Glimpses of Parisian Lifestyle and the Grandeur of the Region's Captivating Towers

If Parisians know how to do anything, it’s how to have a hot love affair with life. You’ll find them leisurely sitting by the ocean having a picnic, embracing each other in a passionate kiss, sauntering down the street taking their precious time or engaging in a passionate discussion about why French wines are the best in the world. For Parisians, the human experience is more about being than doing.
Here are charming ways that we can all live like Parisians:

Ease Into Your Day

Spend some time in a French Cafe or a serene garden, look around you and appreciate the bursting energy of life. It’s not always about burying your head tinkering your smart phones or laptop. Instead, sip your favourite cafe de crème, have a bite of French croissant while reading a good book. You can try to rediscover more people, talk to the person right next to where you sit and share a coffee chat with him or her. Paris lifestyle is just hanging around and embracing life slowly yet passionately.

Show Your Love

Parisians are romantic souls. They enjoy expressing themselves with emotion and passion. They love to tell friends or company how they feel, sharing many things about life. They love to hold hands, hug or even kiss their loved ones. So, if you see any Parisians walking around Shophouses, boutiques, retails stores, mall or even in the beach showing how they feel for their partners, don’t be surprised, Parisians are passionate and adoring when it comes to love and life.

Eat for Pleasure and be Slim

The French seem to have their cake and eat it too. Yes, I’m talking about those slim physiques and rich foods co-existing in a pleasurable way of eating. Are they just genetically gifted? Mais non! They have just learned the art of dining, which includes moderation, fresh foods and no guilt.

Sunday is Passionate Day

In Paris, most stores are closed and restaurants are open, forcing you to focus on the truly important things in life – family, friends and food. Sunday for every Paris folk is a day to free up your mind from life stress, have fun and unwind. It’s a day of doing nothing, except what you truly want to do.

Be in your best look

Parisians are fashion people, they love to dress well, show their smart look and feels like every day is a runway show in the street. We simply put it – they love fashion. Women are always thinking how to look best and aesthetically conscious. Men are more aggressive in making themselves attractive and charming. They choose well what to wear and often show their flair for colors. They love to spray perfume or scents to be more attractive to everybody. Parisian loves to show their sexiness that speaks about their love for looks and romance.

Simple Life is inspiring

Why do the French seem to have more time to enjoy life? It’s because they haven’t inundated themselves with a lot of stressful things, too much stuff and booked calendars. The more simple your life, the richer it becomes.

One of the greatest takeaways when you’re in Paris is the desire to simplify life down to only those things that most of us treasure most – love, relationship, relaxing and enjoying luxury.  Simple things paired with the relationships with people that they love feeds their soul.

Essential Condo Facts to Consider Before Getting Your Own Condo

Purchasing a condo can very well be one of the best decisions that you have ever made. Having your own condo unit will allow you to save money, resources and benefit from its existing amenities, as well as conveniences that come along with it. It may not be house and lot package but we’re sure it has its own unique lifestyle package that will define your modern approach to stylized living and investment option that would allows you to gain something unique, priceless and inspiring.  Here are five benefits of buying a condo...

1. Owning a condo offers much of the same benefits of owning a house. Condo or house? First time home buyers are often faced with this dilemma. Making the decision to purchase a condo or a single-family home can be difficult. However, owning a condo is often an easier decision as the hassles of exterior “home maintenance” is taken care of.  Plus, residing within a building with gated underground parking provides additional security that is not available within a single-family residence.
2. Condominium owners have access to many amenities that are definitely lifestyle-defining and exceptional compared to a house and lot set-up. Condominium or residential towers will allow residents to gain access to a classy amenity deck located on a specific floor which include a swimming pool, pool lounge, a Jacuzzi, mini-pocket garden with benches, reading nook, outdoor cabanas, open-air spa, fitness gym, mini sky gardens and many other types. Lifestyle amenities vary which depends on the concept or theme of a residential tower. It can either be located altogether in one area or separately. Some residential towers have their Daycare for parents who wanted to leave their kids attended and taken cared of during busy days. Some have function rooms for special occasions. Most condo or residential tower have their own spacious main lobby that often reflects the theme or concept of the edifice.
3. Condominium owners save money. Possibly the biggest benefit of buying a condo is that you can expect to save money on maintenance fees and utility costs. All condominium owners must pay a monthly Homeowner’s Association Fee (HOA).  This fee covers the cost of maintaining the condo building. For instance landscaping, cleaning of the swimming pool and elevator maintenance are all covered under the HOA.  Since everyone in the building is required to pay an HOA fee, this expense is shared amongst all owners. Not only do the condo fees contribute to the building maintenance, but they also cover common area building electricity and exterior common area water costs.
4. Most condo owners pay lower property taxes. Generally, condo owners pay less in property taxes than traditional single-family homeowners due to the fact that the land value is a shared value. Foreigners can also have the chance to own their condominium when they buy a unit.
5. Safety and security are guaranteed when you own a condo since this is a shared community and it is the obligation of the developer to ensure the welfare of condo owners. Most condo or residential towers have tight security aside from having attractive amenities and scenery. CCTVs are readily available, guests and visitors entries are well-monitored by security personnel and state-of-the-art facilities pertaining to security ensures the confidence and trust of homeowners.

French architecture has been shaped and influenced by various era of art and culture. It defined one of the most enduring designs in history brought into our modern world.

Early French Architecture

The earliest surviving architecture in France dates to the Stone Age, as a number of prehistoric sites in Brittany attest. Classical architecture was introduced into the south of France during the Roman conquest in the 1st century A.D. Well-preserved examples of Roman architecture include the Maison Carrée and the Pont du Gard near Nîmes. Scant traces remain of the early development of Gallic architecture, including Early Christian, Merovingian, and Carolingian buildings. The Roman basilica form predominated and, during the Carolingian period, was greatly enriched by design innovations.

The Flowering of French Architecture

Innovations manifested in Carolingian buildings gave rise to the architecture of the Romanesque period, when many fine works were executed in France, and to the great cathedrals of the Gothic style, of which France was the principal center - Romanesque architecture and art, Gothic architecture and art. Many superb medieval monuments are still extant, including St. Sernin, Toulouse (1080–1120) and Chartres Cathedral (begun 1194).

The Renaissance

The revival of classical art and architecture during the Renaissance spread from Italy to France in the 15th and 16th century, giving rise to the majority of the famous French châteaux, primarily in the Loire valley. During the first half of the 16th century, Francis I established his court at Fontainebleau outside Paris, where he employed numerous Italian architects and artists, including Sebastiano Serlio, Il Rosso, and Francesco Primaticcio. At the same time native architects came into favor; they included Pierre Lescot, who built parts of the Louvre (begun 1546), and Philibert Delorme, who designed the Château of Anet (1547–55).
