--01 How is Paris nowadays?

It's great! We (Parisians) love to complain about the city but we are well served in terms of culture, food and fashion.

--02 Where is your happy place/sanctuary in Paris and why?

My sanctuary will always be my house, but my happy place would be the Palais de Tokyo. It is a bit strange but I have always loved wondering there since I'm a teen, outside of the art, I just feel it is an amazing building. 

--03 What do you think is the most interesting creative scene in the city right now?

In full honesty, I feel it is quite hard to mention specific interesting creative scenes without having to do your research. Also Paris is quite eclectic in terms of style, but whenever I want to discover something new, I usually check what is happening at a few places such as 3537, La Gaîté Lyrique, Le Centquatre and Le Hasard Ludique.

Of course there are a lot of galeries and small independent collectives organising artistic events all year long, for example the 229 Lab.

--04 What are 3 places in Paris (bars, clubs, restaurants, stores...) you would bring a friend visiting you to?

I guess I would try to look at three drastically different places and locations to give a broad view on Paris. We would probably go for an amazing dinner at Majcha followed by drinks as Bisou. and then finish the night at Silencio.

--05 What is something you believe Paris is currently missing?

Paris is missing more cultural/social places. I feel that since the closing of Colette, there has been no real space of cultural hangout in the industry outside of 3537, but once again this place is not here forever. Maybe I am just not searching hard enough for these places or maybe they are not being advertised enough.
