Answer preview
From my understanding, how somebody described Paris solely lay on the individual’s ideas that were confirmed by how they viewed the city. For instance, Allen et al. (2011) offered a personalized glimpse of his Paris in the sense that it was described in terms of monuments and cafes, rainy strolls and glistening lights. Additionally, Allen argued that music and not mere words could elaborately characterize the panoramic view of the city. Therefore, through the characters (Inez and Gil), they brought out their observations about the city of Paris. For example, Inez told Gil that according to him Paris only exists in the phenomenology of his perception.
