Paris is a place for those who enjoy every little thing in life, a city for bon vivants, gourmands and romantics. Wine and tasty food at a picturesque restaurant, an evening stroll hand in hand with your beloved one across any of River Seine's bridges, maybe the oldest one: Pont Neuf. To the right you'll be able to admire the renowned background scenery of the Eiffel Tower and to the left you’ll be impressed by the overwhelming facade of Notre Dame. Just a bit away you have the unique bookstore Shakespeare & Co, where celebrities like Ernest Hemingway or James Joyce found a safe haven.
Paris is history, writers, artists and incensed debates in old distinguished cafés, but also a hectic and multicultural world metropolis of 9 million souls. Future and past meet here. Paris lives really up to its fame as the obvious place for a culture romantic. You’ve got plenty of possibilities to follow the steps of notable people of the caliber of Pablo Picasso, Jim Morrison or Oscar Wilde.
In this series of street signs from the capital of France we’ve picked some very well-known avenues, boulevards and alleys but also other streets maybe not so “popular” but that have attracted our attention for some reason.
Paris, the city of bridges, a place to fall in love with.
