🌍 About Paris, France

Central Paris looks so uniform because Baron Haussmann rebuilt it in the 1850s–70s to a strict code: cream limestone façades, wrought-iron balconies, grey zinc rooftops. The Marais is the exception — a tangle of medieval lanes that escaped the demolition, now the old Jewish quarter, with the city's best falafel along Rue des Rosiers. Skip the overpriced café crème near the Eiffel Tower; a jambon-beurre — ham and butter on a fresh baguette — is the genuine Parisian lunch and costs a few euros. Come May–June or September–October for mild weather, thinner crowds, and cheaper fares. Avoid August, when many Parisians leave and a lot of neighbourhood bistros shut for the whole month. Winter is grey but quiet and the fares drop.
