Here's what Alexandra has to say about Paris

The passer-by and Paris will be acquaintances: you will walk the streets and marvel at the extraordinary architecture, the beauty of shops, the seemingly endless number of red awning cafés, and the beautiful urban landscaping with mounds of fresh flowers planted as centerpieces at every available intersection.

The passer-by who keeps coming back will be friends with Paris: you will have your favorite spots, know the places where people went and the places to be now, and feel comfort in renewing your friendship with each visit.

And the passer-by who can never leave will have a love affair with Paris: after a few hundred shots of espresso and armed with a masterfully black wardrobe, you start to crack open the mystery of the city. As you sneak a peek into private (and public!) courtyards and start to discover what lies behind the ominously monumental double doors that line the hundreds of city streets, you begin to understand Paris and the Parisians.

Paris cannot be understood in a day, but if you stay there awhile, you will get to know it better. Take your time in Paris, and get to know the city and its people! Only by breathing the air the Parisians breathe, by crossing the Seine river over historic bridges 4 times a day, and by eating the same crusty bread, stinky cheese, and devilish sweets as the Parisians do will you know Paris like the inside of your pocket, as the French would say. So come to CEA in Paris armed with ambition, excitement, and wonder!
