This is Paris - the most visited and photographed City in the world .

It’s said that picture can replace a thousand words and I hope that the photographs I’ve taken in the last 15 years will make you pack your suitcases and visit it this year.

Discover architectural wonders, artistic treasures, French gourmet cuisine and wine shops, chic boutiques, vintage shops and flea markets, art and antique dealers, and festivals and events in Paris.

I’ve visited more than 70 countries and lived in a few, but I decided to settle here.

Let my inspirational photos bring you to this magical City of Light.
