People

One of my greatest joys is meeting people whose lives have been changed by Paris forever, and talking to them about it.

So this section is perhaps the most precious of all on the Paris Set Me Free site. Thank you to all my wonderful interviewees for giving us a glimpse of your world, and what matters to you.

Here are some of the excellent in-depth interviews, with photos, which will be appearing in the next few days on Paris Set Me Free:

Sylvia Whitman - legendary left-bank bookshop Shakespeare & Company will never be the same, and never better, since iconic George Whitman's delightful daughter took over at the helm with his blessing

Leonard Pitt - modest but magnificent Paris chronicler, author of a fascinating book comparing the past and the present through old photos and modern shots, offers us his heartfelt feelings on the capital he is still in love with

Victoria Vesta - a self-invented 'pleasure coach', this charming and sensitive American lady loving life on the Left Bank invites us to discover her world of sensual pleasures, sexual awareness and psychological liberation from repressed frustrations and pain

Come back shortly and you will be able to read these fascinating interviews and more. If you know of an English-speaking person whose life is intricately linked to Paris and who you think would be a good interviewee, then please get in touch.
