Am savurat cu mare placere imaginile si aromele Parisului, chiar daca am o capacitate redusa de intelegere a limbii. Uitasem ce frumos e la Paris. Merci beaucoup Monica!
Love this <3 "And artists are not just born, they are made. Created through practice on the very streets and passageways of the city. " My favorite part about living in Paris is being SURROUNDED by inspiration and beauty!
There certainly something different in Paris, whether the way people dress, enjoy life, speak the language or have the opportunity to surround themselves with culture, and reading your reflections has brought back to mind the feeling of that intangible quality that it's quite unique to that city. It's hard to explain to those that haven't noticed it but easy to understand once you have.
I knew you would get it, based on your culture-filled posts. I like your way of putting it: Paris has an intangible quality to it that you have to live to know.
As the French say “un certain je ne sais quoi” that I felt taking shape when reading your thoughts on Paris. Your writing definitely captures that essence.
Now I want to sit in Paris and watch people walk by too, croissant in hand. It’s an easy 4 or so hour train ride away from here and yet I’ve only seen 2 train stations on my way to / from London 😅
Paris is just so romantic. It sounds cliché, but it's true. It looks like a movie set, even in the grungy parts. Love the sentiment of "Paris belongs to its people. People in Paris live in, on and around all the cultural and architectural wonders." Yes, yes, yes!
The thing about being part of the crowd and forgetting about your own experience is so true!! also people-watching. You painted the perfect picture!
Thanks, Barbs!

Ohhh it's totally worth a stop-over or a weekend getaway! 😍

True, Paris has something unique about it that you can't explain much in words, you have to feel it. Thanks for reading, Caoilainn!
