Paris Stories

Tell Your Story!

I remember the day I took this picture. I had been in Paris just a few weeks and enjoyed spending my time roaming the neighborhoods.

I was wandering in the Marais district that morning, near Place des Vosges, and after a great falafel sandwich for lunch I got turned around and wasn't exactly sure where I had gotten myself.

I found myself in back of the Swedish Cultural Center and while I was looking at their garden, I saw this guy up in a tree.

It took me a few moments to realize just what it was I was looking at and when I realized that this was a dummy, I just had to get a picture. Fortunately, he held the pose while I got out my camera.

Perhaps you've seen him, but sorry, he's no longer up there.

I'm sure you have a story of your own.

Here's your chance to tell your story and get it published on the web.

It's hard to imagine visiting Paris without coming back with a good story or two about your stay.

Perhaps an interesting street scene, like watching the guy who swallows swords in the plaza of the Pompidou Center, or a place you visited that really made an impression on you.

Or, share one of those "cultural moments", either a connect or a disconnect, that showed a unique aspect of Parisian life.

Perhaps you had an incident that began as a real horror story but over time has become one of your fondest memories.

Go ahead, we'd all love to hear it.
