Favorite Thing: I once thought there was a lack of courtesy in all France...
I was wrong.
Paris is definetely, according to my three experiences, a city where most people I've met were rude and seem to be unhappy being there.
Impatient, Parisiens really never caught my heart.
Though, magically, the city did...
Fondest Memory: A waiter obliging me to take the meal I did not want in a restaurant, another waiter condesending my accent, men flirting outloud on the streets like we were piece of meat, the crowd when you say you're from Québec's province, people who want you to say any word in french because that makes them amazed or hearing french-canadian french!, people on the streets ignore you when you need help - they are too busy?, the guy at the Help Desk in Montparnasse's train station suck big time.
But as soon as I walked through the city, saw its wonderful architectureand arts, walked through its villages in the little streets, visited some places, ate some other places, it seemed that I was surrounded by a live museum... everywhere I looked, there was something beautiful in front of me.
Maybe that's why Paris looks so romantic?

Too bad you thought the Parisiens were not that friendly, different from my experience, best, Karl | littlesam1 Thu Jul 1, 2004 15:52 UTC Paris is my favorite city of all. I really liked your unusual pictures. You have some unusual angles in your pictures that create such a unique perspective. | tpangelinan Thu Apr 15, 2004 02:10 UTC Great page, very informative and love the photos!
