there was a period when this was sort of the silicon valley kind of silicon alley of paris in this general neighborhood. where just a few hundred yards from the canal san martin, one of the most beautiful places to walk in the city where people sit on the edge of the canal and talk and do all the row han tick things that you think of students doing here in paris. all of that is part of the neighborhood. this is where the life is in paris. this is where things are moving. you could say it s hip but that s misleading. it s that wonderful cosmopolitan mix that you get in paris at its best whether you re talking about the paris of today or the 20s, people who come and mix and mingle and want to lead lives of pleasure. hollande said yesterday there were 19 nationalities amongst the dead so far. was that what was that surprising to you?
