Paris is a city of a thousand faces, romantic and modern. Parisians navigate everyday through profound culture and history. Paris has always been a haven for the creatives of the world, from jazz artists of Saint-Germain-des-près, to the Beaux-Arts painters, sketching on the Quais in front of the Louvre. To the designers of the Marais neighbourhood, through to the youth of Pigalle and Barbes who stay reinventing the city.
