Maria Christina Marchi on the enduring appeal of Paris
Paris seems to be the most sought after of all destinations. We’ve already had two love letters feature, alongside a guide to backpacking around the capital and other articles. But why is it that the French capital has the capacity of penetrating our hearts, marking our memories with the most vivid of images? Is it its artistic allure? The fact that artists have flocked to its darkest alleyways in hopes of producing the masterpiece of the century, may it be in literature, painting or theatre? Or is it the interweaving of simply beautiful and intriguingly complex streets, people and monuments?
Or is is simply because Paris is Europe’s New York, where every single one of your dreams simply comes true?
