One of my favorite parts about riding the Paris metro is the music. The Paris metro association actually holds try outs for musicians to receive permission cards allowing them to play on metro platforms and in metro cars. My favorite musician is a young violinist who plays at the exit near the Musée de l’homme (which has debatably the best view of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, so is a huge tourist spot). Music triggers the release of dopamine in our brain, making us feel happy and often emotional when we hear it. Going to hear that violinist at the Eiffel Tower was chemically irresistible.
