Where can I find a French quote on Paris?

Question

I'm looking for a quote in French, not translated to English, about Paris...

Can anyone give me a website or any quotes?

Thanks.

Answer 1

"Paris vaut bien une messe" (Henri IV) = it is worthwhile. cause, the king henri IV was a protestant, and to be accepted as the king of france (= "Paris"), he changed his religion to catholicism (= the catholic "messe").

"Paris vaut bien une fesse" (hehe!! a play on words with the 1st quote and the word "fesse" = butt)

" Parisien, tête de chien, Parigot, tête de veau" (say french people who dont live in paris)

and many others at http://www.evene.fr/citations/mot.php?mo...

(but there are many un-interesting)

Answer 2

this one isnt about paris but more about ppl from paris  :

"Le vrai parisien n'aime pas paris , mais il ne peut pas vivre ailleurs. Le poisson ne se réjouit pas d'être dans l'eau,mais il meur dès qu'il en sort"
