Synopsis
Excerpt from Paris Vieux Et Neuf: La Rive Droite
On naît poète et l'on devient orateur; on naît rôtisseur et l'on devient cuisinier. Il est permis de se demander si l'on ne naît point Parisien (par le mot Parisien, j'entends tout amoureux de Paris). En d'autres termes, cet amour est - il affaire de tempérament ou d'éducation? Oiseuse question, m'objecterez - vous, et insoluble. Eh bien, fermez ce livre, car, si un tel problème ne vous passionne pas, vous n'aimez pas, vous n'aimerez jamais Paris! J'aflirme, moi, que l'on naît Parisien, de même que Provincial ou Cosmopolite. On est né Parisien si l'on porte en soi un vif instinct de socia bilité avec le goût de l'existence moderne et de ses manifes tations collectives, avec la curiosité du passé et de ses no toires vestiges, avec une préoccupation générale de la vie publique. Qui ne m'accordera que ces dispositions soient la marque particulière du caractère français et de ceux de l'étranger qui demandent au génie de notre race leur direc tion sociale, intellectuelle et artistique?
Ainsi s'explique, et pas autrement, que Paris soit en France.
