The Sacred Monster Guide to Paris
Putting this behind a paywall because I believe in gatekeeping.
Bonjour à tous et à toutes,
I am here to deliver something that has been often asked of me, but until now decided to keep to myself: my Paris recommendations.
Living in a city that is relies on the tourist economy, sometimes I feel like I live in a theme park (sorry, not sorry to the many visitors to whom I have barked ‘il y a des gens qui habitent ici, ce n’est pas Disneyland’ when they ignore their surroundings and block sidewalks, doorways, metro turnstiles and more in their pursuit of posting to social media.) It is also a place I (begrudgingly, but genuinely) love, and I try to keep my favorites to myself so as to avoid the internet virality that has rendered too many of my former standbys utterly and totally unvisitable (see: Shakespeare & Company and Officine Buly.)
There is only one shopping recommendation in here, for a bookstore. The rest relate to sensory pleasures: food, wine, and experience.
I will reveal some my sacred spaces… for now. Only behind the paywall, but I can’t open the gates too much…
