A Moveable Feast

by Jefie - last update: May 25, 2007

In the shadow of the Eiffel Tower
I spent 10 amazing days walking through the warm and sunny streets of Paris. My tips, just like my trip, will be organized according to the different neighborhoods we visited. I was amazed at how each had its own very special and distinct flavour - it definitely gave a lot of color to our trip!

On top of visiting museums, monuments, cemetaries, and having my fair share of delicious French cuisine and wine, I also had the great pleasure of meeting some people I have gotten to know through VT: Debora, who I first met in Montreal two years ago, along with her boyfriend Felicien and her sister Laetitia, and Linda (36waterfalls), who came all the way from The Netherlands to spend a day with me. This was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Paris, and for that I must thank VT :o)

I also spent quite a bit of time looking for the generations of writers who lost themselves in Paris. Ernest Hemingway once wrote: "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." - I do hope he was right, because living with Paris in my heart sure sounds like a good way to live!

Pros:"It's such a visitor-friendly city!"
Cons:"The indecent number of smokers and cigarette stubs"
In A Nutshell:"No wonder it's the most visited city in the world!"

 My father worked in the U.S. Embassy for five years, affording me and my brother the opportunity to live in this wonderful city during that time frame. You found a lot of places I never heard of.

 Good job on a unique and lovely Paris page! Truly one of the best cities!

 I truly loved reading about your journey through Paris. I'll be traveling there alone this October. I hope my visit is half as good as yours.

 My wife is from Paris and I travel there once a year (sometimes twice). I am embarrassed to admit that I am only familiar with a few places that you mentioned.
