Did You Know?
Paname is Paris' nickname in slang. It may derive from the name of Panamá (like the city) meaning enormous. In slang Parisians are also called Parigots by people outside of the city, but it's considered at least pejorative, if not an insult, so use it carefully.
Orientation:
The River Seine breaks the city into the Rive Droite (Right Bank) north of the river and the Rive Gauche (Left Bank) south of the river. Paris is only 6 by 7 miles/10 by 11 kilometers, which means you can walk across the capital in less than two hours.2008-08-02T07:29:22.000
