NOMADS: Julien Guerrier
“Wandering is human. Strolling is Parisian” says Victor Hugo. In this third episode of our series Nomads, we had a pleasant walk in Paris with Julien Guerrier, editor in chief of City Guides. He revealed us his three favorite addresses in Paris, which always have a relation to Japan. Discover those places and feel the air of Nippon, composing one of the modern charms in this metropolitan city.
