One thing I enjoy about Paris....is how much people love this city. Not only is this the biggest tourist destination in the world, but it is overflowing with Parisians who feel that their city is the greatest. I have heard countless Parisians refer to their city as the most beautiful city in the world. Today, my friend says, "I was born in this city, I will live my whole life in this city, and I will die in this city." I find this so foreign to me...I have no idea where I will live in ten years, definitely not Atlanta. It would be strange knowing that you, your family, and all of your friends will live in the same city for your entire life. But I think this says a lot about Paris and how great of a city it is. Paris is the city of love and a city that people fall in love with. It has its look, its smell, its tastes, its sights, its feel, heart and possibly a soul. The French love their country and they love their lives. Throughout history, it seems that the French have had one principle guiding their foreign affairs...protect their beautiful city! For better or worse, it worked and the result is one of a kind.
