Mon Paris

by Klod5 - last update: May 17, 2006

Place de la Concorde
I often have the opportunity to go to Paris.

Je n'ai jamais eu pour Paris, la fascination qu'éprouvent la majorité des touristes. C'est normal, car j'estime que Toulouse est une ville plus belle, et Paris est pour moi synonyme de foule, de travail, de stress...
Par contre, l'histoire des monuments de la capitale française m'a toujours passionné.


" If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a Moveable Feast "


Ernest Hemingway - In movable feast. 1964
The garden of Belleville
I like this city for everything that it represents history and culture, but I would not like to live there.

I propose to present you Paris with my artist's eye. I would like to present you of the districts, that they are very tourist, or less known, that I invite you to watch with a different eye.

Do you well want ?

J'ai découvert, depuis quelques années que l'on peut lire Paris différemment. En j'aime aller dans certains quartiers, moins touristiques, ou regarder les lieux les plus fréquentés avec une autre manière de voir.
C'est ce Paris différent que je souhaite partager avec vous.

Si vous le voulez bien !

Un petit tour dans Paris ?
Visitez Paris avec moi...

La Tour Effeil
I am going to take you at the Louvre, surely, on the sides of the Seine, and to Notre-Dame, but by paths different from those that are usual to the tourists.

I want to take you to see the districts of Paris, that it is Belleville or La Defense, the places where you will be able to feel the life of Paris, and also of the islets of charm and peace, to the heart of the city constantly in movement, loud and industrious.

I am going to guide you in the old districts of Le marais or of La Cite and Le Quartier Latin, in the old alleys (again!) that I like so much.

I propose you to visit with me the numerous gardens of Paris.

Finally, if you want to make some purchases and shopping, or to go in a restaurant, I am going to tempt to indicate you of the places where I like to go. Not necessarily the places the more frequented by the tourist, and sometimes too expansives.

What is the meteo in Paris ?

 Paris has a wealth of beautiful gardens, most of which I still need to visit. Thanks for sharing the tips.
