PARIS<br />
in the spring<br />
“When spring comes to Paris, the humblest mortal<br />
alive must feel that he dwells in paradise”<br />
– Henry Miller<br />

Paris is undoubtedly a year-round city, but<br />
there is something about the spring that’s<br />
special. Paris in the spring is a cliché but<br />
like the best of clichés, it’s also a tangible<br />
experience.<br />
The air is soft and warm, the sun’s rays filter<br />
through the cherry blossom and light up<br />
bunches of pink and purple wisteria festooning<br />
fences, climbing over shop windows and<br />
doorways. The trees that line boulevards and<br />
avenues burst into life; boules games resume<br />
in the parks. Favourite city spots start to fill up<br />
with people flinging off their coats and settling<br />
in to watch the world go by from the terraces<br />
of their favourite cafés from Montmartre to<br />
Montparnasse. Families stroll in the parks,<br />
