Whenever I am in the city, I like to think I can reach my home by just getting in my car and driving off. While in France, I have found it difficult to be able to imagine myself not being surrounded by buildings, not being able to see more than down a perfect street with no buildings for at least a mile in front of me, but that is not the reality of Paris unless I travel away from the city. Maybe it is the fact I grew up in a city where there are many open spaces with high and low points, with no buildings that are next to each other covering up what is around me. Paris denies me the feel of the outside world beyond the limitations of buildings and trapped open spaces with seemingly happy people. Am I the fake person coming to Paris? Are we happy in the US or do I confide in the unfamiliarity of this new place I never expected to visit? The Albert Khan Garden: open and yet surrounded by the city.

Biography

Early life

He was born Abraham Kahn in Marmoutier, Bas-Rhin, France, on 3 March 1860, the eldest of four children of Louis Kahn, a Jewish cattle dealer, and Babette Kahn (née Bloch), an uneducated homebound mother.

Kahn's mother died when he was ten years old, and, following the German annexation of Alsace-Lorraine in 1871, the Kahn family moved to Saint-Mihiel in north-eastern France in 1872, where he continued his studies at the Collège de Saverne from 1873 to 1876.

In 1879, Kahn became a bank clerk in Paris but studied for a degree in the evenings. His tutor was Henri Bergson, who became his lifelong friend.

I have traveled all around the world, if you count a handful of states in America and a study abroad trip to Paris, France as traveling around the world. While I’m not well traveled yet, I would like to think that me running around Antarctica one week and then being served mojitos in Hawaii the next is in my near future. As I have been told by my family multiple times: I’m crazy, none of them understand my love for travel or the idea that I want to see the entire world. Every time I visit a new place, I feel a slight pain knowing that I will never know everybody’s go to coffee shop or favorite park. Knowing that I will never get to see every single part of the world is the equivalence to being told you can’t eat your entire plate after having been starving for days. I have never found someone else who shares, or is willing to admit they share, this feeling with me but I suspect that Albert Khan was a travel junkie just like me. Albert Khan was a banker and French philanthropist who in 1909 traveled to Japan on business and after returning home became inspired to collect “a photo
