    i spose this is a job for me...;)


    Well I really know only one area in Paris, that would suit you, it's easy to find.

    All you need is to go to the Halles, (enormous shopping center) continue walking towards The George Pompidou arts center,And all the roads you'll pass by are full of bars, shops, it's very nice, and there's always loads of communities and people out!!!

    Other than this it's always dispatched through all Paris!!

    True i had totally forgotten about the latin quarter!!lol
    actually u could add:

    -The Marais,
    -L'ile de la cité
    -Montmartre!

    They're all rather easy to find, especially Ile de la cité, an isle in the middle of Paris.

    Pere Lachaise?

    The hugest cemetery in the world. All the great poets live in there nowadays, most of them with monuments huge as houses. But the greatest of them all, has the smallest gravestone of them all.

    If you don't already know who I'm talking about right now, you will know when you enter the cemetery.

    Just follow the arrows...

    I knew you were talking about Jim Morrison, but who else is there (poets)?
    I know there are many, but I'm really interested to hear a bit of their names, hehe!

    Love,

    I still believe that Jim was much much greater than Edith Piaf. It's more difficult to decide whether he was greater than Oscar Wilde.

    u'd be amazed to know what the lady was able of!

    Oscar Wilde is greater than Morrison to me.

    Jim didn't want anyone to build a huge monument. He's dead, and the worms ate his flesh many years ago. I think he's satisfied. But he can't be, cuz he's dead.

    I don't know if he's dead for sure. I just know that he's more dead than Elvis.

    I have to agree, Oscar Wilde is great in my opinion. I didn't know he was there in Paris now, though.

    What about Dali? Is he there, too?
