With almost everything closed, it seems that the Parisian spirit faded away. We miss the city’s immense beauty and charm as well as going out to enjoy its countless restaurants and museums. Fortunately, there’s a wealth of Instagram accounts that bring back the City of Lights to life. Here are our favorite Instagrammers who encapsulate the very essence of Paris.

Paul Perrin
Paul Perrin is a young yet renowned art curator at the Musée d’Orsay who decided to share his knowledge through Instagram. He shows his work from the backstage perspective and shares fascinating information about art worth knowing. He also does virtual tours around Paris and its beautiful monuments. Paul Perrin also knows how to add a bit of fun to art by, for example, creating a real museum in Animal Crossing. His account is a unique Instagram gem that every art lover should follow.
Besides his passion for 19th-century art, Paul Perrin is also an artist himself. He depicts the city’s everyday life by drawing Parisians he sees in the streets. In October last year, the artistic curator launched another Instagram account called Parisian Walkers, where he posts his work.
