Paris really did meet my expectations.. I love this town :)

Especially Montmarte... I've been seriously waiting SO long to see Montmarte! I used to read everything about Montmarte.. and the life there many years ago. Like, the life at Moulin Rouge - with La goulou and Jane avril, the famous dancers at moulin rouge that was a favored motive of artists such as Thoulose Lautrec. Picassos early works were done in Montmarte, were he lived, and meet his lover Fernande here.

Paris has sacre cour and montmarte- hence it rocks..

Nike from samotrake, in louvre.. I LOVE this sculpture..

Well, I was too old to hope for a time travelling machine at the time I was overly facinated with Montmarte and the bohemians.. But, one can always try to imagine the atmosphere here at that time :)

Another aspect of Paris thats magical for me , is that the book by Victor Hugo and famous musical - Les Miserables took place in larger parts in Paris.. As im sure some know.. Eponine is one of the characters in Les miserables. She has a tragic story, so sad.. but so touching! I saw les mis when i was like 8.. and think i tortured my family by singing songs from les mis untill i was in my teens LOL (I got so many photos of me as a kid dressed out as eponine, cosette, fantine.. lol.. >_<). A couple of years ago, my uncle was playing the violin in Les mis... and I was able to meet alain boubil and jean michel schonberg who are producers of Les miserables the musical.

But, like I said.. Ive never experienced this stereotypical way of cliche flirting before.. Wich was kind of funny. Seeing as I thought it was just a myth.. or just a rumour lol. But they will seriously pull out chairs for you, and put hankerchiefs over small poodles of waters, and on benches lol.. Untill you pretend you got a boyfriend, then they suddenly have to go home :P

Anyway, i seriously need to go back here someday.. No doubt :D
