Tell us about how come this idea of your Creative project and your Instagram account @parisianfloors?
The idea for the “Parisian Floors” project came after a trip to Marrakech in spring this year, where I had to photograph some interiors. On a day off, I took a tour around the city and went to the Bahia Palace, where I noticed the beautiful and colourful mosaic floors. I started taking some pictures of the floor and my feet.
Back in Paris, I started noticing the different tiles and mosaic floors all over the city. I saw them in bistros, cafés, hallways, galleries and some other public buildings. Five months ago, I began taking pictures of these fabulous tiles and included my feet to give it more of a human touch and to show that these are really floors and not some wall tiles.

Why do you love the tiles so much?
I am not sure if I would call it “love”. It’s rather an appreciation of the beauty and work that got into them.
You make the Parisian discover their city in a such different way, in one word what is the Paris’experience for you?
“Exciting”
