This little charming hotel is quirky yet elegant and mixes bespoke furniture with graphic prints. The owner Yoan Marciano is a friend of mine and work hard to keep this special atmosphere where you feel like at sweet home

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.

Sunday walk by the river. In the summer bring a bottle.

We love fashion, it’s always a pleasure for us to dress well. We love the Tom Greyhound store. It’s expensive but the selection is very precise and refined.

A gallery I like to visit when I am in Paris, amazing space, great selection of artists and a welcoming team. And also a really gorgeous staircase.
