Lol my dumbass thought that was the Burger King, until I saw him holding a drink in his hand 😂😂😂

1300 year old historic building: gets turned into just another McDonald's

[jetsale]

Well I see the golden arches so McDonald's moved in😂😂😂

[gunsfree]

Sadly it wasn’t the burgers king that managed to get that location

Mom - Where do you wanna eat?
Kid - The non specific but very famous fast food chain 😂

[mayuri]

Why the need to censor McDonalds in that admittedly hilarious way?

We got the Alsace Lorraine region back btw.

You say the building style "comes from the Alsace-Lorraine region of Germany" which makes it sound like it's a part of Germany now. (It isn't)

[fredericlepeltier]

The (unscpecified but well known fast food chain with golden arches) had to maintain both the facade and the interior as the whole building is classified as a landmark, making it one of the most beautiful restaurant of the chain. It is right by St Lazare railway station, a block from all the departement stores.

You guys are gonna start another European war by calling Alsace-Lorraine German lol.

[Rayerie]

McDonald's can't sue your for saying their name or recording the front exterior lmao

[tom_lnd]

Alsace-Lorraine is not a part of germany, because germany had to give the region back to france after ww1, the return was part of the treaty of versailles

[Veewee]

You say “used to belong to France” like it doesn’t belong to France again. France reclaimed the region after WW1 and again after WW2.

[samdumaquis]

Alsace Lorraine IS IN FRANCE France won it back

[cassandrarocha]

It would’ve made more sense if it was a Burger King restaurant

Why did McDonald’s take it and not Burger King? So mad rn

[angusmcd]

Alsace has been part of France since 1918.
