Armenians in Paris

This week marks the 96th anniversary of the 1915 Genocide in Armenia by Turks and on this occasion I wanted to honor Armenians and their great work in Paris. I always knew they were very successful people in many fields particularly that of  Jewelry but in Paris I discovered they are thriving in other areas as well. Among those are a few notable artisans worth  mentioning.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian : Perfumer (available at Le bon Marché)

Alain Manoukian : Fashion (retailer of  womens ready to wear Manoukian brand)

Petrossian - Gourmet food (with locations in NY and LA too ! )

Montmartre, Moulin Rouge !




Les marches du Sacré Coeur : un lieu de rencontre où l'on consomme bière !



Montréal devrait prendre exemple et regrouper tous ses sexes shops dans un quartier comme Pigalle à Paris ...

Public transit

  • Many people jump over the turnstile in the metro and do not pay
  • Because of that, I think, we have to present proof of payment again, b4 we exit RER trains!
  • Some people  smoke on the train
  • Most trains are dirty and most smell like urine
  • 
    Merci à Armenuhi d'avoir posé ; ceci est un joli train et récent

    
    Ici à Montmartre impossible de les prendre en photos dans les gares d'ailleurs celle-ci est illégale !
  • Soldiers with semi automatic weapons are on guard in public areas (Plan dragon )
  • Other indecent things happen too that I'd rather not mention here ...
