To describe a great city like Paris to an American, or a mighty American city such as Chicago to a French, is a comparatively difficult matter. One of the most distinctive features of France is the great importance of Paris in the life of the country as a whole. The location of Paris is almost ideal. Paris exerts an almost mystical attraction not only on Europe but on the rest of the world as well. Its architecture may be rather oldfashioned, its general appearance far from clean, and its entertainments not always of the highest, but the visitor forgets all this. The wide boulevards with their cafes, the crooked streets of the Montmarte, and the Latin Quarter, where shops offer all sorts of products from paintings to bad-smelling cheese, the quiet border of the Seine River where open-air bookstalls invite the literary enthusiast, the public gardens and parks where children, guarded by uniformed nurses, sail tiny boats on the grass-bordered ponds. All this is the Paris which one learns to love.
