No, it’s not cliché to dream of romantic getaways to the European city of love, Paris, planning out picnics and eating savoury meals while listening to Édith Piaf singing La Vie en Rose and overlooking the Eiffel Tower; Nothing about Paris, or France for that matter, is cliché! It’s no surprise it’s been the source of inspiration for many notable stories, mentioned in unforgettable films such as Casablanca, famous for Humphrey Bogart’s character Rick Blaine and his line “We’ll always have Paris.”, Audrey Hepburn’s Paris amazement in Sabrina or Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris story of Paris-enchanted screenwriter character Gil.

We can’t exactly say when it appeared since it’s the product of centuries of creativity, possibly over the period from the 12th to the 19th century and it’s been the object of admiration ever since it appeared.
