Not everyone likes Paris, this I know... but to me I can’t get enough of its rues, canals, museums, icons and people... French people have a ‘niceness’ about them... they are French, they know it and embrace their ‘Frenchness’ in a way that is beautiful. Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight......... |

This needs...a bit of attitude? Not everyone likes Paris, this I know... but to me? I can’t get enough of its rues, canals, museums, icons and [all zee] people... *chuckles and winks* I still can't get over all the gold gilt. Man--I'd only go to Paris with the right one.  I have dreams of what you've done... pick me next time!!! |

thank you my lovely Serenity! I love your 'attitude'  I will gladly pick you any day... I'll be returning next September! I have written some prose and posted it in the prose section of my time in Paris - I hope you like it. I live my life vicariously thru others! I don't know who said that, but I like it! love RDB Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight......... |

Hi, Roniece, as a provincial in France I like Paris with its beauty but I would never live in this city, people here are always in a hurry and I don't enjoy that....However I think that as in many place you have to know some friends to enjoy the place...I would say, I like Paris but I don't like parisians....I think they can be rough and stupid....I remember one trip in Paris with my car, and morons seeing my provincial number plate begin to push my car with their bumper...I think a lot of parisians are very narcissic and consider the rest of the country as red necks....So you see there are a lot of reasons to think differently... have a nice day yann |

Last time I was in Paris, I bought gasoline for $2.23 a gallon. Texas is nice in the fall. [deadpan] |

Yes Roniece, Paris is a beautiful city with so many points of interest and I loved the countryside. Although I hate to say it, I'm a bit inclined to think like Yann when it comes to some Parisians but I'm so glad you enjoyed your holiday. love you Lindsay |
