Whatever Mona Lisa is smiling about, it certainly isn’t a new survey of 2,000 Brits conducted by EasyJet—she was voted the world’s most disappointing tourist attraction on a list that also marked down her home, the Louvre.
In fact, Paris accounts for four to the most disappointing, with two more in Rome and the rest scattered across Germany, Italy, Belgium and Denmark. But, as the French say, à chacun son goût. On the plus side, Rome place a site on the ‘ten most desirable’ list, while Paris placed none.
