My favorite city in Europe is hands down: Paris. As cliche as that may be, there is just something special about this city. I visited Paris twice before studying abroad. Once at the age of 11, and again at the age of 15, but visiting again as a college student was a completely different experience. Paris has a spirit all its own that can captivate any traveler even if you are visiting when it's 25 degrees and snowing outside.
As a little introduction to Paris I want to share this video with you. It's a video from La Blogtheque a French music blog that features articles on popular Indie musicians and more importantly these things called Take Away Shows. In a Take Away Show a featured band performs a song anywhere in the city of Paris-- and I want to show you Phoenix's performance of 1901. While Phoenix has become pretty Americanized they still perform at least two songs in French at each concert and are still amazing performers. So enjoy this song and video and get ready for a bit of helpful information to plan your Parisian visit.
