Rue de la Roquette -
Thirza Vallois -
Rue de la Roquette is not of Haussmann's making, but
he successfully integrated it into his modern street network, making it
run through the present Place Léon Blum, more
or less at right angles with Boulevard Voltaire.
(This piece is excerpted from Thirza Vallois' book Around and About Paris.)

Richard Erickson -
While walking around Paris, the name of Jean Sans Peur
- Fearless Jean - pops up in a couple of
places. It does this because Fearless Jean put out a
'contract' on his cousin, Louis d'Orléans.
This was carried
out, investigators think, in the Impasse des Arbalétriers on Monday,
23. November 1407. The location of the assassination still exists,
but it is a bit hard to find because it
is not on any street map.
The Luxembourg Gardens -
Paul Jensi -
Paris parks are art. They are paintings by
trees, watercolor fountains and gouache paths cutting across a
canvas of verdure. They are living museums frequented by statues
where you and I are put on exposition. In Paris's gallery of
gardens, the Jardin du Luxembourg stands as one of the
city's finest works.
Letter From Paris -
Harriet Welty-Rochefort -
April in Paris is here and and if you didn't know it from the buds on
the trees, you'd know it from the covers on the French women's magazines in
the newsstands.
Every couverture, it would seem, features a fresh young flat-bellied
blonde looking out at you challengingly. Next to her is some title
screaming that she has lost four zillion pounds in two days.
