Montreal / Shop

This giant orange restaurant is three stories high and serves hot dogs, burgers, and fries, as well as its signature drink, orange julep.

Montreal / Place

The Montreal metro opened in 1966, right before the city hosted the world expo in 1967. The metro system is one of the most visible legacies of this time, filled with Modernist architecture and design. The trains are on big rubber tires and it's warm in the winter.

Montreal / Monument

This is the one of the largest monuments to Montreal's Catholic history. This photo is of my favourite spot in the oratory; a little green chapel filled with crutches from people who came to the oratory on pilgrimage.

Montreal / Park

Montreal has a mountain in its centre. On this mountain, there is a large park, which includes trails, forest, a lake, and a cross on top. Going on the trails, it feels like a complete escape.

I'm Claire Pazot, a French-born Art Director. After a time in Paris and Berlin, I have settled down in Montreal, and this is where I live and work. I love pure and simple design. I am always eager for new projects, all different and unique. But fun stays my main goal in life :)
