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”.
