In the first episode of My City, My Backyard, graphic designer and illustrator Guillaume Denaud opens the door to his everyday life in Marseille, introducing us to the places and people that inspire his work and make the city feel like home. From neighbourhood cafés and ceramic studios to skateparks, independent restaurants and Le Corbusier's iconic Cité Radieuse, Guillaume shares the people and places that inspire his work and shape his everyday routine. Along the way, we discover a city defined by creativity, community and a rebellious spirit, where the Mediterranean light, colourful streets and chance encounters continue to influence his illustrations. My City, My Backyard explores the places people return to, and the stories that make a city their own.
