This bookstore only opened recently in my neighbourhood. I spend a lot of time there looking at the many exhibitions organized in its gallery.

Paris, unlike London, Brooklyn and err Chester, isn’t famed for its zoo. That’s because there isn’t anything quite as big here, but if its quality as opposed to size you’re looking for then the zoo in the Jardin des Plantes won’t leave you disappointed. There are about 1800 animals here, a third of which are endangered species, like the Amur leopard, pictured. The reptile house has big snakes and snap-happy crocodiles. There are even kangaroos and some other animals you wouldn’t have thought hardy enough to adapt to the cold chill of the Paris winters. The only drawback is the monkey house, which is a rather forlorn place with depressed-looking chimpanzees and gorillas gazing through shit-stained glass cages.

This gallery is an inspiring contemporary place where I like discover new forms and approaches. By the way the window is awesome!

We are very into contemporary illustration that’s why we absolutly love Arts Factory. It’s an art gallery dedicated to the illustration French scene. It’s great. Just go, you will want to buy everything.
