English term

my little Paris

Non-PRO English Art/Literary Advertising / Public Relations (looking for a synonym) Parisian French are really welcome to answer
This talks about what's happening in the city and so far,I have:
Paris Eclipse (copyright) but more suggestions from creative thinkers evoking spontaneity would be super.
Play on words are great too.

Thank you !!

PS. Where is the spell checker here?

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): Michael Beijer

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

What have you used? What answer was found? Thanks.
Anna Maria Augustine (X) (asker) Aug 12, 2010:
Slogan thanks... ...
Travelin Ann Aug 12, 2010:
Please give us the context in which it is used Is it a title of a book, a guidebook, a slogan for a product?
Anna Maria Augustine (X) (asker) Aug 12, 2010:
No Ann, it is not that. I've checked with client and they want alternatives to name suggested but it does not seem to be appropriate for translators.
Travelin Ann Aug 12, 2010:

I can't understand the question either! What is the context of the phrase "my little Paris" please?
writeaway Aug 12, 2010:
What's the question? I don't understand what the question is.
Anna Maria Augustine (X) (asker) Aug 12, 2010:
Yes Michael. Something like:
A synonyme is needed for my little Paris.

That's what the translation client has asked for and the text is about what happening in town.
Michael Beijer Aug 12, 2010:
'Romantic Paris', 'Gay Paree', 'The City of Love', 'Paris by Night', 'Paris for Lovers' ... etc. As Tony said, we need a bit more context before setting sail across the Metaphor Sea.
Tony M Aug 12, 2010:
Paris Eclipse ? I can't help feeling that this would be rather negative-sounding for any sort of a marketing context? Hence why it's so important for us to know what this is all in aid of...

'eclipse' tends to suggest darkness, overhsadow, hiding something... rather the opposite of sparkling city nightlife, if that's the image you're trying to convey?
Tony M Aug 12, 2010:
Context Note that this isn't really and truly a 'terminology' question.

I think it will be really impossible to help you without having some more context, like what kind of document this is for, what it's about, and what sort of 'feeling' is needed for this piece of copywriting?
Michael Beijer Aug 12, 2010:
One question first ... Anna, I'm not sure I understand your question. You are looking for something that describes (a small ... spontaneous ....) Paris? Or is the actual English sentence: "A synonyme [sic] is needed for my little Paris"?

Although I must admit that I still don't really know what your question is, I have made a guess.
