It is the genius of Paris that it lives up to so many of its own clichés. Romantic, sophisticated, bohemian, glamorous, artistic, seductive, Paris is diverse and generous enough to satisfy them all. No city has been the subject of so many wistful ballads, or so many dreamy pinings. Half the world seems to think their lives would be immeasurably enriched if only they lived in a cramped studio, five flights up with a view of the Eiffel Tower. And half the world is probably right. Paris may be famous for its wealth of art treasures but the greatest work of art is the city itself. Drop in and indulge in a masterpiece.
