A pretty cobbled street in Paris has become a huge hit on Instagram, with thousands of pictures and “likes”.<\/p>\n

But residents of Rue Cremieux have now had enough and are calling on the city council to restrict access at certain times.<\/p>\n

One has even launched an Instagram account logging all the unwanted activity on the street.<\/p>\n

It illustrated how the search for the perfect picture could become a problem, said travel blogger<\/a> Kris Morton.<\/p>\n

Residents have asked the city council to provide a gate that can be closed at peak times – evenings, weekends and at sunrise and sunset, when good light attracts people searching for a perfect Instagram picture.<\/p>\n

One resident told radio station France Info<\/a>: “We sit down to eat and just outside we have people taking photos, rappers who take two hours to film a video right beneath the window, or bachelorette parties who scream for an hour. Frankly, it’s exhausting.”<\/p>\n

Hogging photo spots<\/h2>\n

Ms Morton told BBC News she had witnessed a lot of unacceptable behaviour from Instagram users when she had visited beauty spots in Iceland, Venice and at Machu Picchu, Peru.<\/p>\n

“There, I stopped and stood at an overlook with my boyfriend and pointed out examples of every cliche Instagram pose being done at the same time along the terraces there,” she said.<\/p>\n

“We stood and waited for a couple of minutes while a woman had her male companion taking dozens of photos in different poses, blocking the whole pathway before I got aggravated and just walked in front of the camera to get by.”<\/p>\n

But, Ms Morton said, it was the people rather than the app that was to blame.<\/p>\n

“Just taking pictures for Instagram isn’t a problem and if it inspires people to travel and see the world it can be a great thing,” she said.<\/p>\n

“But intruding on private property, hogging photo spots so no-one else can enjoy them or take their own picture while posing for 100 different shots, or venturing over guardrails or off-trail for a better shot just aren’t OK.<\/p>\n

“Instagram away – but do it with some common courtesy and respect for property owners, fellow visitors, and the environment.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
