HENRIC
Teacher – Educator
We couldn't resist. Certainly, this colorful fashionista did not wander the streets of the Marais. But when we spotted this Swede in central Stockholm, the attraction was too strong.
“I have always loved life in color,” Henrik, who is a middle school teacher where he teaches disabled children, told us, as if it were obvious. It is also in this flashy outfit that he presents himself in front of his students. “Isn't the goal of education to make people accept differences without judging others and to allow children to be who they are? » says this teacher who – even in very progressive Sweden – sometimes receives surprised looks from parents.
It doesn't matter to him. The teacher imposed his look on everyone and even made an illustrated book entitled Stay strong be yourself just the way you are where he poses in a “flower power” outfit in front of the LGBTQIA+ rainbow flag.
The tattoos, which adorn his body, from the crest of an ice hockey team to the words LOVE and HATE printed on his knuckles like Robert Mitchum in Night of the Hunter? “It’s partly a youthful mistake,” he says before explaining that it is also a family tradition: “Since the XNUMXth century, all my ancestors were sailors,” concludes this descendant. of Vikings who are afraid of nothing. Especially not from what people will say.

THE MOOD MARSH
Divine brunch at the foot of Notre-Dame
Of course, officially, it is not the Marais. But at Son de la Terre, a barge recently moored at the Montebello quay (5th), the 4th arrondissement is in sight. Moreover, this one is incredible: on one side, it is Notre-Dame flooded with sunlight; on the other, the quays, the book sellers, the walkers, the joggers.
Saka, a cocktail bar like in Tokyo
Here is an address which gives the measure of the transformation of the Marais. And it's enough to silence the grumpy people whose mantra is: “It was better before…” No, everything was not better “before” in the Marais. Besides, there was no American bar like Saka, which cultivates a form of excellence that can only be found in Japan.
Jazz at 38Riv: The highlights of May
