In 2008, we lived in the Montmartre area of Paris ... On August 1, we went to our favorite restaurant to discover, much to our dismay, that they would be closed for a month and a half, closing August 1, re-opening September 15. At first I thought, 'How weird, why would anyone close for a month-and-a-half?'
There's been a lot of news about muggings ... Young gangs of 2 or 3 are roaming around the Paris metro or the RER looking for vulnerable passengers. And, there’s also theft happening around town, especially around the canals (e.g., Canal St. Martin) and parks.
Come with us to experience French life beyond the cliché.
