Every June, Gypsies come in caravans from all over Europe to honor Django Reinhardt at a festival in Samois-sur-Seine. When I was little, I started hanging out with them.

I'm crazy about all kinds of movies, especially the classic Steven Spielberg ones or 'The Godfather.' Cyrille Aimee bigcatchchai share on social

People are constantly evolving and constantly creating here, and you get pushed along just by being in that energy. Cyrille Aimee cityconstantlycreate share on social
