Global Stringer

04:42

Quentin Foucque, an artist from Marseille, France, was born in 1987, the year Marseille and Shanghai became sister cities. After a two-week trip to Shanghai in 2010, he fell completely in love with the city and ended up spending more than half his adult life there. In his eyes, Shanghai is a dynamic city of opportunities with a futuristic atmosphere and dazzling neon lights.

During his stay in Shanghai, he forged strong friendships. He thinks that people from Shanghai and Marseille are quite similar: open-minded and welcoming. He hopes that one day, more Chinese tourists can visit Marseille and other cities in France through diplomacy efforts like streamlining visa procedures.
