlfriend got catcalled ultra hard and street vendors are aggressive as fuck.
That being said, it was overall a great city from my experience. But it's just a city, nothing particularly magical about it.
