Well it wasn't really sizzling, the longest snows in 15 years, flakes so light they were falling upwards!I had forgotten how gorgeous Paris was, I hadn't spent so much time home for 10 years! I have enjoyed rediscovering it and falling in love with it again.
There's nothing like people-watching at the Jardin du Luxembourg or dancing on jazz at the Caveau de la Huchette. How about some crèpes rue Mouffetard and or a coffee rue Saint André des Arts? Of course, a croissant or a tartine and a crème at the Deux-Magots is a must after a night out at the Café Costes or Buddha Bar, and just before going to the Louvres for their Sunday specials. Don't forget the amazing experience of riding across the city in Vélib', bicycles that are available for rent in bike parks located every 500 meters around the city, for almost nothing. You won't miss on the views, won't be polluting, and bicycle trails are pretty much on most of the streets of Paris.It's pretty crazy to be able to do all this so easily! I hadn't missed it that much while I was away, but now I can't help to think how fortunate Parisians are. And look at the buildings, they're all a century old, at least!
It's been great catching up with my friends, as they take me around to new places. Chilling in Paris is definitely a must do, and sorry to say, but I think it's better than New York City. We're talking about chilling, not living, not working, just chilling. I'm might be influenced by the fact that I'm French...
