It is ideally located to explore the varied neighbourhoods of Paris. The Canal St Martin with its locks and footbridges, was built by order of Napoleon I to supply Paris with water. This is one of the oldest parts of Paris well known in black & white films and postcards of yesterday. After some years in the shadows the area has made a real comeback as one of Paris’ most up and coming areas. It has fast become a ‘bobo’ (bohemian-bourgeois) neighbourhood thanks to the trendy, alternative cafes, bars, restaurants and boutiques which line Canal Saint Martin. Made famous by the film ‘Le Fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulin’, it’s a wonderful spot during the summer, where one can laze by the canal with friends and watch the ‘très cool’ Parisians stroll by. It’s also closed off to traffic at the weekends - perfect for joggers and cyclists! The monument of a woman which stands at Place de la Republique was commissioned in the late 19th century as a symbol to the glory of the French Republique. Surrounding her are the virtues which are the backbone of French society: Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité - Liberty, Equality, and Brotherhood. You are just a short walk to the Centre Pompidou, the Bastille and the Marais. Other recommended sites in this area include: Chez Prune - a great bar/restaurant for ‘bobo’ spotting Jardin Villemin - a grassed park off Canal Saint Martin, great for sun bathing and picnicking Passage Brady - a passage to India, full of exotic restaurants, barbers and Indian material shops Enjoy! 1 Table of contents Page 3.

  • Highlights of a Fascinating City
    PARIS HIGHLIGHTS OF A FASCINATING C ITY “Paris is always that monstrous marvel, that amazing assem- blage of activities, of schemes, of thoughts; the city of a hundred thousand tales, the head of the universe.” Balzac’s description is as apt today as it was when he penned it. The city has featured in many songs, it is the atmospheric setting for countless films and novels and the focal point of the French chanson, and for many it will always be the “city of love”. And often it’s love at first sight. Whether you’re sipping a café crème or a glass of wine in a street café in the lively Quartier Latin, taking in the breathtaking pano- ramic view across the city from Sacré-Coeur, enjoying a romantic boat trip on the Seine, taking a relaxed stroll through the Jardin du Luxembourg or appreciating great works of art in the muse- ums – few will be able to resist the charm of the French capital. THE PARIS BOOK invites you on a fascinating journey around the city, revealing its many different facets in superb colour photo- graphs and informative texts. Fold-out panoramic photographs present spectacular views of this metropolis, a major stronghold of culture, intellect and savoir-vivre that has always attracted many artists and scholars, adventurers and those with a zest for life. Page after page, readers will discover new views of the high- lights of the city, which Hemingway called “a moveable feast”.

    Paris i Børnehøjde! !Rejsetips til storbyferie for forældre og børn ! af journalist Aase Nørrung © ! Umiddelbart fremstår Paris ikke som en børnevenlig by, med masser af trapper, høje kantsten og parkerede biler, der holder tæt langs fortovskanten og dækker for udsynet. Og går man rundt i byen, virker fraværet af børn i gadebilledet da også ret påfaldende. Er Paris udråbt Bl børnefrit område? Eller er de bare gemt af vejen, så de voksne kan have byen for sig selv? Nej, selvfølgelig er Paris ikke forbudt for børn.

  • PARIS Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide
    PARIS Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Paris | 2019 0 Regarded as the fashion capital of the world, Paris is the retail, administrative and economic capital of France, accounting for near 20% of the French population and 30% of national GDP. Paris is one of the top global cities for tourists, offering many cultural pursuits for visitors. One of Paris’s main growth factors is new luxury hotel openings or re-openings and visitors from new developing countries, which are fuelling the luxury sector. This is shown by certain significant openings and department stores moving up-market. Other recent movements have accentuated the shift upmarket of areas in the Right Bank around Rue Saint-Honoré (40% of openings in 2018), rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, and Place Vendôme after the reopening of Louis Vuitton’s flagship in 2017. The Golden Triangle is back on the luxury market with some recent and upcoming openings on the Champs-Elysées and Avenue Montaigne. The accessible-luxury market segment is reaching maturity, and the largest French proponents have expanded abroad to find new growth markets. Other retailers such as Claudie Pierlot and The Kooples have grown opportunistically by consolidating their positions in Paris. Sustained demand from international retailers also reflects the current size of leading mass-market retailers including Primark, Uniqlo, Zara brands or H&M. In the food and beverage sector, a few high-end specialised retailers have enlivened markets in Paris, since Lafayette Gourmet has reopened on boulevard Haussmann, La Grande Épicerie in rue de Passy replacing Franck & Fils department store, and more recently the new concept Eataly in Le Marais.
