Born and raised in Paris, lived there all my life, and never been in that street nor did i know about it either.
But that’s not so surprising. Local people usually don’t explore as much as tourists. They have their daily routines and eventually go to places for a reason. I actually often ask a non french friend of mine to bring me to new places because she still kept that explorer mentality. She knows Paris better than i do in some ways.
- etiennemarcel 8y agoI think it's sad... I've lived in Paris for the last 15 years and have explored a lot of the city (but still have a lot to see). I remember a colleague, born and raised in the western suburbs, who saw the Opera for the first time the other day when he had to walk to the office because the metro from Saint-Lazare was out of order.
- bsaul 8y agosuburb vs Paris is also something else. I had the exact same experience two times: once with the opera , and another with montmartre’s sacré coeur ( she didn’t even know what that was, she just told me « that’s nice, what is it ? »). I was in a bit of a shock.
