(Last Update: 03.06.2025) Paris is actually a tiny city, but you never know what's in its corner, sometimes in the middle of nowhere, behind an ordinary door. You have to hear about it from someone, read about it here and there, or have a friend take you there to discover it. I'd like to introduce you to Le Comptoir Général, one of my discoveries, in this article. There's no need to even write about it.

(Last Update: 03.06.2025) The treasures of Paris are endless. So much so that although these treasures are always in the middle of nowhere, they can sometimes go unnoticed, whether it is because we are focusing on other things or because there are too many things to focus on. But we all continue to turn Paris upside down, and in this article, we are going to show you one of those treasures, making Paris feel like a port city by the sea.

A Real Turkish Restaurant in Paris: Restaurant Labranda

4 reviews

(Last Update: 04.06.2025) In this article, I would like to tell you about a life-saving Turkish restaurant in Paris that I love, Restaurant Labranda. Why does Labranda save lives? Because sometimes in Paris, one wants to eat good Turkish food and even experience an atmosphere like in Turkey in the restaurant he goes to, but this is something that is very easy to find in Paris, or rather in any country other than Turkey.

(Last Update: 05.06.2025) One of my favorite things to do in Paris is undoubtedly to wander from book to book and breathe in the unique atmosphere of each one. Since Paris is a city that offers a wide range of options in this regard, there is no such thing as a shortage of places. Another beauty of Paris is that it hosts many bookstores selling general books.

A Delightful Boat Cafe-Restaurant: Antipode

(Last Update: 07.06.2025) The biggest longing of an Istanbulite living in Paris is not being able to eat or drink while overlooking the Bosphorus and not being able to chat with friends. I have passed through the Bosphorus and the sea, I am even willing to sit by the water and eat and drink something, but there is no such culture of life in Paris, as in almost all of Europe. I think cities built on river banks are protected against possible floods.

(Last Update: 07.06.2025) Paris is a beautiful city that offers a different surprise at every corner and you can never get enough of it. While everyone has a perception of Paris with typical architecture in their minds, the French are actually trying to add a different atmosphere to the city by doing very ambitious works in their new architectural projects. In this context, Center Pompidou, Institut du Monde Arabe, Fondation Louis Vuitton, Philharmonie

(Last Update: 07.06.2025) In this article, I would like to tell you about Canal Saint-Martin - Saint Martin Canal, which is neglected by many people but is actually a wonderful sightseeing and walking track in the middle of Paris. Regardless of summer or autumn, the Saint Martin Canal will give you a very pleasant Parisian atmosphere with the relaxing effect of the water, the reflections of the trees in the water, and the life flowing around the canal.
