Paris / Restaurant

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.

Paris / Shop

There's a few secondhand clothes stores in Paris, but always immaculately selected, expensive and fashionable. Guerrisol however is a huge, dirt cheap jumble sale. Stock seems to rotate daily in each of their four stores, and prices fluctuate on the hour. Sifting through endless rails of synthetic jackets at €3 can suddenly reveal a hidden gem.

Paris / Bookstore

A very good choice of art books and artistic gifts

Paris / Cinema

This cinema is located in a modern part of the city. You won’t find any old buildings there and no tourists either. We love this place because it’s located just next to the « Bibliothèque National de France ». This place is huge and this kind of hugeness spaces are very unusual to find in Paris. When you place yourself in the middle of the 4 buildings and look up, it almost makes you dizzy because of the vastness of the place. We love it because it makes us feel free and at the same time completely overwhelmed by the space. Paris is one of the city in the world where you can find the more cinemas. And you have food trucks with nice food just in front of it to have a snack to enjoy a nice movie.

Paris / Bakery

Bakery & pastry close to Montmartre in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, near Les Abbesses. Sébastien Mauvieux, the owner & baker, has been awarded for the best baguette of Paris in 2012. I recommend les chouquettes and also le flan ! And I had the pleasure to create the visual identity and packaging.
