Anand Mahindra, who reached Paris last week for the Bastille Day celebration, is busy exploring the streets of the city of love. Taking to social media, the Mahindra Group Chairman dedicated an adorable note to the fashion capital of the world. The 69-year-old — who has been exploring the city on foot — realised that «Paris hasn't lost any of its magic.» In his thoughtful post, the auto boss called Paris the best 'walking city' in the world.

As he cross various store windows and cafes, he saw mystery and art everywhere in the capital city of France. Mahindra, in his post, said that even when eateries and restaurants stack up the outdoor furniture at the end of the day, it appears like an «art installation.» He wrote in his tweet, «Paris hasn’t lost any of its magic. This is the best ‘walking’ city in the world.

Around every corner, in every store window, lies something that is mysterious & surprising. And even when cafés stack their furniture at the close of the day, those stacks look designed, like an art installation…» Mahindra also shared pictures from his excursion. Last week, Mahindra was thrilled to see the Champs Élysées — a famous street in Paris — come alive with the desi favour of 'Josh' as the Indian military forces proudly marched during the Bastille Day parade.

However, he admitted that he was «obviously… a ‘bit’ biased.» Mahindra also said that he was proud to see India claim the most significant percentage of female commercial and air force pilots among the world's most developed aviation markets. After the Bastille Day celebrations on July 14, French President Emmanuel Macron hosted a banquet dinner for Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his two-day visit to France at Paris’ Louvre Museum.
