You’re familiar? you lucky man

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. .

I noticed you missed out the Saint-Germainois, cos we're the best, right? right ? :p

I mean if you exclude the Vésigondins…

I was going to make a smart remark but we're allies, basically the same

Except we’re all in bed by 9

yeah true dat

You’re very very special x

that's lovely, my daughter will be happy :)

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?

This looks like fun .. www.the-tls.com/world/travel...

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.
