Our theme day for the 1st of September isSister City(ies) and I must say that I had no idea who Paris was the sister of until now. Wikipedia helped me discover that Paris has one and only sister: Rome, in Italy. The family ties must not be very strong though as I'm sure nobody knows that here and we do not hear much about exchanges or cross activities with Rome in the local news... One thing I discovered though: Parisians can visit city owned museums for free in Rome, providing they show their ID. Isn't that cool? Anyway, like always, pay a visit to all "sister city daily photo blogs", 148 are taking part in the game this month!

Rome and Paris! What a great combination. They're my favorite cities.
ReplyDeleteHa! "Anonyme" is first today.
ReplyDeleteRome is one of the most beautiful cities in the world... I just love it.
ReplyDeleteYay for this photo! Would you believe this was my metro stop my first time in Paris? During a six-week university program, I stayed with a family who lived around the corner from this stop.
ReplyDeleteAnd btw, I did not know Rome was the sister city of Paris. Next to returning to Paris (which I miss so much!), Rome is the place I next most long to visit.
They really are perfectly matched twins.
ReplyDeleteI wonder who thought of sister cities in the first place?
ReplyDeleteIthought for a nanosecond that Hector Guimard did an art nouveau metro in Rome. Duh!
ReplyDeleteI checked the sister city for PHX daily photo--nothing. Nothing for Coral Gables either. Well, at least I learned something here.
Congrats to Parisian Heart for GF!
Those signs are so cute!
ReplyDeleteYou really are so lucky Paris and Rome. Does it get any more romantic or better than this.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect pair. At least I'd guess so. I haven't been to Rome. It's hard to imagine any city holding its own with Paris.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to sign up for theme day festivities. Not the first time I did that! I'm doing it anyway because Pasadena has a cool sister. But it's not September first here yet.
Rome, huh? Well, I guess that makes sense since the Romans arrived in Ol'Paree in the 1st century BC and referred to those Gallic folks living there as the "Parisii." Thank the Frank-- "Clovis that is"--for making Paris the capital of Merovingia! Hey, if you can get some discounts in Rome, I say go for it Eric. I love all those Metro signs in Parisii-land. Wish I could get some of the great sign font on my computer.
ReplyDeleteHow very cool! 2 of my 3 favorite large cities are sisters!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't visited Paris or Rome yet, but it is definitely on my life list of things to do--I just want to learn more French and Italian before I go. I'm working on that, but my brain just tries to slide those languages into its Spanish section, and it makes it interesting! I'm not giving up though!
Happy Sister City day!!
I bet I can find it for you, Coltrane (the font, that is). It is a groovy font, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteSoosha...if you can find it, let me know. Seriously, I dig it too. BTW...How's the weekend going? Better I hope. Later gator!
ReplyDeleteColtrane_lives
ReplyDeleteTry this one for the font.....
http://www.fontspace.com/david-rakowski/paris-metro
Dang, someone got to it before me! I'm so upset! Oh well, I tried and was so close.
ReplyDeleteWeekends just fine, how's yours croc?
Eric -- what a clever way to illustrate this theme day!
ReplyDeleteApparently, NYC has 10 sister cities, but I doubt we get into all their museums gratis (if only).
Was sans Internet yesterday, so would like to say today how wonderful that so many of us got to meet each other this weekend—and add my mercis to Eric.
Also, I've been missing Tall Gary, too. He's been a faithful visitor to my blog (had me in stitches every day) and, like Petrea, I sure hope he's off somewhere exotic.
And Rose -- good to see you again. Will you please look at my Aug. 12 blog post?
Drinking too many cheap mojitos this weekend and forgot my manners: thanks for the link to the font, anon. I'll probably be using it on lots of my graphics now!
ReplyDeleteEric, that was a surprise, learning that Paris has only one sister! Most large cities seem to have several.
ReplyDeleteI guess Rome and Paris are kind of trapped by the statement made when they became sister cities: "Only Paris is worthy of Rome; Only Rome is worthy of Paris"
Great post!
Anon...BIG THANKS! That is perfect. Thank you too Soosha for looking. These PDPrs are fast, eh?
ReplyDeletePHX-CDG...check out Bleeding Orange's Grenoble for a sister city.
And Rose is back, and Alexa is back...now where is the Tall G-man?
Yeah, where is TG? I may not know him too well yet but I do miss him! (*coltrane breathes a sigh of relief as he glances towards to horizon and sees soosha_q finally leaving him be*) ;oP
ReplyDeleteSoosha...what are you talking about? I love our chats! (not cats...well, you know)
ReplyDeleteSorry, don't mean to take over PDP, I just had a comment for Eric. I'm very annoyed with you! I go to your Zazzle shop to purchase a calender for 2009 and what do I find? 2 calenders!!! How am I suppose to choose?!? And then I see about 100 other things I want including a brand new poster of yesterdays photo!!! Do you have any idea how difficult it was to not purchase today? I mean really, do I need an entire wall in my home devoted to PDP? (Yes!)
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm done ranting. Seriously though, thank you Eric! I can't wait to get my calender in the mail!!!
C-man (that'd be you, Coltrane): Slightly more smooth font I've just been alerted to: Metropolitain EF. Not free, however, like the other.
ReplyDeleteThanks Soosha. I've saved it in favorites. Looks great too! LOL about a PDP wall. Actually, not a bad idea!
ReplyDeleteThey are well matched!
ReplyDeleteI know, you're getting sick of seeing me...sorry!
ReplyDeleteI was messing around with yesterday's photo, making the orange pop more and giving it more contrast before I made it my desktop wallpaper. Not that your photo wasn't wonderful Eric, I just like my photos to be more "dynamic." SO not my point, though. My point is for poor Coltrane. His user photo is rather dark and not very contrast-ie, so I fiddled with it while I had my editing program open. If you'd like it, Coltrane, I can give it to you. If not that's quite alright, I'll just delete it and I wont be offended. I'm just really bored and not ready for bed yet!
Wait, I just caught that. What in the world do you mean "not cats"?!? Have you been hitting the cheap mojitos too?
Sure Soosha...send me an email attachment and I'll check it out. My profile photo is actually a photo of a photo; therefore, it is a bit blurry...kind of like my eyes now. Thanks for tweaking it.
ReplyDeleteK, need your email address. If you don't wanna post it here you can email me w/it. soosha_q@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteRight, I think I vaguely remember you saying once it's a photo of a photo. I do not have the best memory in the world!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know this little fact so can now impress my colleagues at the espresso machine this morning..."Did you know that..." Of course, they'll just think I had too much espresso!
ReplyDeleteI like the framing you did in this photo Eric. We get "Rome" framing the Metro map and "Metropolitan" framing the buildings of Paris. Very nice!
Hello Rose! Welcome back!
What an interesting tidbit. I never would have guessed! I love both cities, but have to admit a fondness for anything Italy since visiting France and Italy at 18 years old. Italy has really stayed in my heart.
ReplyDeleteHi Michael! I'd tweak your photo too but it's just too darned cute to mess with.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm sure you probably get the "he's had too much espresso this morning" look from your colleagues a lot.
PHX-CDG - it looks like Grenoble, France is your sister city!
ReplyDeleteSoosha - LOL. You're probably right!
Just when I had decided yesterday's picture was my favorite this year, you come up with an even better one! ;) I'm sure people would argue that point with me, but I'm a huge fan of these old Metro stations.
ReplyDeleteHey Michael, hey Coltrane, hey everyone...
ReplyDeleteMichael
Too much expresso or not I am going to charge royalties for your use of MY picture!
Tomate
Why not have two favourite pictures? Or countless in my case?
PHX
I thought you had relaxed the rules a little... I guess I could have won the GF today!!! Oh no :(
Parisian Heart
Congrats on being the GF last night but don't hold your hopes too high for a next GF too soon. I m going to bed really late the next few days and I am starving for a GF title. I guess I will have Alexa to fight with now that Cali is away in SF.. hehe
Hey Sis' Roma!
ReplyDeleteI like this picture, the buildings seem to be framed by the métro steel structure. But the sky looks fake, it's not the real sky that we had in August! ;)
I didn't know about Rome (and the free museums!! Thanks for the tip Eric). I've been several times to Italy, but never visited this city. I know, it's a shame...
Welcome home Rose!!
Astucieuse, cette photo! Je n'en reviens pas que Paris ne soit jumelée qu'avec une unique ville...mais quelle ville!
ReplyDeleteI just noticed that there's no Rome Daily Photo blog! How can that be?
ReplyDeleteRose - sorry for using your photo. The check is in the mail. ;-)
ReplyDeleteUn jumelage unique, c'est vrai que c'est rare...
ReplyDeleteDiscours de 1956: "« Seule Paris est digne de Rome ; seule Rome est digne de Paris »/« Solo Parigi è degna di Roma; solo Roma è degna di Parigi ». Un rien mégalo. LOL
Yes it's very cool. Does Paris extend the same courtesy to Italians at their own museums?
ReplyDeleteGood selection of a photo for the theme day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful match !!! Nice post ;o) Thanks ...
ReplyDeleteYes Eric, you thought of just the right illustration with this shot! This is out near St. Lazare and Rue du Rome. We spent a couple days exploring instrument and sheet music shops in that area, and I remember using the Europe Metro station not far from this. I could not believe how many luthiers per square foot that area of Paris has!
ReplyDelete-Kim
Seattle Daily Photo
Love this Metro Stop! I have a Paris Metro shot today too, although not so clear, and a little bit of a stretch for the theme day! I agree that there are few cities that could hold their own with Paris, and Rome is certainly one of them!
ReplyDeleteHave missed you all lately! Wish you were all my sister cities!
There's no Rome DP? For shame! That's another one I'd annoy, er... visit constantly!
ReplyDeleteI guess only Paris could be so choosy! Being able to visit all the museums for free, that's like money in the bank.
ReplyDeleteSo funny, phx ... I didn't even think about being GF yesterday! I knew I had not been the first to comment; I just logged on and commented when I could. Thanks for the congratulations. :) Rose ... You should have room to reach for the crown -- at least without my being too much of a threat. Hmmm ... Or am I just lulling you into a false sense of security? ;)
ReplyDeleteSometimes I don't ... I love your quote about only Paris and Rome being worthy of each other!
Eric, I do love these art deco metro station signs!
WHAT???? Your sister city isn't Paris, Texas???? That's crazy.
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to have Paris, texas as your sister city, but I think that Rome is a much better choice!
ReplyDeleteWe have a Paris in England,Eric! I forget where it is... but it's here somewhere. I personally believe it behoves you to come and look for it! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing list. Who compiled it?
ReplyDeleteMerci pour l'information sur la gratuité des musées pour les Parisiens. J'espère qu'elle s'applique aux "natifs" même s'ils ont émigré vers d'autres cieux.
