Haussmann heritage (open collection - framed print) · Paris · 2015

They all said it's different when you live there. Paris. Worse they meant, but when I lived there it was better. The best. The Paris you live in is the best Paris. Those who were born into it don't understand the Paris that is Paris by choice. Other cities have old towns. Paris is the old town, head to toe and back, both sides of the Seine. Paris is alive with frenzy and filth, smells so so good and so so bad. Paris is dense and loud and full. A never-ending story with every happy ending in the book, but first you gotta twist with the twists and wade through the grime in that gardenless pit.
