Paris is not only a place but a state of mind. Whoever goes there takes away the greatest meal he has ever had in his life, a romance that will linger forever, and a dream that will never be repeated. All you have to say is “Paris” and the movie will begin.—Art Buchwald, author

Explore Paris with Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Halberstam in the October 1999 issue of TRAVELER.
