It's time to thank all those through the ages who have worked in often very harsh conditions and whose work has made Paris the beautiful city it is today. Yes, let's pay tribute to all the artists, craftsmen, workers, weavers, gold leaf appliers, glass blowers, master ceramics creators, sculptors… Everything that we marvel at in this city has been carefully created by collective effort and collective talent…

For May we have visited two prestigious places where workmanship shines through, tested a legendary brasserie for you, and our photographer of the month even cancelled his stay in Cannes to spend a night at the Hotel de la Sorbonne

Paris is just so beautiful in the Spring. Come and see!
