You arrive, you breathe, you think <em>\u201cOkay, I could live here.\u201d.<\/em> And then there are others\u2026 where after two days, even the coffee tastes like <em>\u201cI\u2019m not in the right place.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the strangest thing is, we can&#039;t always explain why.

You arrive, you put down your suitcase (the big one, the one that almost cost you an arm and a leg at the airport), and you just know. <em>It&#039;s there.<\/em> That&#039;s what I felt in Montreal. A kind of terrifyingly obvious truth, like: <em>\u00ab&quot;Ah, so this is where I was supposed to land.&quot;\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Montreal gave me permission to be loud, ambitious, a little messy, and proud of it. It taught me to say <em>\u00ab&quot;That&#039;s it&quot;\u00bb<\/em> with the same naturalness as a <em>\u00ab&quot;It&#039;s perfect.&quot;\u00bb<\/em> Parisian. Eight years. For eight years this city has been my playground, my personal laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then there are the cities that test you. Paris is definitely one of them. Paris doesn&#039;t love you right away: it evaluates you. It judges you on how you order a coffee and on your knowledge of the different districts. It&#039;s exhausting and magnetic. That&#039;s Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Morocco took me by surprise. I was expecting a vacation, but instead I got a gentle slap in the face\u2014a slap of colors, sounds, smells, life overflowing everywhere. A city like Marrakech doesn&#039;t leave you indifferent. It either sweeps you away or assaults you. For me, it was both at the same time, and I loved it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Montpellier, where I&#039;ve settled in right now, is still revealing its character to me. Luminous in the morning, a little overwhelming at midday, gentle when the sun skims the facades at the end of the day. A city that takes its time. That invites me, almost against my will, to take my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What if it wasn&#039;t just in our heads?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Okay, I can hear you from here: <em>\u00ab&quot;Julie, you&#039;re romanticizing it.&quot;\u00bb<\/em> Perhaps. But scientists are beginning to ask the same questions (with less romanticism and more statistics, admittedly).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a field of research called <strong><u>geopsychology <\/u><\/strong>The idea that places influence our personality traits, or that people who are similar tend to congregate in the same places. Probably both. Studies have measured significant differences in personality traits\u2014extraversion, openness to experience, conscientiousness\u2014depending on the region and city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words: no, you weren&#039;t dreaming. This city really did have a special energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#039;s be clear: a city has no conscience, nor character in the human sense.
