If you are one of those who share this opinion, you will no doubt be delighted when you discover the Instagram account that we present today. Created and powered by photographer Raphaël Metivet, the latter gives pride of place to Haussmannian buildings for which Paris is famous, but also to hidden terraces and the breathtaking view offered by the rooftops of the capital. "I am passionate about architecture, and I must admit that Paris offers a varied history through its facades: from the Haussmannian style - harmonious and very codified - to Art Nouveau, more romantic and rich in allegorical ornaments and sculptures. Photography allows me to share this richness, mainly via Instagram. I also try to photograph people on their balconies or in their windows, in order to tell a story, ”Raphaël Metivet explained in the columns of Vogue.
