In this video, we explore Paris’ hidden gem, the Asian Quarter, located in the 13th arrondissement. Over the course of several springtime walks, I captured the vibrant life of this unique area, where a mix of Asian cultures, including Chinese and Vietnamese, come together. This Asian Quarter is a fascinating blend of tradition and modernity, featuring traditional shops, cafes, and striking contrasts between Chinese symbols and towering high-rise buildings.

    One of the most impressive sights is a row of pagoda-style buildings that stand out like a traditional oasis amid the modern skyscrapers. While it’s often thought of as primarily Chinese, the area truly reflects a broader Asian influence, making it a diverse and culturally rich part of Paris.

    Join me as I take you through this captivating neighborhood, revealing why it’s considered one of Paris’ hidden gems.

    1. Mulțumesc pentru o nouă filmare constructivă pentru mine. De câteva zile, am urmărit la întâmplare și pentru prima dată, câteva video-uri făcute pe străzile din Tokyo și Seul. Sunt curioasă, care este sentimentul tău, vis-a vis de ce ai întâlnit/trăit în acest cartier, comparativ cu ce ai întâlnit/trăit în Japonia. Mi-am conturat și eu o percepție din ce am văzut în filmări, desigur, nu se compară parcursul live cu vizionarea unui film, trăirile sunt de intensitate mai mare în cazul experienței directe.

    2. Mulțumesc pentru felul cum ai punctat… ”Implementare imperfectă”, mi-a fost teamă să scriu că, simt în acest loc o ruptură, o lipsă de fluiditate și armonie în arhitectură, în felul cum sunt așezate clădirile și spațiile verzi. Acum pot zâmbi.😊
