Toujours Paris

Toujours Paris
Parigi - France
Magazine: November 2007

Someone once said that to keep the spirit alive it should be nourished with frequent visits to Paris.

The Paris of a thousand facets, majestic with its buildings and romantic along the Seine, brazen under the lights of the Champs Elysées and Pigalle, timid under the shadow of the small shady squares… Paris with its chaotic markets, with its busy museums, silent and demure in its passages, half hidden art galleries… Paris dazzling with its golden gates, Paris melancholy with its slate rooftops, Paris always different, changeable and capricious, seductive and austere… its magic wraps around you, captures you. And never leaves you. Paris with a thousand faces from the most open to those sealed. To be discovered by wandering without a fi xed destination. Following is a small report of special discoveries, thanks to tips from friends or thanks just to curiosity.
