During lockdown, le Marais Mood remains open.
After a slight initial astonishment, due to this damn virus, here is the editorial staff back on deck. Of course, we have reduced sail area and our room for manoeuvre is de facto limited by the general economic paralysis. This one, let us not forget, is temporary.
In any case, the Maraisiens who stayed in the neighbourhood (about 1 Parisian out of 5 has gone to the countryside ; in le Marais the proportion is even higher) will have noticed that the empty streets have a déjà vu look. The resemblance with the first fortnight of August is indeed striking, apart from the FFP2 masks on the face of course !
The good news is that le Marais is as splendid as ever and that Le Marais Mood is as eager as ever to pay homage to him thanks to this local medium of which we are proud.
In the name of all our readers, we take advantage of this strange "Coronavirian" parenthesis to warmly thank all those who, year in and year out, continue to keep the neighbourhood going. Thank you, therefore, to all the essential shopkeepers, supermarket cashiers, garbage collectors, postmen and pharmacists.
And thanks to you who keep on reading us, more and more numerous. Waiting for the end of containment !

The panoramic life of Albert Moser
Albert Moser is lucky : he sees life from a panoramic perspective ! Long before the invention of the iPhone and the "pano photo" option, this American from New Jersey, born in 1928, began photographing the world by adding 10x15 format shots and recomposing the images to create a panoramic image....
