The "Left Bank". This was the area of the city that Hemmingway and other noted writers haunted. Les Deux Maggots is just around the corner in this photo.
I can’t believe that we’ve lived in Europe for almost a year and have only recently taken the high speed train down to Paris. After 4 nights in the heart of the French capital, I can understand the allure and energy that has drawn so many artists, writers, intellectuals, and free thinkers here to sit with like-minded compatriots in a sidewalk café on a quiet square tucked into an hopelessly picturesque quarter of the city.
While I didn’t enjoy the standard tourist sites (I rarely do), I found exploring the less tour-bus trammeled areas of Paris fascinating and beautiful. The following pictures are from our visit. Hope you enjoy!
