To me I do like Paris

Paris is not a cold city, face and soulless, etc.. Strolling through the streets and catch Stendhal syndrome as one who grabs a cold comes absolutely free.

Savonlinna Castle, magic south of finland

What good taste for war! The Scandinavians decorated their fortresses with lakes and circular towers, with the magic of the environment, to give a certain aesthetic to the presence of death. This is how battles were fought in the 15th century in Finland.
