These various experiences lead me to the most privileged happenings in the City of Light and nurtured my strong desire to share my secret find of Paris and exchange with rest of the world. I lived in all the hippest neighborhood in Paris, le Marais, Canal st martin, Parc Monceau and Belleville, with the time I accumulated good knowledge and network of artists, galleries, designers, food shops, concept stores, cocktail bars and other off-the-beaten-track address. I love Paris as a local but also as a tourist, I have a strong passion to find the best-kept-secret and share my personal addresses to the ones who are curious to discover the hidden gems and sensitive to culture and human contacts. Art history from the Renaissance to the 20th century Civic Prevention and Rescue Level 1 I do not have a license to give tours inside of the historical monuments. I am not a driver.

The secret of luxury fashion houses

Fashion is such an emblematic element in French culture, French history, French daily life and French pride. Elegance and Parisian trend radiate in the entire world thanks to these great fashion designers who gave it its reputation. Creativity, know-how, tradition of excellence and predilection for handmade work in the workshops make Haute Couture a French exception.

Fashion is not only glamourous but also cultural, even more important it is a very serious business. I will share with you the most unexpected anecdotes of legendary designers and their ups and lows.
