Second time in Paris definitely wasn't so special as the first time when everything was brand new and surprising.

French people are still very polite and friendly, French woman are still very charm and with a unique female style, homeless people increased but they still spend their time sitting at some bench in random streets and the bagette is still the most popular food within people from Paris.

It is like a city frozen in time, it gives a sensation of a travel to the past. Because it is so filled with history from medieval times, past decades, past centuries, bohemians, French revolution, liberty, equality, fraternity, painting, sculpture, monuments to remember about wars, glory, history and culture in every step you take in every corner of the so called 'city of lights'.

Cinemas are spread all over town making French people one of those that most watch movies in the world.

The glory from the past very live at the Chateau de Versailles with it's enormous gardens, shinny palace and impressive channel.

 

Old cars gathering at the Concorde square in a Sunday morning to make nostalgics very happy.

Paris is still there, still the same after 2 years, somethings did changed, but the essence is there... still. Still the same lovely and beautiful city.

About people I met. There is a French restaurant called La Table de Marquis, I do recommend it. Location: 3, rue Beccaria - 75012 Paris. It is between stations Gare de Lyon and Reuilly Diderot. You find rue Beccaria walking by Boulevard Diderot.

It is one small and cosy Parisian restaurant far from any tourist crowd and the kind of place only locals know. It is run by a very nice and young couple, they are the special people of this chapter. The wife take the orders, delivers the food and keep things running, the husband is the man in charge of the kitchen. The food is good, the price is fare (like most restaurants in Paris lunch is much cheaper than dinner) and the experience to eat in something local, not tourist or mass produced food, is a great experience.

The picture? I forgot the camera at the hotel, so maybe on my next time at Paris.
