An artist’s stroll around Paris — Introduction by Gérard Ramon

I’m lucky enough to be born and living all my life in Paris and so I’ve undertaken the arduous task of a graphic description of my city. Walking in the streets of Paris with a sketch book and a few pencils, taking in the air of the city, stopping to do a quick drawing or a watercolour… Isn’t it a dream for many artists? The atmosphere of Paris is so indefinable, its light so translucent; every street, every square a witness of its rich past and yet so modern and so full of life. With my drawings, I would like to invite you to walk with me along the river, to stride across its bridges, to sit on a terrace of a Paris bistro and watch the world go by, to discover or rediscover the city through the eyes of a Parisian. I tried to capture this mysterious “air de Paris”, this “je ne sais quoi” that makes Paris so different from any other city in the world. I didn’t think it possible, but with every new drawing, I was falling deeper and deeper in love with her, and I hope that you will, too.
