What do you think of Paris?

Paris is like a fairytale for me. I come from a very young country, so to go to a place with so much history is inspiring and magical.

What are your favorite places in Paris?

When I’m working in Paris, I’ll stay in the first arrondissement because it’s very chic and beautiful and it’s the center of everything. St. Germain des Près is another favorite because I find more of an artistic feeling there. I love the Café de Flore and the Café Les Deux Magots and the connection those places have to Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. I love visiting the Louvre to see art that most people only get to see in picture books. To experience it for real is so beautiful and inspiring. I love the Marais for its history and architecture and the interesting people who live there today.

Where do you go to relax in Paris?

The Tuilleries Gardens. Just walking through the streets in Paris is relaxing because there’s so much to see.

Describe the style of the women in the cities you travel to most frequently.

With European women, there’s a charm and an elegance. Parisian women in particular manage to be discreet and elegant at the same time and make it look effortless.
