How to be Parisian

Rue d' Annonciation in Passy





















Eat fresh food

Outside if you can,

Walk everywhere,

Mind you manners,

Ride the Metro

When you must,

Or a scooter, or a bicycle,

Have a glass of wine with lunch,

A whole bottle with dinner,

Expect the exceptional,

Only smile when it's real,

Love friends like family,

Revere art and artists,

Work four days a week,

Make August a holiday,

Live a life of the mind,

Revel in the senses,

And do it all with style.
