A castle in my city burned down maybe a few years ago. To me, it was just a tourist spot but my friends who live in another parts of the country were asking me if I was alright and showed me support by donating for its reconstruction efforts (even though I never donated a penny).

So, I was pretty surprised how I got a more sentimental than I thought I ever would when I saw the images of the castle burning and seeing the rubble in-person.

What I'm trying to say is, I would imagine people who have real emotional and spiritual connection to a landmark would take something like the girl's comments quite personally. The French guy's reaction might be a bit overkill, but the girl is definitely being insensitive. Even if she genuinely found it pleasing, she should have just kept it to herself or maybe phrased it better.
