Yes, I realize that Bastille Day was a week ago but are we ever done metaphorically storming the Bastille? Of course not, so here you go. Also I don’t know how I found all these, I didn’t search for them, the internet just delivered them to me. Without further ado:

W.W.H.D? What would Haussmann do? Georges-Eugene Haussmann is responsible for the Paris that we all know today. He was commissioned by Napoleon III to take a city with narrow streets where rebellions could form easily, Les Mis style, and create a beautiful city with great terminal vistas and enclosure that makes everyone happy. Now, what […]
In this blog, I have decided not to include any pictures as I believe that it is better that the people that I have observed to go faceless. In the three weeks that I have been in Paris, I have had the time of my life. There are many times in which I feel that … Continue reading Faceless →
Amy and I went to La Roseraie du Val-de-Marne the other day. It is “inscribed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historical Monuments” and boasts about its 11,000 rose bushes in the pamphlet. Pictures were bursting at brim with bright and full flowers. Was this rose garden as impressive as it […]

Everything from amateur journalism that went nowhere to anti-capitalist sentiment have all been discussed, with a shocking lack of distinction between its and it’s. This may be my most bold move yet. There seems to be an obsession with orange juice […]

I’m not actually going to count them because there are too many. Bercy is my absolute favorite place I’ve been on this trip, and that’s saying something. To clarify, I’ve had high hopes for Bercy since I saw it on the schedule. I vaguely knew about the area because I’m crazy obsessed with the Passerelle … Continue reading How do I love Bercy?

Last Friday, before the adventure of the Jazz Club, before the starry-eyed amazement (and directional frustration) at the Louvre, Claire and I ended up in a cute pedestrian market place. Rue Daguerre is located about 5 minutes from the Denfert-Rochereau station, and is probably one of my favorite areas to go in the 14th arrondissement. […]
Paris is an awe-inspiring city. I have found myself with my jaw dropped at the beauty and tranquility of the parks that encourage reading, naps, and painting. The transportation facilitates exploration and adventure each day. The architecture alone makes me feel like I’m living in a grandiose movie. Despite all […]
