Paris, je t'aime

Reflecting on my time in Paris, these are some things I will miss:

Accordionists on the metro
Bread and patisseries
The Seine at night... with wine
Hearing random french conversations between natives 
My french mom
French markets
Old french ladies that wear sexy black high-heals in all circumstances
French style, bohemian and blouse-y
The metro: always on time
French wine for less than 4 euros
The old white-haired homeless man that sits on rue Vavin with a 1664 beer smiling and talking to himself all day long
The espresso machine in the Alliance
Eating slowly at dinner
Yogurt
The architecture
Massive use of salad spinners
The electric tea pot at my host home that lights up when ready
The Arcades/Passageways of Paris
Cafés: sitting for 3 hours to drink a tiny espresso 
Hidden cabarets in bar basements
My french bed
Antique flea markets with things older than from the 1960s
Drinking in public at any hour of the day
Petits Beurres
Good tasting cheese that doesn't cost a fortune
