What people think and reality: an itinerary that breaks stereotypes and goes beyond what is normally sought after in Paris and Rome

Abstract

In Brazil, it is common sense that Paris and Rome are the cradle of Western civilisation. Such information is not totally wrong. However, the mythification and the massified thought structure makes such places be understood as perfect places, or places where problems do not exist. This work intends to elaborate an itinerary that includes the main touristic points of the cities mentioned, but also allows to know the reality of the city of its inhabitants, making an exchange, knowledge, leading to the breaking of stereotypes, showing the folklore and thus promoting true interculturality.
