...speak with other people who come from other countries like Spain, Italy or England. In addition, Paris defends its name as la ville de l’amour (the city of love). When you want to demonstrate your love towards your girl, then you run off with her in le Sacre Coeur. There, you must only give her a rose during a sunrise.
