What a beautiful story about Paris. I'm guilty of never visiting the city, but now you've got me! I'm planning a short holiday and tired of visiting English speaking countries, like UK, where I lived 18 years and although different to my own country, it's not that much. I seek to expand my travel and experience other cultures. I also know some French, having studied it at school and love languages. I would like a bit of adventure and different language. The Paris Olympics must fill the whole city with tourists. But maybe in a quieter time I can visit. Thanks for sharing your beautiful story.
