I love to find a good Paris photo story that I haven\u2019t seen before, and this one that I found buried in Life magazine’s archives is a quite a treat. Veteran photographer for the magazine Loomis Dean followed a group of young students in 1961, getting an intimate peek into their lives as they pursued the bohemian dream in mid-century Paris.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

And you know what? It doesn\u2019t seem like much has changed. Clicking through, I noticed the routines didn\u2019t seem so different from the Paris I\u2019ve come to know today. Whether you start out in a tiny attic room or student dorms, throw yourself into the caf\u00e9 culture or lose yourself in art museums, Paris is more recogniseable than ever in this photo story from decades past\u2026<\/p>\n
