What does it mean to live in a city?

It means that if you run out of milk while making a bechamel sauce, you can run to the shop that's 70 steps from your apartment, and buy the milk - mid sauce! If you run out of shampoo, you can run to the pharmacy that's 85 steps from your apartment, and then go ahead and have your nice shower. If your son asks for juice at 7:30am, and open the refrigerator to find that there's no more left, have no fear - the shop is there. If you have no scanner and have to send a document ASAP, walk two tiny Parisian blocks, and the internet cafe, equipped with super-duper scanner, is there for you my friend.


No cars, no pollution, no parking, no traffic, just you and the city. I may never go back to suburbia again.


If you have a craving for the best chocolate-covered almonds in the world, walk three Parisian blocks to non other than Meilleur Ouvrier de France Patrick Roger. This is no exaggeration, dear friends, this guy is a chocolate genius, an artist, the creator of cacao perfection.
