Tarkhanov left for France as a correspondent for the Kommersant newspaper. Together with his family, he settled in Paris, where he lived in different quarters. At the moment, the journalist lives in the 13th quarter. “Every time the move followed some kind of necessity: where is the school for the children, where is it more convenient and where, finally, it is cheaper to live. And every time I was fascinated by a new life, ”the writer noted. According to Tarkhanov, the French capital can only be considered one of your own if you are born there.
The journalist also compared Paris to Moscow, noting that the Russian capital was more destroyed due to historical events. “It's cloudy in Moscow – the sun is shining in Paris. It is warm in Moscow in winter – cold in Paris. Moscow is more convenient – Paris is softer. Moscow is cleaner – Paris is more romantic. Moscow seems to be all in uniform, but in Paris there are only deserters, “Tarkhanov said.
