the smell of paris
Iâm a Parisian and I can testify that the smell of Paris is a part of its identity. There are good smells and bad smells. The good smell: -The delicious smell of the bakeries very early in the morning. -Paris is full of delicious restaurants and little high quality grocery shops.
While still at this place in Paris, you may also notice that diesel cars and trucks smell too. Some city buses also smell of course, but newer ones run on GPL and are relatively odorless. If it is warm, and you stand near a mÃ©tro ventilation grate, you will get a blast of hot mÃ©tro smell every four or five minutes.
