London just isn t what it used to be. It s better! A blend of old and new, pace and buzz alongside peace and tranquility, and an amazingly diverse cultural scene.
The sounds of Brit-pop and techno pour out of Victorian pubs; experimental theater is popping up on stages built for Shakespeare s plays; and Brits are even running the couture houses of Dior and Givenchy. In food, fashion, film, music, the visual arts, and just about everything else, London stands at the cutting edge again, just as it did in the 1960s. But rest assured that traditional London survives.
Paris assaults the senses, demanding to be seen, heard, touched, tasted and smelled. Gaze impressive monuments and savor its gourmet pastiche of cheese, chocolate, wine and seafood. Paris is a city of vast perspectives and intimate streets, of formal espaces verts (green open spaces) and of quiet squares.
Paris is relatively small as capitals go, with distances between many of its major sights and museums invariably walkable. You ll still find classic sights as well as trendy new projects.
