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.

Well if you've been to cities but you've had enoughHave you been to Paris, France?And if you doubt that Paris was made for loveGive Paris one more chanceThe home of Piaf and ChevalierMust have done something right to get passion this wayIf you don't think Paris was made for loveGive 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 loveMaybe your heart needs a telegram from up aboveIf you don't think Paris was made for loveWell give Paris one more chance
Well now there's some things I don't like and some things I doBut give Paris one more chanceI can see why Paris would be ugly for youBut give Paris one more chanceThe home of Piaf and Trennet tooMust have done something rightMust have something for youIf you don't think Paris was made for loveGive 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 loveMaybe your heart needs a telegram from up aboveIf you don't think Paris was made for loveGive Paris one more chance
Let's wrap it up..
Well if you've been to cities but you've had enoughHave you been to Paris, France?And if you doubt that Paris was made for loveGive Paris one more chanceThe home of Piaf and Charles AznavourMust have done something rightAnd will do something moreIf you don't think Paris was made for loveGive Paris one more chanceAlrightGive Paris one more chance
