The 5th Arrondissement - Thirza Vallois The Evénements de mai 1968 took place in this district, generally called the Latin Quarter. The events of that year lead to fundamental changes in the place, including an end to many of the cobblestoned streets. But its history was rich even before that. (This piece is excerpted from Thirza Vallois' book Around and About Paris.)


Where All Lanes Are Fast: Periphèrique - Richard Erickson The Paris ring road can help you get where you're going - including the ultimate life destination. Ric gives a quick overview of the extraordinary culture you'll find on this road - road culture of course.


Letter From Paris - Harriet Welty-Rochefort - Harriet reports on some of her latest encounters with daily life in Paris - and more.


City of Night in the City of Light - Jenna Castrogiovanni - Coming out of the light of day, and being immersed into the darkness of night is what one will experience upon entering the Catacombs of Paris. They lie deep beneath the "city of lights" and after spending an hour here you may never want to be alone in the dark again..ever!
