Paris as usual.
Paris’ grandeur is inspiring but what I love most about the city is its intimacy. Its quartiers (quarters) are like a patchwork of villages, and while it’s one of the world’s major metropolises – with all of the culture and facilities that go with it – there’s a real sense of community at the local shops, markets and cafes that hasn’t changed since my childhood. Yet because every little ‘village’ has its own evolving character I’m constantly discovering and rediscovering hidden corners of the city.

Am feeling a little envious of your photography skills tbh… Totally agree about the village feel to the quartiers, makes Paris really special.

It’s such a privilege to live in Paris! Especially for an artist!
