But each time you visit, you feel a bit more…Parisian? Is it possible to fall in love with a place? If you find yourself nodding in agreement to any of the signs below, you might just be obsessed with Paris.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n You know that each of the 20 Parisian neighborhoods<\/a> is worth a visit, so you make a point of getting to know them all. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n No trip is complete without a visit to the 10th arrondissement<\/em>, <\/em>packed with cozy restaurants and caf\u00e9s. You spend hours admiring modern art at the Fondation Cartier<\/a> <\/em>in the 14th. And you regularly venture into the 13th for a stroll through the bustling Chinatown.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n A photo of the Eiffel Tower might be on your phone\u2019s home screen, but it is not where you head for the best views of the City of Light. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Your pick: the top-floor terrace of the chic Galeries Lafayette<\/a> department store. This is the perfect spot to soak up the stunning panorama of Paris, including the Eiffel Tower itself. And of course, to do some shopping on the side. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You refuse to buy your bread just anywhere. Like every Parisian, the only bakery you frequent is your beloved neighborhood boulangerie<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You expertly choose between la tradition<\/em> (the hearty traditional baguette), la campagne<\/em> (the hand-crafted baguette with sourdough) or la ficelle<\/em> (a thin baguette), smiling to yourself as you proudly leave with your favorite bread underarm.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n READ MORE<\/em><\/strong>: <\/em>The 5 Best Baguettes to Try in Paris Before You Leave<\/em><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You have cheese after dinner, either before or instead of dessert. Your favorite French saying is \u201ca meal without cheese is like a day without sun.\u201d <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n With 400 or so cheese varieties, France is obsessed with cheese, and so are you. Whether we\u2019re talking Camembert, Brie de Meaux, Roquefort, Boursin, Reblochon, Munster, Epoisses or Tomme De Savoie, you excel in cheese etiquette and certainly know where to find the absolute best cheese in Paris.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The only right way to have lunch in Paris is to take your time and enjoy each bite of your meal. A sandwich on the go is out of the question. Instead, you insist on having a proper d\u00e9jeuner<\/em> in one of the neighborhood bistros<\/a>, along with your fellow Parisians. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Your idea of a perfect day is <\/a>fl\u00e2nerie<\/a><\/em>\u2014a leisurely walk\u2014through the pretty Parisian streets. This is an essential part of the city\u2019s culture, and there is no better way to savor its beauty than by being a passionate flaneur<\/em>. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You are a proud owner of the Ami du Louvre<\/a> card that gives you free access to the museum. Because if you looked at each work of art for only 30 seconds, it would still take you more than a hundred days to see everything. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You\u2019ve become a master of avoiding the crowds at the main entrance too: you head straight to the underground Le Carrousel du Louvre (or Richelieu for the card holders) instead. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You say bonjour<\/em> all the time. And that\u2019s not because you don\u2019t speak any French\u2014on the contrary. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Obsessed with etiquette, you realize that this lovely word is much more than a simple greeting. It is the most important word in the French language<\/a>. If you have a bonjour <\/em>up your sleeve, you’ll fit right in wherever you go\u2014be it your favorite Parisian bakery, at the Saturday market or even in the elevator. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You adore the Parisian chic and effortless style. Like a true local, you only wear black. After all, as Yves Saint Laurent used to say, \u201cthere\u2019s not one black, but many blacks.\u201d <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n By now you realize that Paris is not quite what you imagined it to be before you first visited: fashionable bicycle-riding macaron<\/a>-eating Parisians happily living on cheese and wine<\/a>. Paris is wonderful, but like any other big city, it is also crowded, polluted and exhausting. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n And that\u2019s okay. It\u2019s all part of the charm, n\u2019est pas<\/em>? You know that Paris is just that sort of amazing place you never want to leave.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As the saying goes, \u201cthough you may leave Paris, Paris never really leaves you.\u201d After seeing \u201cLe Fabuleux Destin d\u2019Am\u00e9lie Poulain\u201d more times than you\u2019d like to admit, and dreaming of buttery croissants, cheese and wine, you\u2019ve finally made it to Paris.
