Romantic Paris: five tips

One of the greatest cliches of the West, is the identification of Paris with the city of love. The beautiful neo-Gothic tomb of the tragic and calamitous Heloise and Abelard, finally together as if to prove that love, in fact, is stronger than death, in the mythical Père Lachaise cemetery (http://www.pere-lachaise.com /) is perhaps, not the worst possible starting points for a romantic alternative route through the city. At the end of the day, despite being gradually eclipsed over time, because they did not fit with the ideal of the courtly love, imposed with irresistible force through the literature in the years immediately following the death of both (second half of the twelfth century), it was one of the greatest love stories of the Middle Ages in the West and resulted in not only an extraordinary set of goliards songs, but also one of the greatest epistolary correspondence lovemaking of all time. From there you can take the subway, always considered a place of astonishing and haphazard amorous encounters, governed by the laws of underworld, extensive and brilliantly documented by music, literature and film, to go to the Boulevard St-Germain and look closely, attached to the rue de Buci, the small attic that Theodore de Banville furnished to serve as housing for the fugitive and adolescent Rimbaud, as well as his meeting place with Paul Verlaine, a traditional couple of the decadent literature, determined, at least the first of them, to declare that, true life is absent and the consequent need to reinvent love. This same idea of the reinvention of love, might lead us to walk from there...

New Year’s Eve look in Paris

Each culture has a different approach to New Year´s Eve parties; there´s the Chinese New Year and the Jewish New Year for example, which are celebrations that have nothing to do with the typical Western calendar which closes on the 31st of December. Around the world there´ll be celebrations. What makes a New Year´s party different? Well, it depends on the attitude that you have in the party, the action that you´re looking for, the ideal place and the appropriate people to have a great time. We have the belief that the change of year is a new rising, a new chance to start a better life, with a positive attitude, full of plans and resolutions. Generally, people make new year´s resolutions where some plans are put on the table. The most typical ones, which you´ll definitely see around the social networks this year like always are, among others, quit smoking, lose weight, change attitude, finding true love, visiting the family, finding a job, changing the job, and a very long etcetera. Without doubt, with the economical recession on top of us, wishing for a better job and, especially, that there are jobs, is one of the wishes which everyone aspires to. If your destination this NYE is Paris, there´s nothing better than celebrating the arrival of 2012 with the most positive energies and with a great look for the new year. They say, for example, that image has a lot to do with your state of mind and, of course, it brings good and better vibes. Maybe there´s some truth in that, and even if we don´t have...
