Born and raised in Paris, lived there all my life, and never been in that street nor did i know about it either.

But that’s not so surprising. Local people usually don’t explore as much as tourists. They have their daily routines and eventually go to places for a reason. I actually often ask a non french friend of mine to bring me to new places because she still kept that explorer mentality. She knows Paris better than i do in some ways.

I think it's sad... I've lived in Paris for the last 15 years and have explored a lot of the city (but still have a lot to see). I remember a colleague, born and raised in the western suburbs, who saw the Opera for the first time the other day when he had to walk to the office because the metro from Saint-Lazare was out of order.

suburb vs Paris is also something else. I had the exact same experience two times: once with the opera , and another with montmartre’s sacré coeur ( she didn’t even know what that was, she just told me « that’s nice, what is it ? »). I was in a bit of a shock.

I've lived 8 years 200m away, never heard of it before.

I won’t claim to be a Paris expert but I have spent a bit of time there as a tourist. Never heard of it either and I stayed just a few blocks from there four years or so ago.

I’m a frequent visitor to Paris, but coming from an upbringing with streets on grids, I’ve given up on learning any of them in European cities.

Basically the same and, well, now I want to go ;)

I don't have an Instagram account though...
