Culture

French culture is synonymous with Paris, the centre of fashion, art, and architecture. Parisians embrace style and sophistication, cultivation of the mind, and acceptable ways of behaving. Life outside the ‘City of Life’ can be very different, and our varied experiences reflect as much of this as possible. We cover the churches, the galleries, and the concerts that we visit and write about some of the quirky French values that the French hold dear.

Saint-Germain l’Auxerrois

Saint-Germain l’Auxerrois

ByRicki January 7, 2023January 7, 2023

Paris is a city of surprises. Like all surprises, they present when you least expect them. They respect neither place nor time. Saint-Germain l’Auxerrois was one such experience hard to forget.

Saint-Étienne du Mont and Midnight in Paris

Saint-Étienne du Mont and Midnight in Paris

ByRicki December 15, 2022January 7, 2023

Sit down on the north steps of Saint-Étienne du Mont at midnight, wait for the chime of the bells, and dream of a Paris long-gone. Perhaps, a 1920 Peugeot Landaule will drive by and whisk you away to a lively party at a timeless location in the City of Light.
