Centre Georges Pompidou

Parce qu'ils le valent bien

Quizz culturel du jour...Si je vous dis: lignes noires orthogonales et couleurs primaires, le tout sur fond blanc, vous me répondez? Si vous pensez à un gel pour les cheveux d'une marque bien connue, ça n'est pas ça...mais presque. Involontairement cette marque a participé à la renommée internationale de Piet Mondrian, auquel le Centre Beaubourg dédie une grande rétrospective jusqu'au 21 mars, ainsi qu'à un mouvement hollandais moins connu du grand public, De Stijl, mais dont l'influence a large ...

Le Train Bleu

Beaucoup de lieux parisiens sont ce que l'on appelle chargés d'histoire, la grande histoire. Mais pour le Train Bleu cela serait plutôt la petite histoire, celles des passagers qui depuis plus d'un siècle ont mangés ici, en attendant leur train direction le sud de la France . Un « buffet de la gare » comme il n'en existe plus, conservé en l'état depuis sa construction en 1901. Un somptueux décors typique du Second Empire classé Monument Historique : vaste espace éclairé par de grandes ... Continue

La Coupole

Paris Existe Toujours

Peut-être pas la meilleure brasserie de Paris (à l'exception de la spécialité, le curry d'agneau) mais sans doute la plus célèbre car fréquentée dès son ouverture par le « Tout Paris ». Construite en 1927 dans le quartier des salles de spectacles, sa superficie qui en faisait la plus grande de Paris (1000m2 dont un « dancing » en sous-sol) attira immédiatement les artistes les plus célèbres de leur temps. Ici traînent encore les fantômes de Cocteau, Picasso, Man Ray, Piaf, ... Continue

Pantheon

Dome of Legends

250 years on, the rumor simply won't go away--the dome of the Pantheon is about to collapse. This story has been lingering ever since construction in the 1650's, under king Louis XV. Thing is, the dome actually includes no less than 3 domes--after its model, the pantheon of Rome. And because of lack of funding, the project took 30 years to complete. These two factors combined are enough to feed the urban legend. And to add to the story, the French government is now looking for €100m to condu ... Continue

Hotel Dieu Hospitel

A Hospital Stay You Can Enjoy

How about taking advantage of your visit to Paris to stay at the hospital for a night or two? Here is how that would be possible--and, quite possibly, even very desirable. Hotel Dieu is one of the world's longest-operating hospitals. It first opened in the heart of Paris, on the main island, in... 651. Not to worry – medicine has made some solid progress in the last 1,500 years, and Hotel Dieu is now a cutting-edge hospital. And so, how would you like to spend a night there? Not a ... Continue

Aki

Tokyo-On-Seine

Should you get tired of French food at some point (anything can happen!), Paris has its fair range of Japanese options to choose from. Beware that so many sushi bars are actually converted Chinese eateries--an indication that sushi must be more lucrative (or more trendy) than Beijing duck at this point. Second, as elsewhere, sticky rice covered with thin strips of uncooked fish can get expensive. Fortunately, since the '70s, when Japanese banker-types first moved to Paris, Paris has buil ...

Hôtel Opéra Bourse

"Where Should I Stay"

Never mind that I don't stay in hotels in Paris because I live here, people keep wanting to know what hotel they ought to stay in. So here is my answer--but with no names, just geographical points. Given that Paris is an eminently walkable city, and that most tourist attractions are located on or near the river Seine, staying close to the river is a good way to optimize your stay. Paris is made up of 20 districts, arranged in a snail-shell pattern that starts at the center. You may thus want to ... Continue

Marché Boulevard Raspail

Marché bio chic (6e)

Lorsque le printemps arrive, on peut parfois avoir envie de faire autre chose que les Musées ou du shopping. Comme de retrouver un peu de campagne à Paris. Alors voici une adresse pour faire ses courses, ou acheter tout ce qu'il faut pour un excellent pique-nique. Le marché bio du Bd Raspail, crée en 1989, est le 1er marché bio de Paris intra-muros. Il se déroule tous les dimanches matin, de 9h à 13h30. C'est sans doute l'un des plus chics (et aussi des plus chers) de la capitale. Vous pourrez ... Continue
