PARIS 2e

"Infotainment? What the hell are you talking about?"


Ladie's Mile

063
Between Civil War and World War I, this specific Gilded Age district became the birthplace of some of New York's most famous department stores, including Lord & Taylor, Best & Co., and Bergdorf Goodman.
NY Magazine and the New York Times christened it the 'Flatiron District', photographers call it the 'Photo District', real-state agents call it 'Midtown South', but its most nostalgic name is the old one: The Ladies' Mile.

    I am Cedric, discoverer of things that would go unnoticed in the streets of Paris, historic haven of fashionistas and city of lights ('lights' as in 'enlightenment', not street lights).
    But seriously: I'm an expat from Luxembourg (the country, not the garden), living in the center of Paris (hence 'Paris 2nd arrondissement'), and currenlty studying architectural history...
