Que c'est étrange.

My old street

― .adam (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 23:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually I lived in the third building from the left in that picture, just after the hotel.

Quelle rue?

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 23:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Rue De Nesle, just off of the Rue Dauphine.

― .adam (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 23:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Very fun.

Here?

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 23:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Looks like it! I can't tell from that angle. There was a semi-functioning jazz club on the ground floor and a small theatre over the street.

― .adam (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 23:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I did absolutely nothing but read, walk and watch movies. It was bliss!

I also lived here on the rue Jacques-Callot which was the setting for Zola's novel 'Thérèse Raquin' under it's old name, le passage du Pont Neuf.

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 23:16 (twenty-one years ago)

and it was a block away from l'as du felafel which is famous for being lenny kravitz's favorite felafel. they have signs and photos to prove it

on rue des rosiers in the marais

― phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 23:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I can spend hours reading this

Phil, is that on Rue des Rosiers? My friend, Miles, and I used to go there on Sundays.

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 23:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry, didn't see your clarification. That place is great.

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 23:21 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, oh sunday afternoons were crazy. all the jewish teens would stand and pose and rev their motorbike/scooters.

They used to have a bench outside.

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 23:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I miss Chez Marianne on the Rue des Rosiers. That is where I discovered my great love for mezze.

― .adam (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 23:25 (twenty-one years ago)

i love how that street is jewish on the east side and gay on the west end. which was perfect for me seeing that most of my crushes are closeted jewboys.

― phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 23:27 (twenty-one years ago)

errrrrm...

― .adam (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 23:27 (twenty-one years ago)

le dictionnaire historique..that's what the homeless guys sell on the metro!!

i don't have any pictures of where i lived.

phil's use of "jewboys" bugs me.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 23:28 (twenty-one years ago)

errrrrm...

Stop it adam. You're married.

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 23:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Not meaning to be flip, but some of my Jewish friends call each other "Jewboy".

― .adam (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 23:30 (twenty-one years ago)

oh you're usually pretty easily bugged though. is it that offensive?

― phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 23:30 (twenty-one years ago)

That street name dictionary was b-day present a zillion years ago.

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 23:32 (twenty-one years ago)

From the Devil's Dictionary:

HEBREW, n. A male Jew, as distinguished from the Shebrew, an altogether superior creation.

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 23:33 (twenty-one years ago)

At least mine is.

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 23:34 (twenty-one years ago)

All of this is subjective.

― .adam (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 23:35 (twenty-one years ago)

In the Jardin des Plantes, if you walk about halfway down the length of the park and turn to the left, there's a park bench that's almost completely shaded by an overhanging branch. It's nice to sit there and daydream or watch schoolchildren on excursions.

― youn, Thursday, 6 January 2005 01:43 (twenty-one years ago)

But that was five years ago. I also like the Degas pastels at the Musee d'Orsay. The room they're in is all dark because they don't want the colors to fade.

― youn, Thursday, 6 January 2005 01:45 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm not easily bugged!

i just get the same vaguely queasy reaction to "i get crushes on jewboys" as i do to momus's "i really like the asian women."

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Thursday, 6 January 2005 03:05 (twenty-one years ago)

although i guess if curly black hair and six o'clock shadows turns you on, then there's no debate.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Thursday, 6 January 2005 03:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I spent three weeks here:

is that the mije? i spent a week there too

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 6 January 2005 03:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I was going to ask if there was a book about the street names of Paris!

phil: yeah, it is.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 6 January 2005 03:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Is that a nunnery, Rosemary?

― .adam (nordicskilla), Thursday, 6 January 2005 16:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, I did stay with mostly girls.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 6 January 2005 16:26 (twenty-one years ago)

That must have been tough.

― .adam (nordicskilla), Thursday, 6 January 2005 16:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I heart Paris in her video tape!

"Well, that's what she gets

Paris Hilton's jaw reportedly hit the floor when she crashed a party in Malibu on Saturday night and walked in to find guests huddled around a big-screen television watching a copy of her infamous sex tape."

two years pass...

look at all these guys talking about paris

anyone in paris, these days?

― RJG, Friday, 13 April 2007 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

I'm in Barcelona, not Paris, but has anyone seen "Paris, je t'aime" - the absolute chimera of a film starring and directed by everyone? It made me fall in love with Paris again.

― danzig, Friday, 13 April 2007 17:59 (nineteen years ago)

haven't seen it but heard it was not good

you live in barcelona?

― RJG, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:04 (nineteen years ago)

It's wildly uneven and at times quite disappointing - esp Gus Van Sant and Wes Craven's parts, as well as a few of the French ones, also the film makes it seem like every second person in Paris is American - but because the shorts kept coming at you like shots of adrenalin, and because there were some genuinely great and wacky moments, it was a heady movie experience.

And yes, for the time being, I'm living in Barcelona.

― danzig, Friday, 13 April 2007 18:32 (nineteen years ago)

eleven months pass...

going to paris in early april .... anyone out there? favorite restaurants? can't-miss sights on a short three-day trip? (the next four days we'll be in prague)

― dmr, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 03:34 (eighteen years ago)

It's been said before, but: catacombs.

― W4LTER, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 03:37 (eighteen years ago)

I'm in Paris.

Haha, you should meet my parents.

oh yeah Paris is supersympa.

― felicity, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 23:15 (eighteen years ago)

seven years pass...

Piggybacking a stay in Paris in late April as my wife has s work conference, it's going to be so great, I love this city.

Can anybody advise, I plan to visit/photograph as many of the lovely passages in central Paris as I can, but are they all worth visiting?
