Paris, France
London Paris Egypt Bangkok Sweden
Long considered the paragon of style, Paris is the most glamorous city in Europe.
It is at once deeply traditional - a village-like metropolis whose inhabitants continue to be notorious for their hauteur -
and famously cosmopolitan. While such contradictions and contrasts may be the reality of any city, they are the makings of
Paris: consider the tiny lanes and alleyways of the Quartier Latin or Montmartre against the monumental vistas from the
Louvre to La Defense; the multiplicity of street markets and old-fashioned pedestrian arcades against the giant underground
commercial complexes of Montparnasse and Les Halles; or the aristocratic wealth of the grand quarters against the vibrant
chaos of the poorer districts.
At times, Paris can feel inhumanly magnificent, the arrogance of its monuments encompassing
the chilly pomp of the Pantheon, the industrial chic of the Eiffel Tower and the almost spiritual glasswork of the Louvre
pyramid. Yet it also operates on a very human scale, with exquisite, secretive little nooks tucked away from the
Grands Boulevards and very definite little communities revolving around games of boules and the local boulangerie and cafe.
And even as Paris’s culture is transformed by its large immigrant and gay populations, even as extravagant new buildings are
commissioned and erected, many of the city’s streets, cafes and restaurants remain remarkably, defiantly unchanged.
