We met Paul-Henry a year ago at the flea market on rue de Bretagne. Here we cross his path again. This time, he is accompanied by the one he spoke to us about with emotion during our previous meeting: Olympe. If Paul-Henry is an assumed dandy, Olympe is his feminine counterpart. This designer’s hobby? Customize, with meticulousness, the accessories that she sells and that she wears. Together, Olympe and Paul-Henry form a model couple, extremely elegant and deliciously old-fashioned. Even the first names!

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.
