Paris. Sound level, locations, specifics

Paris is full of noises whereever you go.
We use to associate Paris with many things – good or specific – whatever, but extra sound.
However, upon having taken an intent look, one discovers a universe of noise consisting of planets alike Bastille, Republique, Gare de l’Est, Rivoli and others forming enormous sound system to play on.

Listen to Saint Denis area – the one appearing more than boisterous – down here.

Luckily, we even happened to dash against some locations, in which booth of silence was
to fit in easily – yet with a little help of our own imagination.
