ethnic vibe and other questions

[Eway]

Dear Teachers,

I read these from True Pleasures by Lucinda Holdforth:

1. The real Paris, modern Paris, with its clochards and dog poo and ethnic vibe and snobbery and local corruption...

What does "ethnic vibe" mean?

2. I did not feel too much part of modern Paris, which would not have suited my taste nor my resources, ...

What does "suit my resources" mean?

3. I ... gaze back across to Notre-Dame, the greatest dame of all. But her fixity, her grand monolithic bulk, doesn't enchant me. It's the flesh and blood women who fascinate: women in flux, in progress, in self-discovery, in the act of creation.

"It's the flesh and blood women who fascinate" seems fragmental to me. And I don't get the idea...

Dear Teachers,

What does "ethnic vibe" mean? the "Frenchness" of Paris that makes it different from Berlin or London or Madrid.

2. I did not feel too much part of modern Paris, which would not have suited my taste nor my resources, ...

What does "suit my resources" mean? I can't afford it

3. I ... gaze back across to Notre-Dame, the greatest dame of all. But her fixity, her grand monolithic bulk, doesn't enchant me. It's the flesh and blood women who fascinate: women in flux, in progress, in self-discovery, in the act of creation.

"It's the flesh and blood women who fascinate" seems fragmental to me. And I don't get the idea... It is a stylistic fragmentation: "It's the flesh and blood women who fascinate [who are fascinating].
