Wow. Just after the -ist family expanded to Asia and the City of Brotherly Love, our bosses up at Gothamist let us know that Parisist, the first -ist site in a city to use the Euro and the first to be in a different language (French, natch), is open for business. We’re excited to have them aboard, though our decidedly elementary French can only parse out that they’re writing about a big festival with kebabs and reggae, Parisian architecture, and what we’re pretty sure means celebrities moving around Paris. Hmm. Looks like it’s time to break out the Google translator, though that can sometimes produce comical results. That won’t keep us from reading on July 24th (err, 24 Juillet) for the final stage of the Tour.

We’re sure there are some of you with significantly better French skills than us who’ll enjoy reading Parisist. But all those crazy marks on the letters make our eyes hurt. Still — nifty logo! From left to right, you’ll see the I.M. Pei Pyramid at the Louvre, Le Cathedrale Notre Dame de Paris, La Tour Eiffel, and L’Arc de Triomphe.

DCist apologizes in advance for our butchering of the French language, notre petite chou-chou.
