Considering she moved back to the UK when she was 5, I think you are overstating that particular influence. Funfact: I know a bilingual pa that worked with her parents on ave Bugeaud wayback in 1992.

The tribes of intra and extramuros Paris are fascinating subjects. From the squatters of the eastern banlieues through to the multi-millionaires of ave Foch, the raggamuffins of Seine Saint-Denis to the prissy from Issy ... if I’m not careful I’ll start quoting Rutger Hauer. .

Would love to read a 101 / beginners' guide to Parisian neighbourhoods. Any suggestions? Very occasional, curious visitor. Recently stayed near Place d'Italie. Thoughts on 13eme?

The beating heart of Paris. I am no longer young, you have to have a very good reason to be there apart Imax and a chinese restaurant. No book recommendations, I saw it irl at ground level on foot, on bike and by car. Les Olympiades (the film) is a good entrée. Bonne découverte!

Going to be staying in the 13ème for a couple of nights next month so will give that a watch in preparation, thanks!

The new Ikea is another reason.

Thanks. As a not-heaving-with-people base for us it was perfect. Some interesting bits & bobs, too. Will look up Les Olympiades.
