Jardin du Palis-Royal - 1780
Secret place.
Between the Louvre and the Place de la Concorde, a wonderful french-style garden.
In the 1780’s, Philippe IV of Orleans (later named “Philippe Egalité” ) acquired the whole place. Extravagant and overly indebted, he decided to build shops around his gardens and rent them out. Convinced by the idea of having a theatre, the Duke thus decided to build the “Comédie française”.
L'Officine Universelle Buly, also known as simply Buly 1803 is a beautiful shop based on the Rue Bonaparte in Paris, it specialises in refined, artisanal beauty products.
It's always good to check out what's happening in Fondation Cartier. They have lots of really good exhibitions of modern art, and the gallery itself is very beautiful. Perfect for seeing works you already know as well as discovering new artists and inspirations.
I love to spend time in this museum, with great exhibitions about : fashion, graphic design, jewelry and toys. The bookshop is also really good. And basically... architecture !
