WHY IS PARIS THE CITY OF LOVE AND ROMANCE?

  • Time: Thursday, 30 November 2023

Paris and romance, they go together like champagne and oysters, coffee and croissants, that\'s why beloved couples make a pilgrimage to the French capital every year on Valentine\'s Day or go on honey moon in the Ville Lumière. But why is Paris the \"city of love\" and does it really deserve the title?


\"e6ac7f0bcae9638a7ed00692a494d7cc\"What makes the French capital, more than any other city in the world, considered THE romantic city par excellence and THE destination par excellence for Valentine\'s Day getaways and newlyweds.

The beauty of Paris

With the great central Paris designed by Baron Georges Haussman, as well as the charming cobbled streets of Montmartre and the Marais, it is no wonder that Paris is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

A walk through the city hand in hand is certainly more romantic than a ride on a bus or metro, and the small size of Paris and its wide streets make it an ideal place to stroll around and admire the scenery. There is always something beautiful around the next corner.

 

 

The cinema, ambassador of the city\"Midnight-in-Paris-2011-Woody-Allen-04\"

Over the years, many films such as \"French Kiss\", \"Amélie\" and \"Minuit à Paris\" have incorporated a certain idea of the French capital that is difficult to shake. Not to mention Woody Allen and his romantic betting show.

\"love

 

 

The romantic aspect is a cultural and artistic heritage.

Because it is considered a romantic city, and many artists have portrayed it as a city where love is king.The romantic aspect is a cultural and artistic heritage, with the romantic current in literature (Rousseau, Hugo, Mme de Staël, Musset, Chateaubriand...). It is also tributes in music in the repertoires of Charles Trenet, Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Joe Dassin that have contributed to the popularity of this expression. Paris is an open-air museum-city, which offers many activities commonly considered as \"romantic\": walks along the Seine, strolls in parks and gardens, visits to museums, cruises on flyboats, the many restaurants celebrating French gastronomy...

 

 

The reputation of Parisians, romantics and flirts?

The French are considered to be romantic Latins. Being the \"lovecapital, foreign tourists will therefore often associate Paris with the fact that it symbolizes the whole of France and therefore the city of lovers. Moreover, throughout the world, the French have indeed the reputation of being effective seducers. The French language, itself, is often considered one of the most beautiful and therefore seductive by foreigners. True or false, this first factor could explain the influence of Paris as \"the most romantic city in the world\".

The capital of idyllic and romantic photos on Instagram

It is therefore the cliché of a postcard famous for its monuments (Eiffel Tower, Sacré-Coeur, Pont des Arts, Louvre, etc) and its particular light that make it an ideal setting for all romantic tourists who wish to take idyllic photos on Instagram ;)

Romantic places on every corner

\"loveBut Paris is above all romantic places everywhere! Unusual or famous, the city abounds with places, good deals, activities to do as lovers to spend delicious moments. There is something for everyone. Because of its history, its fame and its landscapes, Paris shines among the European capitals. The richness of its places, the beauty of its landscapes, the fact that one can believe oneself in a romantic comedy at any moment give it that special aspect. Paris therefore seems to deserve its title of \"the most romantic city in the world\".

JEWELLERY: THE STYLE OF PARISIAN WOMEN

  • Time: Tuesday, 26 July 2022

While in other cultures “over accessorizing” is seen simply as a demonstration of femininity, in Paris it’s considered good form not to overdo it for fear of looking tasteless. That might seem a paradoxical attitude, but it’s based on the Parisian woman’s mentality of “less is more.” Basically, you can spoil a look by trying to overdo it, and that applies to jewelry, makeup, accessories, and plastic surgery. So…

PARISIAN WOMEN AND AGING WELL

  • Time: Thursday, 07 December 2023

\"Age is only a number! \", that\'s what magazines, blogs, coaches tell you... But how do you do it when you feel the first signs of aging, the body getting tired, the first wrinkles settling in......?  In the imagination of most Parisian women, aging well is a difficult challenge to meet. Physical state is more important than mental or moral state when they think about ageing.


For 77% of French people, \"bien vieillillir\" is considered as a marketing term because in reality, we age as best we can. Nevertheless, for 50% ageing well means being healthy, for 44% it means cultivating a certain state of mind, for 28% enjoying life and the present moment and for 31% being active (activities, travel, sport...). Finally, for 25% of them, it is above all about having a social life and being surrounded. 

Okay, it\'s clear, aging well means above all aging in good health, so medical checks and follow-ups, etc. And then... for the majority of Parisian women interviewed, aging well means knowing how to enjoy the present moment, being happy and fulfilled and anticipating. And take care of your diet, sleep, exercise, be active...

THE FOOD

Food is our first drug. It is therefore important to adapt what we eat and drink to who we are, to our constitution but also to the season, climate, time of day... \"7100-nathalie

Our lifestyle and our diet are very often a source of imbalance and acidity and even oxidation of our body. Let us limit the consumption of refined products, ready-to-eat meals and reconnect with simpler, more natural food. Let\'s try to focus on cereals such as rice (rather than foods that have been processed such as pasta or bread), vegetables and fruit (rather than frozen or canned foods). It is up to us to select the foods you choose carefully to give your body the least reason to age prematurely.

For information... White wine is much more acidifying than red wine, cheese is also acidifying, exciting products like coffee, tea (even green), also...

The Mediterranean diet, where fresh food is selected, olive oil is used daily, vegetables are cooked, is often rightly cited as an example.

SKIN

The best anti-aging care is certainly the attention you will pay to yourself. Every day, whether it\'s morning or evening, give yourself some time in your bathroom. The first step in restoring a radiant face is probably the skin cleansing step. Masks to cleanse or regenerate the fragile skin of the face can eliminate excess sebum, small impurities or restore a \"pelle-biofotonica-gel-naturali-lampada-27060\"radiant complexion. 

Anyway, one golden rule: never go to bed with makeup! Make sure to remove make-up from the face with a milk and then with a lotion, and then moisturize the skin well (morning and evening). Self-massages on the face are very effective on a daily basis to restore elasticity, suppleness and radiance to your complexion. You can also use small soft plastic suction cups to smooth and drain and the face: on wrinkles, between the eyes and on the forehead, around the mouth, always pulling outwards and ideally to the back of the ears at the lymph nodes that will do the detox work. 

Finally, facial yoga is a daily practice to be discovered. Working the facial muscles remains the key to giving them the necessary tone and looking younger and more fulfilled. Smile and laughter are super botoxes that are natural and within everyone\'s reach.

THE HAIR

With age, hair dries out, breaks, bleaches, grayscales, frizzles, falls out. So we must... treat them! To stimulate growth, limit fall, stop the production of dandruff, make it shiny and strong, feed it, moisturize it and cut it when necessary. A good remedy: a coconut oil bath, to be applied a few hours before washing them, or the whole night before shampooing. Finally, use natural products to wash them and wash them only once or twice a week to keep them healthy.

THE BODY

We are not meant to sit in front of our computer for 8 hours a day. So to get back to basics and make up for the lack of exercise that our lives impose on us, we have to move, prefer walking or pedalling rather than taking the subway, even if only for a few stations, and practice physical activity at least 2 to 3 hours a week. \"94a695c325fd69dd0ee9400aea80361c\"

Noted that outdoor walks allow us to reconnect with nature and breathe. 

THE SPIRIT

Walks in the countryside, by the sea, in the mountains, allow you to escape and heal your mind. Contact with nature, whether through walks, outdoor sports, gardening are very beneficial to calm the mind. By removing sources of stress and allowing yourself these moments of rest, you are moving away from the causes of aging in your body.

Adding some meditative practices to our lives, on a daily basis, can only be beneficial... It may be following guided meditation sessions, practicing mindfulness, meditating alone or accompanying, but it may also and already take time for a pleasant hobby that will allow the mind to disconnect, such as taking a long bath, tinkering, gardening... 

\"24b34482e481a6384a7a463ff282821d\"

 

Anyway, take care of yourself and listen to yourself! Connecting to your feelings and desires is one of the best ways to stay in shape as long as possible.
