Paris!

Eichhörnchen · 04-17-16, 02:30 PM

I have to confess that I have a thing for Paris. I've never been there and have formed my romantic sense of the place entirely through the media: through films such as The Bourne Identity, Taken, Moulin Rouge and, more recently, Ratatouille and Hugo.

from the movie 'Hugo'

And I was simply blown away by the PC game The Saboteur, which allows you to roam freely across the boulevards, iconic tourist locations and rooftops of a partly fictionalised wartime Paris (you can even swim in the Seine if you wish, or take the escalator to the top of the Eiffel Tower!)

'The Saboteur'

In what ways does the city of Paris touch on you and your senses? Perhaps you even live there? In what other movies has the city been cast in the lead role? Is it really as beautiful as it is portrayed?

Maybe I'm nuts

, but it's never been a destination city for me.

Same here, many other places to see, but I must admit, I prefer open spaces.

If I was to go, I think the boulevards, rooftops and iconic tourist destinations would probably fade in contrast to foreground objects.

But could you handle the foreground objects!!

A four paces with a pencil. Don't wanna handle 'em. Just wanna draw 'em.
