City Guides

I’ve always been fascinated by the way cities grow. How streets align, how monuments rise, and how, over centuries, a city like Paris tells its story through its layout. Paris isn’t just a patchwork of iconic sights—it’s a living, breathing design. And if you look closely, some patterns start to emerge. One of these patterns is the Historical Axis of Paris, a straight line that cuts across the city. You may have walked parts of it without even realising.
