For four hundred years, booksellers offering an array of great and less familiar literature have lined the embankment walls on both sides of the river, from the Pont Royal to the Pont de Sully.

This has got me thinking about the long tradition of Franco-American mutual admiration.
Vous voulez connaitre les vrais parisiens? Les approcher de prés et comprendre comment un parisien fonctionne ? Alors je vous conseille ce site «Entendu à Paris». Des gens entendent dans la rue (ou ailleurs) des conversations qui retiennent leur attention et ils nous en font profiter. Vous y trouverez des bribes de conversation entre parisiens, souvent étonnant, parfois déroutant, en tous les cas vous n’y resterez pas insensible.
