ANNA
With her “effortless” look, simple, effective and therefore effortless, Anna, a Polish woman, was ready to explore the “city of lights”. It's in Haut-Marais in front of the trendy 0fr bookstore. that we met her. Surprised that we were interested in her little black and white look, she later told us that it was inspired by the singer Aaliyah.
But first, she tried to escape our fashion police before offering a shy “yes, I want to be photographed”, overcoming her shyness. Once the photo session was over, the young woman slipped through our fingers because she didn't want to make the friend who accompanied her wait another minute.
“In the Marais, I like the dense construction of the buildings, the labyrinthine side of the small streets, the public gardens – the Square du Temple, the Place des Vosges… – and above all the diversity of people, styles, lifestyles” , blurted out the young Polish woman, who had come to the Marais as a neighbor.
“I’ve been living in Paris, in the 11th, for “half a year,” she says nicely.
This fleeting moment made us think of this sentence from actor Patrick Timsit: “Shyness is a terrible fault, it masks all your qualities. »

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
