Of all the cities of the world, perhaps none is so ingrained in the collective imagination as Paris. There is something about the place that we all feel and understand, even before we set foot in its quartiers. Maybe we all read the same picture books, or saw the same movies when we were children; maybe it’s those iconic images from Renoir, Monet, and Doisneau that grace the walls of college girls’ dorm rooms around the world. Maybe it was from reading Hemingway and Fitzgerald and Henry Miller…whatever the cause, Paris is a place that has already filled our minds before we ever even arrive, and a place that we all seem to want to hold on to after we leave. “We’ll always have Paris,” “wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you”…how many artists and writers have expressed this notion,that those who have visited and loved the City of Light carry a piece of her wherever they go?
