LincolnPirate,
What you meant is that this place has no soul.
It’s all sterile and artificial, but what else to expect from a city built in a desert basically started from scratch 10 years ago.
Boulevard Saint-Germain and all that soul that can be felt there will never be felt here. Because of the summer month weather (not suitable for humans), lack of historical sites (because of the first reason), the culture as it stands still today (although a bit confused) wouldn’t allow such development, even if the climate permitted which obviously does not.
Everything here is copied from something and somewhere else (Venice, Rome, Athens, New York, etc…) but the original soul fails to be replicated. All we see are sterile facades with no culture no added in the expected soul.
Thus the artificial and dull feeling everybody has, went coming from a conventional country.
On the other hand if you come from a miserable and somehow limited background, the artificial illusion you perceive here will satisfy you.
