Paris is the city of romance par excellence! Many such expressions made their way into accepted English conversation with the influence of artists and musicians, such as Cole Porter in the early 1900’s. Cole Porter’s love of Paris inspired many great songs, falling under the spell of the River Seine, of the “Boulevards”, the avenues, and enchanted by Paris’s Latin Quarter.


Here are some key words to help you find your way around in Paris.
