City of light, site of majestic panoramas and showy store windows; unsightly city, invisible city—Paris somehow manages to do it all. From alleys that shelter the world’s best bistros to broad avenues flaunting the highest of haute couture, from the old stone of Notre Dame’s gargoyles to the futuristic motions of the Parc de la Villette, from the relics of the first millennium to the celebration of the second, Paris presents itself as both a harbor of tradition and a place of impulse. You can’t conquer Paris, old or new, in one week or in thirty years—you can get acquainted in a day, though, and in a week, you may find you’re old friends.
