travelblog: Paris

Paris doesnt change, its as dirty, noisy and wonderful as it ever was. Even during the seige of Paris during the Franco Prussian war the joy de vive (sp) was present right up to when the Zoo shot all the animals for food. Its unusual though, the French being notoriously un-sentimental about animals. This is one of the few places the idle phrase "Im so hungry I could eat a horse." could be taken to its uncomfortable conclusion.

Arrived about an hour ago, just off for a beer and then food. Not Cheval though!

Excellent stuff! I liked Paris when we were there a few years ago. Need to go back some time.
