(Last Update: 05.09.2024) There are churches in Paris that I have never thought to go inside even though I have passed them many times. Even though I visit Saint Germain Boulevard once a week, for some reason it never occurred to me to go inside the Saint Germain des Prés Church and look at it. It was as if that church was erected in that square as a monument just to give its name to the district, but of course it was not. Making 6.

I pass by it many times, I have even met in front of it many times as a meeting point; It wasn't until much later that I had the chance to go inside and look at it.

(Last Update: 03.09.2024) I first learned that there was such a large mosque in Paris from my teacher in the French course, when I first settled in Paris. In fact, this place was included in the list of "Places to see in Paris" in our textbook... It was a long time before I went to see this mosque because it was in a spot that I perceived as a far corner of Paris at that time. Then a few months later
(Last Update: 03.09.2024) "Why do you need to come to Paris and visit a cemetery?" You may ask, but Montparnasse Cemetery, one of the most special cemeteries in Paris and the final resting place of many famous names, is truly a place worth visiting and seeing.
