In the 15th century, this part of the 18th arrondissement (which at the time… Read more

Posted on May 7, 2014 by VINGT Editorial

  Words: Jill Pope Images: Alex Leggett I imagine that journalists the world over are united in their trepidation of interviewing people who have reached “legendary” status.
