Olivier Magny talks about Parisians and their way of living in his blog stuff parisians like. He gives a fun  insight of who they are and I’m almost jealous he run this project. I should have had the idea before ! All his thoughts have been published in a book. Now on the best bookshops !

« Dessine-moi un Parisien », d’Olivier Magny, éditions 10-18, 220 p., 12,50 €.

The title was inspired by the famous sentence of The little prince of Saint Exupery who hears “Dessine-moi un mouton“ Will you draw me a sheep

France had an important North African immigration specially from Algeria and Morocco which means the country got to know a great amount of new way of living from which hamman steam Rooms where you hang out with friends. Skins pores opens and all the dirt is ready to be kicked off. Once you’re ready, a woman brings you to a room. You lay on a table and she cleans you with black soap and special massage glove as if you were a baby. It feels so good. The skin turns amazingly soft. Most of the time, the house offers you mint tea and makrout – pastries- I would highly recommand the steam room in Winter. Here some of the best in Paris. Count 60 euros for at least 2.30 hours.

New Morning might be the best musical place in Paris for its programs. It’s a jazz spot that brings a lot of soul and funk. From Art Blakey to Dizzie Gillpesie and Gil Scott Heron, all the great afro american musicians stop by The new Morning. In July Prince showed up on stage at 2.30. Booker T performed just before. Tonight the amazing and lovely Nikky Yanosky performed.
