* I had to perfect my French diction so that it didn't sound fake. The round of applause I received when I spoke the language at the trailer launch in Paris was a reassurance.
* I allowed myself to settle into the local cafes and tiny eateries because it was crucial that I looked like a girl who was in love with her city. Parisians often grab a cup of coffee at a quaint caf&eacute; and gaze outside the windows.
* Your perspective of a city changes after you shop for groceries there. In Paris, they sell fresh produce on the streets and I picked a lot of colloquial quirks and mannerisms from the interactions I had with the fruit sellers and vegetable vendors.
* The scarves and bracelets that I grabbed from local boutiques and flea markets added to my character's personality. A typical charms bracelet with miniatures of all things peculiar to the city &ndash; Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Love Locks and the heart, a symbol of romance &ndash; is sported often by the citizens.
* Since Parisians cherish their holidays, I made it a point to indulge in the same activities that they partake in. I learnt to sit by the river Seine, break into impromptu dances and dig my teeth into ice creams. Paris is all about soaking the beauty in.
