📖 À propos Taís
Taïs est la variante portugaise de l'ancien nom grec Thaïs, dont les racines évoquent la guérison et la restauration. De la célèbre hétaïre athénienne qui accompagnait Alexandre le Grand à la sainte pénitente d'Alexandrie et à l'héroïne de l'opéra de Massenet, ce nom porte une richesse millénaire. Au Brésil, il a évolué vers une forme moderne et élégante, à la fois classique et résolument contemporaine.
