Paris

All shop signs flickering, from the Champs-Elysées, the garish neon lights of Pigalle, the Concorde and even its Tour Eiffel : Paris shines - cut in two by the silver ribbon of the river Seine. The river is a silent frontier between the posh rive droite (right bank) and the more popular rive gauche (left bank). Paris has its extremes, its depths and its heights. But the true breath of Paris is the Parisian. Always the avant-gardiste, a fashion lover, he creates new trends - intellectual Paris, happening Paris, popular Paris... The Paris of a thousand faces, changing with every different eye which regards it.
