I heart Paris in the Springtime

Mancunians?

i lived there for six months, and didnt speak much french. it was nice to have native english speakers around

Yes, like my forebears.

'She's not Welsh, is she?"

phil-two,

I did excatly the opposite and learned Froggish.

Place d'Italie is full of chinks/gooks/good markets and restaurants. I miss the cheap little Vietnamese places in Paris. :(

American tourists but only by a small fraction, though the better kind of British tourist is lovely. When I missed speaking English, I hung out with the Oirish 'cause they weren't as stupid and arrogant as the Americans nor as spiteful and unhappy as the English.

anyway

Well if you've been to cities but you've had enough
Have you been to Paris, France?
And if you doubt that Paris was made for love
Give Paris one more chance
The home of Piaf and Chevalier
Must have done something right to get passion this way
If you don't think Paris was made for love
Give Paris one more chance

Well now I'm calling it arrogant, calling it cruel
(Give Paris one more chance)
And also trop civilisé et mon dieu, c'est trop cool**
(Give Paris one more chance)
But if you don't think Paris was made for love
Maybe your heart needs a telegram from up above
If you don't think Paris was made for love
Well give Paris one more chance

Well now there's some things I don't like and some things I do
But give Paris one more chance
I can see why Paris would be ugly for you
But give Paris one more chance
The home of Piaf and Trennet too
Must have done something right
Must have something for you
If you don't think Paris was made for love
Give Paris one more chance

Now hear the boys singing Beegees songs under the skies
(Give Paris one more chance)
And on the steps of Montmartre they harmonise
(Give Paris one more chance)
Because if you don't think Paris was made for love
Maybe your heart needs a telegram from up above
If you don't think Paris was made for love
Give Paris one more chance

Let's wrap it up..

Well if you've been to cities but you've had enough
Have you been to Paris, France?
And if you doubt that Paris was made for love
Give Paris one more chance
The home of Piaf and Charles Aznavour
Must have done something right
And will do something more
If you don't think Paris was made for love
Give Paris one more chance
Alright
Give Paris one more chance

not cold, then?

Ma belle in the Luxembourg.

This got lost above.

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.

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

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

They used to have a bench outside.

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

phil's use of "jewboys" bugs me.

Which is to say: it doesn’t look burned.

lol yes i shd probably have double-checked as i already know i am a massive nitwit when it comes to identifying trees (lol my dad was a professional botanist, i just left such tasks to him) and i even very briefly paused to think "are those oaks? versailles oaks it says here legit i guess" *MASH SUBMIT BUTTON*

the long-game prepping of trees for use in buildings *is* something (some) architects are well aware of so it's not entirely implausible
