Feature Arnaud CHICUREL / hemis.fr
Is there a Paris syndrome? There are some travellers who have described the unique emotions and spiritual feelings certain far-off cities inspire. The French capital is also likely to cause vertigo, so numerous are the magnificent buildings dotted all over it. Entire neighborhoods, perspectives and a river are their backdrop. The visitor who takes the trouble of pacing the city, walking up and down its streets, discovers countless rows of historical monuments. There has blown in Paris a strong wind of human ingenuity. At least this is what comes to mind each time our daring photographer Arnaud CHICUREL takes a photo from his make-shift perch. Book and feature by Arnaud CHICUREL for Hemis Text on request
