CIAO·PARIS
One of 13 Paris types
The Just-Visiting Romantic
A long list and a short stay.
You are here for a few days and you intend to use them. The list is long, the order is negotiable, and you will walk further than you meant to.
What they actually do
- Builds a list and then ignores the order
- Walks until the shoes give up
- Eats standing up to save time
The contradiction
You walk twenty kilometres a day and call it a holiday.
A typical route
- Everything on your list, in the order the métro allows
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.
Who they get on with
Two of them in one battle: 80% on average.
Averaged over every way the quiz can produce both types, scored exactly as a real battle is.
