CIAO·PARIS
One of 13 Paris types
The Left-Bank Romantic
Luxembourg, an old cinema, a glass on Buci.
Your Paris is mostly the sixth. A garden, a cinema with red seats, a glass of wine on a terrace that has not changed in thirty years.
What they actually do
- Walks the Luxembourg on the way somewhere else
- Picks the film by the cinema showing it
- Ends on a terrace on Rue de Buci
The contradiction
You call anything past Châtelet “the other side”, and it is not a compliment.
A typical route
- Jardin du Luxembourg
- old cinema
- wine on Rue de Buci
Where they go
Three places from the carnet, picked by this type's two leanings: Culture counts double, Local once.
