CIAO·PARIS
One of 13 Paris types
The Adopted Parisian
You live here and you still look up.
You moved here and it never fully wore off. You take the street you have never walked, then the place you drag everyone to, then home, eventually.
What they actually do
- Takes the unfamiliar street on purpose
- Has one address you show everybody
- Still notices the light on the façade
The contradiction
People born here find your enthusiasm mildly suspicious.
A typical route
- A street you've never walked
- the place you drag everyone to
- home, eventually
Where they go
Three places from the carnet, picked by this type's two leanings: Explorer counts double, Culture once.
- 14e · Landmark · Over 15 €Catacombes de ParisGo down the 131 steps and follow the tunnels to the ossuary, where the bones of some six million Parisians are stacked into walls.
- 9e · Covered passage · FreePassage JouffroyCome out of the Passage des Panoramas, cross boulevard Montmartre and keep going: Jouffroy, then Verdeau. Three passages in a row.
- 3e · Museum · Under 15 €Musée des Arts et MétiersSave the old church for last. Foucault's pendulum swings in the nave, under the planes of Blériot and Breguet.
