Cologne hosts one of the biggest French communities in Germany, including artists, chefs, CEOs of CAC40 companies… Colognian even speak French in every day: Trottewar (trottoir), Plümo (Plumeau), Paraplü (Parapluie), Kanapee (canapé) and do it avec Pläsier (plaisir)!
In 3 hours by train from Dom-Stadt is “Ville Lumière” and “Capitale de l’Amour”, la belle Paris ! Oh, Paris, tu fais rêver, you make us dream. Der Dom (157 m) secretly admires La Tour Eiffel (330 m), who is 2 times taller than Dom, but still cannot be seen beyond the horizon. So they visit each other regularly thanks to Eurostar train link. Sometimes Dom takes its chaise-longue and goes westbound to Eifel (a forest and old volcano next to Cologne) to sit on a volcano of its emotions for the beautiful Eiffel… oh yes, it has just 1 “F” less, but makes Dom feel closer to Eiffel. Dom is so sentimental. Quel pläsier de vivre.
