This dataset contains the Paris subset of the Tourpedia dataset, specifically focusing on points of interest (POIs) categorized as attractions (dataset available at http://tour-pedia.org/download/paris-attraction.csv). The original dataset comprises 4,351 entries that encompass a variety of attractions across Paris, providing details on several attributes for each POI.

The review fields contain textual feedback from users, aggregated from platforms such as Google Places, Foursquare, and Facebook, offering a qualitative insight into each location.

However, due to the initial dataset's high proportion of incomplete or inconsistently structured entries, a rigorous cleaning process was implemented. This process entailed the removal of erroneous and incomplete data points, ultimately refining the dataset to 477 entries that meet criteria for quality and structural coherence. These selected entries were subjected to further validation to ensure data integrity, enabling a more accurate representation of Paris' attractions.

  • POI name
  • POI's address
