Thinking of Paris again...

Place Dauphine

Another beautiful Paris square to fill us with longing for this magical city! 

There is a possibility that I might be moving to Paris in the near future to work and maybe do some post-graduate studying afterwards, who knows? This would be a dream come true and I wouldn't care if I lived in a dump as long as I could wake up and face these beautiful buildings. And even if I don't move to Paris, I will always visit it from time to time. It is my soul mate after all..

Place de la Concorde

Place des Vosges

Honestly...the most beautiful, artistic, inspirational, parisian square in Paris! Here lived the famous Victor Hugo, although I don't think he was inspired to write Les Miserables in this area, as it is one of the richest and chicest places right now in Paris. What really gets me going is the perfect symmetry and the numerous lines of perfectly shaped trees. I could stay here, with a cup of coffee, some chocolate and a book all day long... just saying.

Je m'appelle Maria

Bonjour! This is my first post and I would like to explain to you, dear reader of my blog, what the purspose of this blog is and why I chose the title.

About la Petite Grecque
Well, I am a 22 year old girl, who has always been passionate about beautiful things, little pleasures in life, fashion, cinema, food, but most of all...travel! I am known among friends for my little trips now and then, my almost know-everything-around-cinema attitude and my love for a little place called...Paris. As a person I am quite shy and reserved, but as the dear Stephen Hawking once said "Quiet people have the loudest minds!" I feel that it is time to have my creativity and passion for life shown to others. Right now I am in a state of my life where I'm not sure I've chosen the right path (professionally). But I stay positive and always a dreamer. I know that life is not a dream, but isn't that just "too damn shame"? I want to dream in life and be optimistic, rather that straight realistic.

So, why French? Why Paris?
Where do I begin? French culture has nothing to do with macarons and croissants. The French are lovers of love, life and pleasure. From my recent trip in Paris (again!) I realised for the millionth time that these people know how to balance work, fun time and culture all together. They read a lot of books, they eat good (but not too much) and they speak...a lot!
Do I want to move there one day? Hell yeah!
