Salut, ça va?
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 get around in Paris.

| The subway network | Le métro |
| The city centre or CBD | Le centre ville |
| Greater Paris suburbs | La banlieu Parisienne |
| The districts (in Paris only) | Les arrondissements |
| City train networks | Le RER |
| The fare | Le tarif |
| The right bank of the Seine | La rive droite |
| The left bank of the Seine | La rive gauche |
Imagine wandering through one of Paris’ bustling “marchés aux puces”, street markets and finding originals of that bygone era! The most famous street markets are north of the city center, beyond Montmartre where many 19th and 20th century artists settled and where some are even buried.
In the next newsletter we look at French food, something that is very dear to the heart of every French person!
À très bientôt!
