What do I love about Paris? There\u2019s a particular kind of soft, persistent rain here called bruine<\/em>, and when it falls, it covers all that it touches with a fine mist. Wipe it away and it comes right back. It\u2019s everywhere. You can\u2019t escape it, and you wouldn\u2019t want to.<\/p>\n

The magic of Paris is simple like that. It\u2019s subtle but impossible to miss.\u00a0But what my beloved rain is to me, a summer picnic on the Pont des Arts may be to you.<\/p>\n

I asked Parisians what they loved most about the French capital, and got different answers from each one, but all with a common theme: a deep passion for the city, and for sharing it with the rest of us.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
