'The Germans have a saying: Wie Gott in Frankreich, or more often, Leben Wie Gott in Frankreich, by which they mean “Living like God in France”. This expression seems to mean two things that are related: it parodies the belief of many that life in France, and in Paris in particular, was near to Paradise; and also the idea we express in our familiar Australian idiom as “Living the life of Riley”. Certainly, Paris was, and still is, seen by many as the greatest centre of European cultural life; and for the French, it is the centre.'
