Our Paris Trip - a podcast by Taste of Prague Food Tours

It's official. We love Paris. But it took us a while and a few visits to
get there, and we did have a rocky relationship with Paris: on one hand, it
is clearly one of the most beautiful cities anywhere. On the other hand, we
always had some kind of experience in Paris that made us less appreciative
of its beauty. Like getting our iPhone grabbed from your hand on the
street, followed by a running chase, followed by a police chase, for
instance. (The police chase was actually kinda cool.) But we have kept
coming back and always gave the city of lights another chance. 

Coming from Prague, the sheer size of Paris can get overwhelming: a single
week is not enough to even begin to understand how big the city is and how
different the districts are. Throughout our visits, we have noticed a
shift. At the beginning, we saw parallels between Paris and Vienna:
the Belle Epoque charm, the monumental palaces and so on. During our later
visits, and as we gravitated towards Marais as our district of choice, we
have started to see similarities to Berlin: bright New Balance sneakers,
fixie bikes, baristas that look like ZZ Top roadies and Australian
university drop-outs. Yes, Paris has turned hipster. And we kinda like
that.
