Alex TOLEDANO - Co-Founder and President of VISTO Images

Alex Toledano is the co-founder and president of VISTO Images, an art consulting firm that manages art collections for commercial, hotel and residential projects. The 25-hour teams worked closely with Alex Toledano. Also a city historian, Alex is a fine connoisseur of the 10th arrondissement where he has lived for 15 years and where he has been working on his thesis for over 8 years. In order to share the vibrant history of this district and its good addresses with his clients, 25hours has commissioned Alex to write a book illustrated with many "tips" given by "Local Heroes". They are: artists, owners of restaurants and shops located in the area, the sound agent at the Gare du Nord train station or his foreman... 19 of them confided in Alex. The work will be available in each of the rooms but also for sale to the public in a corner shop located in the lobby.
