<< Religion || The Système D >>
There’s a popular saying, “You’ll never be French, but you can be Parisian.” Being Parisian is less about where you’re born (or even, some may argue, where you live), and more about attitude. For the average Parisian, life may consist of the “Métro-Boulot-Dodo” routine (to the métro, to work, to bed), but even the most insignificant interaction is an opportunity to display their cleverness or cultural prowess. It’s a subtle artistry that takes years for newcomers to really comprehend; that elusive je-ne-sais-quoi, which makes Parisians different.
