Not for Parents quotes
“imagine a building turned inside out - where all the pipes, wires, and colourful metal bits are stuck on the outside instead of hidden away”
“instead of grand old stone columns, you get bright red and blue tubes zigzagging all over the place - and you can ride an escalator up the outside!”
“its supposed to be a museum - but looks more like a giant factory mixed with a spaceship”
“some people hated it when it opened. Others thought it was perfect for a topsy-turvy world where nothing is quite what you expect”
Neither here nor there quotes
“The Gare du Nord was a madhouse, swarming with people who all seemed to know where they were going while I stood like a confused idiot”
“the waiter looked at me as if I were a bug on his shoe, something distasteful that had just crawled into his line of vision”
“Paris is a beautiful city, no question, but there’s something about it - the aloofness, the formality - that keeps me at arm’s length.”
“I wandered for hours, hungry and tired, and still couldn’t find anywhere that would serve me a sandwich. It was like the whole city was conspiring against lunch”
Visiting Paris quotes
“its just so romantic and beautiful”
“I thought id be mugged or something”
“it was a bit of a culture shock, to be honest - like, the way people dress, speak, even how they walk”
“you’re like in this whole different world where everything so stylish and everyone just knows how to be cool.”
Rick Steeve’s walking tour of the Louvre quotes
“welcome to the Louvre - one of the most famous and magnificent museums in the world, home to treasures from nearly every civilisation”
“lets begin with the pyramid - a striking glass and steel structure that breaks the classical look of the palace and gives the Louvre its modern identity”
“notice how the natural light streams through the glass, casting patterns on the stone - a perfect harmony of ancient and modern design”
“were entering a former royal palace - once home to kings and now open to the public, a place, where everyday people walk the halls of history”
Paris city guide quotes
“Paris has a timeless familiarity for first-time and frequent visitors, with its instantly recognisable architectural icons, along with exquisite cuisine, chic boutiques and priceless artistic treasures”
“the wrought-iron spire of the Eiffel Tower piercing the clouds, the broad arc de triumphs guarding the glamorous champs-elysee…”
“yet Paris’ greatest asset is its people: the stylish, the cultured, the eccentric, and the everyday”
“with an insatiable appetite for life, Paris celebrates the arts, food, fashion, and the simple pleasures.”
