French style.

French style.

You hear a lot about French style. Well, it's true! There's something just naturally stylish about this place. It's not try-hard, it's just easy and natural; even when people are dressed casually, they somehow carry it off with dash and flair. My characters are always really impressed by that—as I am, actually! It's not just about fashion, either; it's just the way people present things—on plates in restaurants, on displays in shop windows, and in the architecture, which is graceful and pleasing to the eye. Even the Seine seems to flow with style! It's so much fun too renewing with all the wonderful big sights that I've seen before but that never seem to pall—like the Eiffel Tower, or the Tuileries Gardens, the amazing, amazing artworks in the Louvre and the Musee d'Orsay(which happens to be my favourite!) But it's also fun discovering unexpected, much less well known things, like the extraordinary Police Museum, with its collection of original documents of famous crimes, like the affair of the Diamond Necklace; or the touchingly poetic street art in Belleville, or the Museum of Magic and Automata just down from our place, with its collections of weird mechanical dolls. Paris simply has something for every one!
