I Photograph Parisian Storefronts To Reveal The Story Of Paris Rarely Seen By Tourists (31 Pics)
After my adventures with Pixartprinting exploring the floors of Venice, Barcelona and London, the web to print company called me again to start a new and exciting project. It consists in discovering cities through their historical and beautiful storefronts.
Paris is so beautiful that travellers are often blinded by the glow of its tourist hot spots. But if you dig below the surface, you will uncover another story of the city. A story made by the people who put art and creativity at the core of their everyday life. A look inside some of the Paris shop fronts, at the life going on behind them, will bring you closer to the vibrant pulse of the city.
The beauty of Paris is more than its amazing museums and monuments. Ancient families of craftsman and young designers, food lovers and music addicts, even opticians and dry cleaners, display a unique savoir faire that adds creativity to everyday life. Their workshops, laboratories and boutiques tell a different tale of the city. Next time you go to Paris, take some time to delve into this world: you will not regret it.

I LOVE that they turned an old antique pharmacy turned into a restaurant; boutique bistro - it's wonderful to keep the old nostalgia and mix it with new! I wish I could see inside now too :)

This shop owner even looks 'young at heart' - the kid who never got older! His passion for children and their toys shows in his smile.
