Paris…
Cole Porter wrote:
I love Paris in the springtime
I love Paris in the fall
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles
I love Paris every moment
Every moment of the year
I love Paris
Why, oh, why do I love Paris?
Every time I visit Paris, Cole Porter’s song plays in my mind as if it was the soundtrack to my Parisian adventure. And every time, I fall in love with Paris a little more. So I ask why does Paris have such an effect on me?
- La Tour Eiffel – I am always in awe of Gustave Eiffel’s contribution to the 1889 World Fair. A trip to Paris is not complete without a pilgrimage to the Eiffel Tower and a thousand and one photographs to immortalize its beauty.
- The architecture – Whether you are looking at La Grande Arche de la Défense or buildings in the Haussmanian style, there is always a new detail, a new angle to look at and admire.
- The sprawling parks in a large city – Jardin du Luxembourg, Jardin des Tuileries, Bois de Vincennes and many more.
- And most importantly – the way I feel in Paris. It is difficult to find the words to explain the feeling other than to say “I am at home in Paris”.



Ah, dear Cole! Thanks for the ‘trip’ to gay Paree!
