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.)

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!
