A Place/Shop/Studio/Universe in the 3rd arrondissement. BLESS was founded 1997 by Ines Kaag and Desiree Heiss. It is a project that presents ideal and artistic values by products to the public and it is my current working place.

A small market open Tuesday to Saturday in a beautiful hall at 39, rue de Bretagne in the 3rd arrondissement. People come here for lunch as much as for shopping. It is the oldest market in Paris and it takes its name from an orphanage, established in the sixteenth century, who collected the lost children and wore red. Especially the Japanese cookshop and the Cous-Cous are worth going there.

A nice & big wine seller in the area of Belleville. You can also eat some good typically french things.

The very first place i've been in Paris.  My first month in the city, i spend over 800€ in this bar (true story) It's simple, warm and friendly, drinks are not so expensive (for Paris...). You can talk with every body, people there are open minded and funny (but only because everybody is drunk)

Best way to live the parisian way of life ! GO the re on sunday and drink a coffe or a glass of wine cole to the market. You can also eat oysters !
