Even on rainy days beautifully moody.

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.

Agnès b. place dedicated to contemporary art in the 13th arr. of Paris. If you like Basquiat, Warhol, Jon Giorno or if you're just curious, go there !

Good art bookshop that also sells prints and limited artwork.

I love to go to this library and often work there. It is very peaceful and the setting is beautiful. The library is a mine for books about design and architecture.
