Paris & cities in France

In 2021, I started a travel writing project on the city.  I focus on banal places,  peripheries and prevailing atmospheres. I walk or get around by public transport. You can follow these adventures on X ex-Twitter @IanaDreyerCITIES . My journey began in Paris in 2020. I roamed the streets of Paris' suburbs during the entire pandemic lockdown period. 

I have finished writing a book taking stock of this exploration in French and find myself in the process of finding a publisher.

My first published output is Grand Paris, Cathedral, which appeared in Fields and Stations 's Issue 6. Fields and Stations are specialised in "passion pieces about places":

My journey on cities continues. I settled in a small town in the south of France in 2023, where I am exploring the specific experiences of living in beautiful but crisis-ridden towns in a context of a rising far right.
