Junhee Kim, the founder and designer behind Mont Kiji, invites us into her Paris—full of beautiful detours, local discoveries, and quiet creative sparks.

No Tickets, No Plan

Maison de l’Amérique Latine is on Boulevard Saint-Germain. They always have exhibitions. It’s free, well-curated, and usually on something I’ve never really thought of before.

When I don’t have time to book things in advance, I just walk there and see what’s showing. It’s a quick fix.

Inside Tip 🪄

There’s a garden out back, and a restaurant and bar as well.
