I think people just don't explore it properly, get stuck in the touristy bits where they're treated like scum by the rip off tourist oriented places who serve you bad coffee for €10 and treat you badly because they don't care if you never come back as there's another bus load of fresh customers / victims every 5 minutes. Paris has much more interesting bits, they're just not immediately obvious in a short trip. It also has really much better food if you're prepared to go for a bit of a wander and do some research online or get local advice. I've always found it an amazing city for a proper bit of urban exploring. It's got huge amounts of interesting history and architecture and quirky places. I think a lot of people arrive in CDG (not a wonderful airport), get on a smelly train arrive in the centre and see the stereotypical stuff and that's it.

We opted to stay a week on a barge type thing on a river. Was really nice scenery. Some driver guy collected us and told us we were never to travel unattended EVER. Felt more like a prison than a barge. Police with huge guns everywhere, pointing them at people passing to move them quicker up the street. We could only eat what was given and our host gave us no privacy. He literally ate every meal with us and hung around until we asked him to leave every night. We were going gaga on this ****ing boat so one day we decide to hop on a smaller one and make our way to land alone. I was 19 and not quite understanding how important it was to have a bodyguard. We had 5 guys chase us down and nearly rugby tackle us to the ground screaming at us. They told us that we would be killed immediately if we go off alone. Back to the barge we go. That night i hear fireworks all over land, turns out it was gunshots. Cue to the morning we get to land and people lying dead everywhere. We left that morning. Really horrific.

Glasgow being a city of Empire has a lot going for it (shopping the best outside of London, great bars and nightclubs, the friendliest people on these here Islands, architecture to my mind better than Dublin or any city in Ireland). Weather can be a bit dreary though.
