How about just being in a Parisian suburb?

About Beauvais and Gournay-en Bray

A short drive towards Paris put us in the beautiful city of Beauvais. Again a great town square, lots to do and an amazing catherdral. Again on paper a great place to consider. In person, there was a lot of trash and homeless people as it was just at the end of the surburban lines from Paris. We took a quick detour theough Gournay-en-Bray on our way back to Amiens for an early night.
