I Love Paris

It's a long story, but I'm living in London for three months, and feeling a free spirit, a gypsy, after living in Paris for the last few years while I was at the Conservatoire.

I moved into a large apartment in the Gobelins, the Treizième Arrondissement, in the South of the city close to Montrouge, from Rouen.

I moved to Rouen to live with my aunt who had married a Normand, from my family home in Toulon after my parents were killed, and the gypsy status I have pleases me really because it is who I have become.

Paris is my home now. I still live in the apartment with the others and we each are trying to make our way but with supporting each other as best we can.

@SW-User london is great looking over tower bridge from the shard at night seeing all the lights on . Drinking a beer and watching the cars move like a line of ants.

@SW-User It's also stupid expensive. Better off going Ally Pally, Wimbledon Hill or Crystal Palace where it's way cheaper :)

@SW-User yep but we are still drawn to the magic it possesses.
The tower of London in 2014 with close to a million poppies in its ground.
I'm so glad I can say I stood there in awe of it and in sadness as each one represented a fallen one

@SW-User I purposely traveled down to see it. It was breathtaking but so busy
