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 best tattoo parlors in Marais
Tattooing, an age-old practice, has long been the prerogative of convicts, dock workers, the underworld and sailors. Although it has become democratized, now affecting all profiles and concerning one in five French people, including 16% women compared to 10% men, it still remains taboo due to its definitive and transgressive nature.
