Hi I have an assignment where I need to find facts about Paris. I don't want ho hum stuff with statistics, I want an interesting quirky fact. Does anyone know any off hand? Thanks!!

Answer 1

At french cafes the seats outside are more expensive than the inside,
Pont neuf (even though its translated as "new bridge") is actually the oldest bridge in paris.
Napoleon's tomb is in a red coffin at l'hotel des invalids
and that's all I can think of right now.
