Walk Through the Streets of Paris in These 4 Films

"Midnight in Paris"

This film will bring you through the most beautiful areas of Paris and a glimpse into the city's magical past. "Midnight in Paris" follows American screenwriter, Gil Pender, through his adventures around Paris and a mysterious journey through the past.

One night as Gil wander the streets of Paris, a 1920s car pulls up beside him. The passengers, dressed in 1920s-era clothing, urge him to accompany them to a party. However, when Gil arrives at the party, he soon realizes that he is no longer in the year 2010…but has traveled back to the 1920s. As lover of the roaring 20s, Gil feels right at home, but he soon finds himself back in the year 2010. Night after night, Gil escapes the present to party with the Fitzgeralds and share drinks with Ernest Hemingway.

"Charade"

This film stars two Hollywood legends: the always perfect Audrey Hepburn and the charming Cary Grant. Unlike others, "Charade" spans three genres; comedy, romance and thriller.

Filmed in Paris, this film follows Reggie (Hepburn) as she tries to uncover the truth behind her husband's death. Regina is vacationing in the mountains when she meets a handsome stranger, Peter (Grant). On her return to Paris, Reggie comes home to an empty apartment and a dead husband. Peter, the mysterious yet charming stranger, finds Regina and helps her out…or does he have other intentions for this newly widowed woman with a large missing fortune? With spies, murder, witty humor and an unlikely love connection, this film is one you will not soon forget.


"Moulin Rouge!"

This film captures the magic and mystery of Paris. From the outlandish characters to the glamorous musical numbers, "Moulin Rouge!" is a film that will make you feel as if you are witnessing a true Parisian cabaret.

The film tells the tragic love story of a young man, Christian, who goes to Paris to pursue his dreams of becoming a writer. However, Christian soon finds himself lost in love with the star of the Moulin Rouge, cabaret dancer Satine. Satine rejects his love for her, but as they work together on a show, Satine begins to fall in love with Christian, until tragedy strikes. Filled with humor, drama and mystery, you will feel as if you have transported to a front row seat at the authentic Moulin Rouge in Paris.


"The Pink Panther"

We all know the original "The Pink Panther" cartoon, but few remember the films.

Set in Paris, the film follows French police inspector Jacques Clouseau. Clouseau is a humorous and often clumsy inspector on the hunt for a jewel thief known as “The Phantom.” On the trail to capture the thief, Clouseau always seems to look in all the wrong places and finds himself being questioned in court about whether he is in fact “The Phantom.” Although not filmed in Paris, this film captures the bustle of life through the streets of the famous city in the 1960s. With its slapstick comedy and twist and turns, this film is one to remember.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
