In early 2022, Charlie Walker set out to hike 600 miles along the frozen rivers of Siberia.

But on 24 February, Russia invaded Ukraine, with devastating consequences.

Paris is often introduced through imagery that feels immediately familiar, even to those who have never set foot in the city. Wide boulevards lined with trees, the steady curve of the River Seine, the silhouette of the Eiffel Tower against the evening sky, and the quiet presence of cafés that seem to invite conversation and reflection all combine to create an impression that is both recognisable and enduring.

It is a city where continuity and change operate together, creating an environment that is both precise and evolving.
