The Future is Female! Happy International Women's Day wherever you are reading this. You are enough. And on that note, I woke up wanting to highlight and share some of the amazing women you need to know in Paris. That I admire and love to see do their thing.

This list if just the beginning, I want it to be a community[...]

I'd highly recommend reservations as they can get quite busy. So it's a great place f[...]
France is in mourning. Rest in peace Johnny holiday. The rock star and "French Elvis" died at age 74 from lung cancer yesterday. I never fully understood the love relationship between France and Johnny Hallyday (also why he had an American sounding name?!) He was born Jean-Philippe Léo Smet.
