'You can't escape the past in Paris, and yet what is so wonderful about it is that the past and the present intermingle so intangibly that it doesn't seem to burden' - Allen Ginsberg, the celebrated American poet on Paris's famous landscape including the Notre Dame Cathedral.
'...the whole of Paris is a vast university of Art, Literature and Music... it is worth anyone's while to dally here for years. Paris is a seminar, a postgraduate course in Everything' - James Thurber, former editor of The New Yorker.
