Second thing, I'm not native English and if you guys want to correct me on such details, then just go learn 3 other languages and come back to talk with me...
ok.
you really won't let up on this, so let me explain it really carefully and slowly, as someone with a keen interest in history and perfect command of the english language.
when you're referring to something as ancient with regard to history, it refers to the time prior to the fall of the roman empire. paris was around in antiquity too, so ancient paris could refer to roman/celtic paris. ~200 years ago isn't classified as ancient, sorry. ancient != old
