When I arrived in Paris, 1 explored the city from end to end in search of its secrets. I met dedicated women and men : artisans, antique dealers, bookbinders, pâtissiers, and more. These are the people who shaped my Paris : a Paris of savoir faire and skills passed down with patience. This book is an invitation to discover the capital differently, to take a journey back in time and honor a way of living and creating.
All of the addresses featured here have prevailed for decades, and some even for centuries. I have kept them to myself for a long time, like precious treasures. Today, it's time for me to share with you my forever Paris.
