Have you noticed how good people look at night?
Paris and Parisians grow bright and witty when the sun goes down. I fell in love with the people of the night. When you go out enough, you start dividing the world in two: daytime Parisians and night-time Parisians. I mean all sorts of strange and exotic creatures.
These characters, of all different sexual orientations, have a ball and give themselves over to the night.

Thankfully, the night never has and never will cease to be a perpetual stage for different scenes. Idlers, artists, punks or dandies, they all tell stories of beauty, decadence and revolt.
The nights I enjoy are the ones gathering those who create and light up true Parisian nightlife, its characters, its intrigues, and at times, its filth.

My muses may not be yours, my monsters may not please you.
