Paris has just always been cool. When it's not out of control, that is. But even during the height of the Terror, they still managed a kind of crazy style--one that, as usual, caught on. I've been reading a lot of 18th Century letters of late, during fragmented time--then
alecaustin comes up with
this link about a sekrit organization that restores Paris's landmarks. That's cool (how soon before members of the Untergunther) are able to laugh at depictions of themselves on screen?) but what got to me was the thing about the secret parties. i was just reading about similar hi-jinks in 1740.
