I was born in Marseille and I have lived in Paris since 1989 and have never tired of exploring the city on foot and by bike. I still feel like a tourist. As a lover of old books about Paris and a professional photographer, I am interested in the small details that remind us that Parisians lived here, in these streets, before us, and that it is easy to bring their memory back to life. My passion for old books and photography led me to write about fifteen guidebooks on Paris, published by Parigramme. Some have been translated in the United States, China, and Japan. I have also worked for the press, notably Paris Match, L'Express, VSD, and Historia, mainly on Parisian topics.
