The Lazy Dog: art and graphic design bookstore in Paris.

The Lazy Dog: art and graphic design bookstore in Paris.

The Lazy Dog boutique is closed. You can still follow them at The Lazy Dog.

The Lazy Dog in Paris is an awesome bookstore focusing on visual arts. They sell books about illustration, graphic design, typography, advertising, identity and packaging, art, street art, photography, architecture, fashion and urban culture, zines and comics. They also sell limited edition t-shirts, goodies (stickers, cameras, helmets, toys…) and (signed) screen prints from various artists such as the amazing Parra whose color palette will most likely engage your attention in very pleasant ways and stimulate your creativity. I found Nathaniel Russell’s—one of my favorite artists and friend— illustrated “Listography Journal: Your Life in Lists”. You’ll come across books by Mark Ryden, Italian artist Blu whose painted wall-animation MUTO has been viewed over three million times on Youtube, and many more contemporary pop culture influential artists. The Lazy Dog bookstore has a gallery, located just around the corner from the main store, showcasing talents such as Steven Harrington, Parra, So Me (Ed Banger Records’ visual artist), La Boca Studio…

Rose Bakery in Paris: healthy tasty food in lively neighborhoods.

Rose Bakery in Paris: healthy tasty food in lively neighborhoods.

Franco-British couple Mr. and Mrs. Rose had a child. They called it Bakery. A Rose Bakery was born in London. Then they decided to move to Paris and they gave birth to a second, and recently a third, Rose Bakery. Rose Bakery is the name of their very successful—hence the new addition to the family—bakery/restaurants. The third Rose Bakery restaurant is in the hands of chef Kaori Endo, a 34 year-old Japanese cook who just published a book of recipes and who will be on T.V for eight cooking shows. At Rose Bakery they use quality ingredients, lots of organic and carefully chosen goods for their savory tarts, quiches, healthy salads (lentil salad, carrot salad, potato salad, baked beans, duck pot-au-feu…) and their delicious desserts (carrot cake, cheesecake, vegan fruit cake, lemon cake, green tea-raspberry cake, banana nut bread, scones, muffins, brownies…) They serve breakfast during the week and brunch on the weekend (eggs, pancakes…). In other words, Rose Bakery is a perfect place for breakfast, lunch, brunch and afternoon tea and pastries. It’s healthy, good, pretty and it is located in two great areas of Paris.

Ladurée: Succulent macarons and beautiful tea salons in Paris.

Ladurée: Succulent macarons and beautiful tea salons in Paris.

Created in the late 19th century, Ladurée—inventor of macarons—is one of the oldest Parisian tea houses. Today it counts several tearooms/pastry shops/restaurants in Paris and abroad. Ladurée is to Paris what sourdough bread is to San Francisco, catfish to New Orleans, BBQ to Texas and fried green tomatoes to the southern United States… It is part of the Paris’ culinary identity. As if Ladurée needed any publicity, Sofia Coppola’s visually stunning movie, Marie-Antoinette, made the Parisian tea house famous all over the world. Now the lines are even longer and sometimes stretch all the way around the street corner as if we were in cold war-era Russia. If you plan on eating at Ladurée on the Champs-Elysées I highly recommend reserving your table online. You can choose your day and time, and avoid the ridiculous wait in line. The online reservations will soon be extended to the other tea salons. Ladurée serves breakfast (morning pastries, bread, eggs any style, French toast, fresh fruit salads, juices…), brunch (it is served on Saturday and Sunday from 10am until 3.30pm and will cost you 35€) and lunch as well as dinner (main dish at 29€, menus at 34€ and 42€, club sandwiches from 15,50€ to 23€). Pastries and teas will coast you around 7€ each.
If you are visiting Paris in winter and wish to warm up in a cozy and elegant atmosphere, Ladurée is the place to be: it is sort of overheated and makes you kinda melt. And then you melt some more when you see the list of pastries.

Penhaligon’s: sophisticated (British) perfumes in Paris.

Penhaligon’s: sophisticated (British) perfumes in Paris.

Penhaligon’s is one of the few true perfume houses in the world: designing and making its own scents, going to great lengths to achieve precise effects. Only fine and rare ingredients are used, such as hand-squeezed oil of bergamot and jasmine oil at twice the price of gold.”
Once upon a time back in the 19th century there was a Cornish barber—William Henry Penhaligon—who moved to London and became Court Barber and Perfumer to Queen Victoria. One hundred and thirty-seven years later, with 22 fragrances to its list, Penhaligon’s house has grown and established itself all over the world. Penhaligon’s perfumes are some of the most sophisticated and original scents on the market. They have been worn by Winston Churchill, Rudyard Kipling, Vivienne Westwood, Kate Moss…

While looking in vain for an old Caron perfume that has been discontinued for many years now, I stumbled upon Penhaligon’s shop on rue Saint-Honoré in Paris. I tried Malabah and was sold. I’ve been stopped on the street a few times and asked about my perfume. Yes, it’s that nice!

Satellite jewelry stores in Paris

Satellite jewelry stores in Paris

It all started when ethnologist Sandrine Dulon traveled the world with a friend and came back with a collection of antique jewelry, semi-precious stones and other inspiring materials. First Sandrine Dulon made jewelry for her friends, then her work became increasingly popular and finally she met the person who launched her career: French Elle Magazine fashion editor fell in love with the Satellite Spring and Summer collection of 1988 and it made the cover of the magazine’s January Special Fashion issue of that year. Satellite’s new collections are bi-annual and always reflect diverse cultural influences.

Angelin Preljocaj’s Le Parc at the Opéra de Paris

Angelin Preljocaj’s Le Parc at the Opéra de Paris

In the game of love, getting there is three-quarters of the fun. Or so the French would have us believe, in a literary tradition that dates back to the 17th century, when Louis XIV, no prude himself, founded the Paris Opera Ballet. This kind of formalized courtship is the updated subject of “Le Parc,” a visually stunning work by Angelin Preljocaj, a genuine experimental choreographer.” Anna Kisselgoff.

Le Parc was created in 1994 for the Ballet de l’Opéra National de Paris.
Choreography: Angelin Preljocaj
Music: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (extracts from pieces for strings and piano concertos)
Sets: Thierry Leproust
Costumes: Hervé Pierre
Lighting: Jacques Chatelet
