The first glimpse of any city is beautiful. This is my third visit to Paris.First in 2004,then in 2013 and now in 2022.However, this time since I was coming from the US, Paris looked comparatively dry.There was very less greenery in comparison to Connecticut and other places in the US. May be I will have to travel in the outskirts to see some greenery. It really pleased my heart to see that even our airports at Delhi and Hyderabad looked much better and ahead of Paris airport. As our taxi moved to the downtown hotel, buildings with a familiar kind of architecture were seen in plenty.In 2013, we had stayed in Paris for more than ten days and the other two months were spent some 150 miles away in the University of Arras. It was very difficult to get Indian food in Arras but here in Paris there was no issue. The familiar sight of people sitting out on a Sunday morning having their breakfast in the sun outside the restaurant was very nostalgic. French people are very fond of going to a restaurant or Cafe. One may sit inside at the bar (au bar) or outside ( en terrasse).One can spend hours talking to friends sipping wine or drinking Coffee and eating tid bits.
