Places I especially like to go to
One of the things I prefer in Paris is that it is a cosmopolite city. You can indeed find different foreign neighbourhood like the Asian one , the Indian one or the African one. But the neighbourhood are not only influenced by countries but also by some French regions are even by religion. It’s really pleasant and disorientating to stroll...
