"Paris will always be Paris", a sentence from an old french movie...
This city is quite unbelievable. Beautiful, attractive, mysterious, but depressing and disgusting sometimes...
Paris if full of splendid places to discover and re-discover (look at the Eiffel Tower, "pretty in red" to celebrate the chinese new year's day, while the Chinese President was visiting our capital).
The french "trend" is here and in no other part of France (that's what Parisians say !). It's the place to "see" : that means the place you have to visit, and the place in which you observe what happens in France, where you can feel in the vanguard of the world's movements (arts, culture, VIPs, new entertainment...).
The french melting-pot could not be better displayed than in some of its areas (Barbes, Le Marais, La Goutte d'Or, Chinatown...).
I have left Paris twice since I moved in the first time (1993), but, I have always come back... Twice, I had enough of this city, probably too big for me, but twice its good qualities and, above all, the flourishing job opportunities made me change my mind...
"Paris sera toujours Paris", une phrase extraite d'un film, devenue l'embleme radiophonique de la capitale, sur les ondes de Radio Nova, la premiere radio libre de la bande FM....
Cette ville est assez incroyable. Belle, attirante, mystérieuse, mais parfois repoussante et déprimante...
Paris est pleine d'endroits spendides à redécouvrir en permanence (ici, la Tour Eiffel drappee dans une robe rouge a l'occasion de la venue du President chinois dans la capitale).
La "tendance" francaise se trouve ici et pas ailleur (c'est ce que les parisiens disent, en tout cas !). C'est l'endroit qu'il faut voir, d'ou l'on peut voir (le meilleur observatoire de la culture en France) et ou il est de bon gout d'etre vu...
Paris est egalement un lieu de melange interculturel (Barbes, Le Marais, La Goutte d'Or, le quartier chinois...).
En ce qui me concerne, j'ai quitte deux fois Paris depuis mon arrivee en 1993, mais j'y suis toujours revenu. J'ai toujours pense que cette ville etait trop grande pour moi, mais ses qualites et surtout les opportunites d'emploi m'y ont chaque fois ramene..
- Pros:Full of good things
- Cons:Full of sad things
- In a nutshell:Paris is always Paris

I LOVE Malongo Café! I was just there in November - knew I must've read about it on VT and here it is on your tip!! Thanks :)
I really enjoyed my visit to Paris on your pages. I was only there for 1 day years ago and didn't get to see a lot. Thanks
thanks for your info on Paris my first experience was not so good but then again I was not so well informed & a newby traveller. Many happy returns for your birthday :-) Jo
I'm not the world's most industrious consumer, but that's a good tip about shopping in those "arrondissements a deux chiffres". Nice photos on your "strange summer" travelogue!
A lot of great updates ! It was allready almost one year ago I visited your Paris page for the last time !
Your pages really reflect your love of Paris. I especially liked the pictures of your friends. My eldest daughter shares your birthdate of January 27, but 8 years later.
What an enjoyable, laid-back walk through Paris. Thank you very much for sharing.
Y'a des nouveaux trucs ?
Je me demande si les couleurs de Paris(tres beau ce rouge de la Tour),se voient de Marseille?!
those r some pretty bad id pics, lol i would love 2 get back to paris though in my lifetime, i was2 young the first time around!!!
