Walking by the catacombs in the 14th arrondisement, I discovered Madame Rana–a fortune teller operating out of a happily painted palm-tree decorated trailer. Unfortunately she was not in, but from the two things found on the internet, it appears that when the door is opened a purple floral curtain greets you. The trailer was parked on the sidewalk, with no truck or car connected, so I wondered if this was her permanent location. Does she need a permit? So many questions…If anybody has had any experience with the mysterious Madame Rana, do let us know!
