Junhee Kim, founder of Mont Kiji, shares her favorite places and quiet inspirations from life on the Left Bank.
Gallery Martinez D. has been here a long time. They specialize in old prints and hold regular exhibitions. They’re just a few doors down from me. It’s the kind of gallery that gives the street its soul.
These places matter. I walk by almost every day. It’s quiet, but if you step inside, there’s always something inspiring on the walls.
