"Paris en Rose"

An average daily allowance of métro, boulot, dodo isn't exactly a recipe for staying in love with Paris. Sure, you could manage a peek of the Eiffel Tower on your way to work on Line 6 every morning, but you're probably too busy finding a way to stand or sit, which doesn't involve unnecessary body contact with all the faune in the wagon, to be bothered by a web of steel. 
So what happened to the Paris you fell head over black stilettos for? The city where you had your first bite of chestnut puree and shopped for your first pair of knee-high boots. Did the magic one day die? Or can you still feel it sometimes, through other people's eyes?
