Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Thomas Jonglez was born and grew up in Paris. At the age of 22 he set out to discover the world, and spent most of 1992 backpacking around South America. Next he bought a one-way ticket to Beijing, from where he decided to make his way back to Paris overland – a trip that took him seven months. On his return, he tirelessly trawled the streets of Paris for material to write his first guidebook, which was published in 1996. After several years with the steel industry, he launched his publishing company in 2003. The first edition of Secret Paris came out in 2007. Ever since, he has regularly strolled around the capital, constantly surprised to discover new secret places in a city he thought he knew so well.
