Art galleries blossom here: all the au courant artists of this old, magical city live and work in this area. Paris has always embraced modernity and the Avant Garde while maintaining a solemn, cogent appreciation of its history.

You sense something intuitively which you can't explain rationally: a powerful presence or energy emanates from one door that is just slightly ajar. You must go in, curious soul that you are...
