Yes, they each have their own charms. Paris, specially, where you can be an anonymous flâneur and go where the wind takes you. And the quaint intimacy that a smaller town offers is also pleasing. I've never been to Rouen but the cathedral seems lovely! What a drastic difference it must be from Chicago which also seems like a wonderful place to visit!

I love how you desribe cities as having their individual personalities. In a way, every time we visit a new place, it's like meeting a new person. There's new conversations to have and new memories to make together.

It really is fascinating. Thanks for reading, @kathleenscarboro!
