This month, to celebrate the new collections hitting the

fabulously chic boutiques in the fashion capital, we meet

with American fashion designer, Monique Lhuillier, who

shares with us what inspired her new collection. We also

meet with shoe designer, Stuart Weitzman, who tells us

the smartest way to pack.

The French capital plays host to the 27th Biennale des

Antiquaires this month and with this prestigious event

we bring you the finest jewellery pieces, exceptional

paintings and fine furniture showcased during the ten

days under the glass roof of the Grand Palais.

Limited edition collections, art-inspired fashions and

handcrafted jewellery are only some of the things

waiting for all fashionistas in our Shopping section while

traditional Parisian brasseries, French pastries and top

tables with the best views of the city are all found in our

Dining section for our readers who enjoy eating their

way through the city. Famous for its love of the arts

and culture, Paris is also hosting a number of must-see

exhibits and events this month including Antiquaires et

Galeriste-Le Salon, which brings together 50 antique and

art dealers under two pavilions along the Seine.

We hope you enjoy your stay in Paris and that you have

enough time to discover everything it has to offer, and if

not you will just have to come back!

Where do you find the inspiration for your

designs?

I draw inspiration from a lot of different

places. My favourite thing to do is travel,

and when I go on these different trips, I just

get so inspired, whether it’s a beautiful art

piece I’m looking at, people-watching on

the street or a beautiful fabric that I see. The

ideas just start, and it happens. So it’s usually

from travelling, but also just living. I’m drawn

to beautiful things.

What was the inspiration behind the au-

tumn 2014 collection?

It was the mysterious side of Monique. The

season is very dramatic, it has a lot of darker

shades—midnight, black and metallics. It’s

also sleeker. I tried to keep the collection

dark and mysterious, but I also added some

pops of colour in the fuchsia and the lush

pink. In autumn I like to have the collection

be a little more dramatic than romantic. I feel

that women need that darker side.

A lot of people know you for the bridal.

Are you expanding the ready-to-wear

collection?

I started my company 17 years ago. The

first seven years, I was only doing wedding

Fashion icon Monique Lhuillier is inspired

by her surroundings wherever she goes,

which adds extra charm and depth to

her dramatic designs. We sat down with

Lhuillier at the debut of her autumn 2014

collection and discovered what pieces

she considers key for the season, her tips

on packing light and what she does to

quickly feel at home in a new destination.

gowns. Those were a great start for me, but

then I wanted to dress women throughout

their lives rather than just on that special

day, which is how the ready-to-wear started.

Now, I want to dress her earlier in the day, so

you see more separates and what I call “high

day” looks in the collection. It then goes into

evening and gala gowns at night. Another

new thing for me is shoes, this is my second

season doing shoes.

What pieces or trends do you think are

key for autumn?

I think a great lace shoe bootie is a must in

the wardrobe. I also think a great cocktail

dress with a great fit and a bit of shimmer is

key for the wardrobe. The final component

of my collection is the statement gowns—I

love seeing women put that effort in and

transform for that one evening and make it

memorable, letting the fantasy back in.

What is the most important piece or

pieces to your own personal style?

A great-fitting cocktail dress is a signature of

mine. I feel like it’s so versatile, it takes you

to so many different places. I travel a lot and

know these pieces serve a great purpose.

How often do you travel?

Twice a month.

What are your best travel tips?

To over-pack is just a drag. I always say plan

your wardrobe two days before you leave

and style it out with the shoes, the belts,

etc., so that way you’re very well-edited and

it doesn’t take up a lot of space. If you’re

organised, it makes travelling a breeze.

What is the first thing you do when you

arrive at your new destination?

I like to unpack and get everything hung,

and then I take a walk and see my surround-

ings—the neighbourhood, check out what

sort of things there are to do in the hotel.

I like to discover immediately.

How do you make a hotel room feel more

like home?

I bring my music with me, that makes me

feel at home. I also bring a fragrance with

me, whether it be a candle or an air spray,

so it smells like me and my environment. If

it’s a long stay, I order fresh flowers, which

automatically makes it feel more cosy.

What are you listening to right now?

I listen to a lot of Pharrell. I also listen to

Coldplay. I like to dance, so I have a lot of

dance mixes—I love David Guetta, Justin

Timberlake. RUN

When you travel, do you like the aisle or

window seat?

If I travel with somebody, like my husband,

I like the window seat; but if I travel alone,

I like the aisle. I like to be independent and

not cross over anybody and bother anybody.

What’s your favourite vacation spot?

Too many to mention! But I have some

favourites. I love going to Venice and eating

the delicious food—it’s so beautiful. I also

love going to Capri, I love staying at the

J.K.Place Hotel, it feels like your own private

beach house. We also love going to Aspen,

Colorado, which is only a two-hour flight

from Los Angeles—we’re a very big out-

doors family, so we ski a lot in the winter;

in the summer we like to bike and hike.

But I could go on. I also love Paris.

What’s one thing you can’t be without

when you travel?

My iPhone, because I can take

pictures with it, I’m always connected—if

somebody needs me, I’m very accessible. I

have my music, my pictures and it just keeps

me on track.

STEPPING OUT WITH

Stuart Weitzman

Designer of the most coveted shoes around, Stuart Weitzman

tells us how to put our best foot forward when on the road.

B Y J E N N I F E R M c K E E

What are the key shoes every man and woman

should have in their wardrobes?

A soft-as-butter boot, a black modern boot and

whatever helps a woman feel sexy and beautiful.

What is the best way to pack shoes and hand-

bags?

In a cloth bag.

What type of shoes should men and women

take with them when travelling?

Whatever they can walk the farthest in and be the

most comfortable.

What is your best tip for planning one’s travel

wardrobe?

Pack your favourite items, but pack lightly so it

allows you the opportunity to shop on vacation.

If you could impart one piece of fashion wisdom

to travellers, what would it be?

Make sure to pack at least one heel, as nothing

has been invented yet that beats the high heel for

making a good pair of legs look great and a great

pair look fabulous!

A Beautiful Biennale

16 W H E R E PAR I S I S E P TE MB E R 2014

www.wheretraveler.com 17

The Biennale des Antiquaires

continues to embody a world of

refinement, elegance and style.

The prestigious event is held every

two years in the French capital

and brings together quite simply

the best of the best beneath the gleaming

glass cupola of the Grand Palais. The show,

organised by the Paris-based Syndicat National

des Antiquaires, the French Union of Antique

Dealers, is being held for the 27th time this

year. It opened up for the first time in 1956 with

the idea being to create an event in which the

beauty of the objects would compete with that

of the women in attendance.

Objects from Antiquity, exceptional fine

furniture, masterful paintings and dazzling

creations from the world of high jewellery

are among the brilliant works ensconced in a

thoroughly royal setting. For this year, interior

designer Jacques Grange has created a décor

inspired by the Versailles Gardens with help

from the gardeners of the Château of Versailles

and the Trianon. Trellises and arbours, fountains,

groves and lawns come together for a perfect

promenade. Upon entering the Grand Palais,

an olfactory fountain by the house of Francis

Kurkdjian plunges the visitor into the 18th

century through the Bouquet de la Reine that

inspired the fragrance. “La Biennale 2014 is

an imaginary garden leading to exceptional

objects,” explains Jacques Grange. The Biennale

takes us on a journey into worlds beyond our

very own with singular objects, art works and

dazzling ornaments from some 81 exhibitors,

gallery owners, merchants and key actors in the

art market as well as high-end jewellers.

The Galerie François Léage is participating

in the show for the 19th time this year with

exceptional pieces of furniture and objets d’art

from the 18th century, presenting an astounding

array of rare pieces including a pair of vases in

midnight blue Chinese porcelain from the Louis

XVI epoch. The Galerie Christian Deydier, which

specialises in Asian art, is presenting a very rare

horse head Haniwa, clay sculptures placed on

ancient Japanese burial mounds, in terracotta

from Japan’s 6th century AD Kofun period.

Meanwhile, the house of Kraemer is presenting a

pair of Louis XV chased open-work gilded bronze

andirons, whose twins are found in the Louvre in

the same concept in which the other objects the

gallery is presenting have their twin in a leading

museum. Ceramic specialist Laurence Vauclair

is showcasing an impressive selection of 19th

and 20th century vases while the Galerie Ary Jan,

whose speciality revolves around both Orientalist

art and Belle Epoque paintings is presenting a

meticulous selection of fine paintings from the

late 19th and early 20th centuries in a Napoleon

III décor. And Applicat-Prazan, specialised in

the School of Paris, is showcasing 20th century

masters like Lucio Fontana and Serge Poliakoff.

High jewellery is also being celebrated at the

Biennale with a sparkle this year as in years past.

The House of Giampiero Bodino, Richemont’s

new high jewellery house, brings on pieces

in a contemporary style infused with Italy’s

centuries old art and culture. The unique pieces

in precious materials being presented by Mr.

Bodino, who was appointed the creative director

of the Richemont Group in 2002, evoke nine

themes including the cameo, the Baroque and

treasures of the sea. Meanwhile, the House of

Piaget is celebrating both its 140th anniversary

and the Biennale by creating 88 pieces of

jewellery and 37 watches brought together in

the Extremely Piaget Collection reflecting the

1960s and 70s, a major period in the house’s

creative history, with precious stones and superb

colours in the limelight.

Dior is also presenting a collection of

beautifully constructed precious high jewellery

pieces in a collection entitled Archi Dior

created by Victoire de Castellane who drew her

inspiration from fashion designs by Christian

Dior, while Chanel is bringing out the splendour

of Café Society in a high jewellery collection of

the same name, a name that evokes glamour,

audacity and the cosmopolitan. Intricate form,

complex design and superb craftsmanship

are the hallmarks of the high jewellery pieces

created by Wallace Chan who is returning to the

Biennale this year with jewels created especially

for the event.

Fine dining is also being celebrated once

again during the Biennale with an ephemeral

gastronomic restaurant. During the event,

exclusive lunch and dinner menus by a

succession of leading chefs including Guy

Martin, Mauro Colagreco, Patrick Henriroux and

Régis Marcon in conjunction with the luxury

caterer, Potel et Chabot are being served.

The leaf-shaped Arum ring is

striking with its exceptional

emerald set in diamonds while

the Rose ring showcases a

natural pink sapphire set in diamonds.

Both pieces are found among the unique

pieces fashioned by the French jeweller

Inédit. These two jewels are, too,

like others in the various collections,

accompanied by a gemmological

report, for the house puts great

emphasis on the quality and purity of

the precious gemstones that are used

in the crafting of their astoundingly

original pieces, while particular

attention is placed upon the quality of

the cut of the stone and its symmetry.

Every step in the fashioning of each

jewel is done in the house’s workshops

in Rouen in western France by the

firm’s highly skilled jewellers, setters

and polishers. In these workshops each

work is crafted entirely by hand by

exceptional craftsmen.

It was in Rouen that it all began

back in 1984 when Frank Margueron

surrounded by a team of craftsmen

created Inédit. Passion, creation and a

certain state of mind are the bywords of

the house, which opened its boutique

in Paris in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés

neighbourhood in 2007.

During the first International Biennale

of Fine Craft and Creation, held in 2013

beneath the glass dome of the Grand

Palais, Inédit set up a workshop in the

celebrated structure. During the show

the house created a ring whose design

embodies the architectural concept

of the glass roof of the Grand Palais,

a structure that is riveted rather than

welded. Work on the piece began in

public view on September 11th, the day

the show opened and was completed

on September 15th. The Grand Palais

ring has been re-released in a series

limited to 17 pieces fashioned in white

gold and diamonds.

Meanwhile, the Arabesques collection

draws its inspiration from the Italian

Renaissance. The rings are composed

of 100 brilliant-cut diamonds set in

satinated gold polished to a mirror

finish. The Garden pendant, a unique

piece, inspired by the French gardens

of the celebrated landscape gardener

André Le Nôtre, is a colourful affair of

green garnets, obsidian, rock crystals,

colour diamonds and white diamonds.

Inédit has been given the Joaillerie

de France label guaranteeing that each

piece has been made, mounted, set and

polished in France and it has also been

awarded the prestigious Living Heritage

Company label, a mark of recognition of

the French state put in place to reward

French firms for the excellence of their

traditional and industrial skills.

Ann Tuil

What started off as a hobby for two

sisters who grew up in the suburbs

of Paris has now become a fulltime

job. Béatrice and Carole Blaise always

admired the savoir-faire of high-end

items and what started off with a

simple bag purchase with their savings,

followed by another, slowly became a

passion for everything fine and slowly

they added to their collection. Now

the sisters, who educated themselves

with the history of the luxurious French

brands, give other equally passionate

fashionistas, especially those who

love everything vintage, a space to

discover previously loved luxe finds.

ByeBuy, their showroom in the Marais

neighbourhood, is where you can

find items designed by all the French

fashion houses, including Dior, Vuitton

and Chanel. The unique space can

also be privatised, giving shoppers an

opportunity to vintage shop, VIP-style.

Rolls-Royce, Delahaye, Facel Vega and Aston Martin are among the

mythical brands on hand as hundreds of exceptional cars converge in

the splendid setting of Chantilly for the Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard

art dealers into two stylised pavilions. Carefully conceived stands present the art of Asia,

tableware, Contemporary Art, Art Deco pieces, jewellery and a host of other specialties.

Among the extraordinary pieces on display is a set of six finger bowls in opaline from

the Charles X epoch, a Waterman fountain pen in 18-ct gold with a diamond-paved cap,

circa 1930, and a boat-shaped chandelier. Art experts are on hand to guide you with your

purchases and amenities include a tea salon, valet parking and free coat check. – P.V.

From Sept 10 through Sept 21, 11am-7pm, and until 11pm on the

10th, 11th, 16th and 18th

Pont Alexandre III, Rive Droite (Right Bank),

Port Champs-Elysées on the banks of the Seine (8th)

The powerful Keaka statuary of Nigeria,

myriad ritual masks from around the world

and a fertility doll of the Fante people

of Ghana are all being showcased as the

wondrous world of tribal arts is unfolding

on the Left Bank for the Parcours des

Mondes event. There are objects that are

made to heal, others to go to war or to the

sea. This voyage into the diversity of the

tribal arts of Africa, the Americas, Asia and

Oceania showcases exceptional pieces

from some 68 carefully selected galleries,

among them two bookshops, from around

the world and the event features some 30

thematic exhibitions ranging from animals

to ancestors. The exhibitions are hosted

A delightful show of original and uninfluenced creation is being played out at the

Halle Saint Pierre, which is hosting an exhibition devoted to outsider art. Outsider

art, sometimes referred to as raw art, is generally art created by people outside of

the artistic establishment and mainstream. The De Stadshof Collection, bringing

together some 350 works by 40 emblematic artists, is being showcased in this

enticing venue. There are colourful and exuberant works in a host of mediums

including painting, sculptures, drawings and installations. There is the impressive

and assertive statue sculpture by Kijima in wood and metal, while the Willem van

Genk’s Centraal Station Amsterdam collage evokes all that a train station is while an

intriguing untitled work on paper by Christine Sefolosha incites one to ponder. – P.V.

The focus of the exhibition is firmly

placed on three very singular jewels

linked to desire: the cuff bracelet, the

sautoir and the brooch.

“People have always been attracted by

jewels. They admire them, covet them,

desire them,” explains Olwen Forest, who

in reference to Ancient Egypt remarks,

“It was an age rich in highly seductive

jewels.” She points to the artistic

creations in poured glass, ”Because the

properties of glass already fascinated in

that great historical period,” notes Olwen.

Iconic cuff bracelets, emblematic of the

machine age, are one of the three stars

of the show with leading designers like

Coco Chanel, Jean Patou and Yves Saint

Laurent often showcasing the atypical

yet chic items. A spectacular piece in the

show by Jean-Louis Scherrer with

a large piece of red poured

glass in the centre is particularly

eye-catching.

Sautoirs, the long chains

designed in myriad ways be it

with beads, coins, charms and

more, are jewels in perpetual

motion, moving according to

one’s gestures, steps, postures.

“It is the ultimate jewel of

freedom,” explains Olwen.

And for some, elegance means wearing

several at once. “That’s what Coco Chanel

did,” says Olwen, “She was very avant-

garde in wearing this type of necklace.”

Brooches, objects in and of themselves,

are highlighted in the show, too. “A

brooch could become a conversation

piece,” explains Olwen, adding that

brooches can be elaborate or amusing.

One of the pieces in the show not to be

missed is the lipstick brooch.

Couture took a great interest in brooches

given their originality and refinement.

“Roger Jean-Pierre, a backbone of French

couture, created numerous brooches in

three dimensions for Elsa Schiaparelli,

Christian Dior, Balenciaga, Givenchy,”

underscores Olwen.

“A jewel always has a story to tell,” says

Olwen Forest, who has over

the years, carefully unearthed

unique pieces during her

journeys, discoveries and

encounters, and her Jewels of

Desire exhibition reveals pieces

straight from the soul.

She explains, “These jewels,

which incite the desire to possess

them, to wear them but

which invite, too, desire in and of

itself.”

JEWELS OF DESIRE

O L W E N F O R E S T

Radiant reds, remarkable shapes and intriguing crystals all come together in this brilliant presentation of adornments being held on the edge of town. Vintage jewel expert and collector Olwen Forest is presenting a bold selection of jewellery in an exhibition fittingly entitled Jewels of Desire that is an invitation to a remarkable world, a sparkling world of enticing jewellery beckoning one on a journey of dreams.

“Antiquaires et Galeristes-Le Salon” will be

among the beacon events heralding in the

season of the arts in Paris.

Just footsteps away from the Grand Palais,

this O� art show will be held on either

side of the Pont Alexandre III bridge from

September 10th to September 21st, 2014.

An O� Art Show? Not all that o� … Being held

for the eighth year, the art show has reached

its maturity. Caroline Margeridon imagined for

young antique dealers two stylised pavilions

embellished with glass roofs on the quays

o� ering visitors a compendium of exceptional

works with in the background an impregnable

view onto the Seine.

This prestigious show will welcome some 50

antique dealers and gallery owners selected

among the � nest in the profession and most of

whom are members of the S.N.A., the French

association of antique dealers. An independent

committee of experts recognised by all ensures

the authenticity of each work.

Antique dealers and gallery owners bring our

heritage to life. Following productive research

into the distinguishing features of the works,

the antique dealers restore them and set

them o� within the harmonious setting of

their stand.

An inseparable partner of contemporary

creation, the gallery owners o� er artists an

indispensable visibility and encounters with

art lovers. Often they accompany them in the

evolution of their notoriety and the increase

in their selling price.

Caroline Margeridon, a skilled organiser

-- and charismatic, as well -- of leading art

shows in Paris is participating in the dynamic

of the renewal of the art business. The

traditional shows of old art, the “classics”

are evolving towards trendy “up to date” art

shows where works of the 18th century are

found side by side with works of vintage,

design and slow design where the blend of

styles and epochs surprises and brings about

new aspirations in the art market.

As one ambles about the walkways one

can admire, notably, at the Galerie Adam

a magni� cent ceremonial console table

in bronze, white grey-veined marble from

Spain, semi-precious stones and volcanic

lava stone by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, known

as Bernin. Richard Du� ot will put into the

spotlight his domain of predilection, Art

Déco furniture, with a table in palm wood by

Printz. The Galerie Eric Beaumont, specialised

in old French and Flemish paintings, will

present a still life of fruits and a parrot on

an entablature of Andries Benedetti. Gilles

Rouveyrol will exhibit an Art Nouveau dumb

waiter in crystal and silver-coloured metal

from the goldsmith Gallia. Annie Minet and

Luc Merenda, the exclusive agents in France

of the contemporary Chinese artist Li Chen,

will present one of his awe-inspiring bronze

sculptures entitled “The Pursuer”.

A very special charity auction is taking place this month in the Charente region of

France for which the region’s cognac houses have donated 25 exceptional bottles

of cognac. This year the proceeds of the auction will go to the international charity,

Children in Crisis and the Restos du Coeur Charente, the local branch of the French

national food kitchen charity. The sale is called La Part des Anges meaning angels’

share referring to the alcohol that evaporates out of barrels during the ageing

process. Every lot in the auction is rare and prestigious, and has a story behind it like

the Pierre Ferrand 1914, the Last Cask, for the cognac of 1914 was distilled entirely

by women. Another bottle on the block is Larsen’s Commémoration Drakkar 1952 in

a boat-shaped crystal decanter by Baccarat. – P.V.

The auction will be held at the Abbaye de Bassac, Charente on Sept 18

in the evening. To bid online, starting on September 1, go to

DINING

JAMINJamin, a name that hails out of the pantheon of Parisian restaurants, remains

today, under the helm of Alain Pras with David Tomasini, firmly inscribed on the

Parisian gourmet landscape. Fine dining at Jamin is somewhat akin to enjoying

the seeming sanctuary of a private yacht with discrete porthole windows and

lovely works of art imparting a certain discretion onto the dining room as

courses unfold in a luscious litany of tasteful savours from chef Martin Lenoir.

One of the more intriguing starters is a tartar of crayfish with lime zests while

favourite dishes on the appetiser menu include the colourful salad of crunchy

prawns and a fusion dish of prawn raviolis in a beguiling broth of ginger. The

unctuous veal filet enhanced by lemon confit and served with homemade

purée is an excellent choice as a main dish but seafood lovers might want to

opt for the prawn risotto flavoured with fresh herbs. A perfectly executed

crème brûlée with cane sugar proved perfect for dessert. – Patricia Valicenti

Proudly sporting its new “Fait Maison” label, or the official certification that was

recently created in France to reward restaurants which serve food authentically

home-cooked on the premises (as opposed to being industrially catered) by making

consumers aware of it, this delightful southwestern French bistro on the Left Bank

is a terrific choice for a hearty and delicious meal after a summer of salads. Among

other produce, the southwest of France is renowned for its foie gras and duck,

and both products are on the menu here in a variety of excellent preparations at

exceptionally reasonable prices. So start off with some foie gras and then try the

confit de canard, or duck that’s been lusciously preserved in its own render fat and

then grilled, or perhaps a juicy duck breast with mushrooms and potatoes sautéed

in duck fat with garlic. They also serve an excellent cassoulet, and there are many

appealing options for anyone looking for a lighter meal,

including grilled salmon with baby vegetables or a very

generously garnished salad. Finish up with a slice

of gateau Basque from Pariès, the famous baker

in the Basque country, some chocolate mousse

or a fruit salad, and don’t miss the good selection

of southwestern French wines, including a fine

Madiran for those who prefer red and an excellent

Jurançon for white wine drinkers. – A.L.

Le Bistrot du Sud-Ouest

Just off the very fashionable Avenue

Montaigne is where you will find one

of the city’s most authentic brasseries.

Chez Savy is a Parisian institution, one

that fashion stylists, entertainers and

journalists consider as their local bistro.

One of the smallest brasseries in the city,

it resembles a dining-car with its long

and narrow space and antique luggage

racks. Here, in an art deco décor with a

mosaic floor and cosy seats fitted into

alcoves, you will discover a mouth-

watering menu that features traditional

French fare including foie gras served

with toasted baguette bread, marinated

herring served with a home-style

potato salad and of course the steak

tartare served with frites.

And not to be

missed is the salted caramel pot de

crème, a delicious treat of salted

caramel-flavoured cream. - S.I.

M° Mabillon/St-Germain-des-Prés

If you agree that part of the fun of

visiting another city is discovering one

of those neighbourhoods that’s beloved

by the locals but pretty much unknown

to tourists, you might enjoy a night on

the town along the ever livelier but still

un-gentrified rue du Faubourg-Saint-

Denis in the 10th arrondissement. This

old working-class neighbourhood is in

the midst of transitioning to a young,

creative and animated new future with

lots of young designers, photographers,

website and social media companies

choosing to set up shop in this corner

of Paris, and a delicious place to take

the quartier’s pulse is La Cantine Max y

Jeremy, a new Basque and Spanish tapas

bar and restaurant by Maxime Gues and

Jeremy Gatelet, whose first restaurant,

Max y Jeremy, in the Marais has become

a hit. If the weather’s good, sit at a table

on the terrace out front for some first

rate people watching over excellent

tapas (served only at dinner—there’s

a different yet similar menu at lunch),

including ham croquettes, txistorra (red

pepper brightened Basque sausages),

or pimento de Padron, the deep-fried

green peppers that are a Spanish

favourite. Next up, serious carnivores

may want to order the spectacular côte

de boeuf (rib-steak) for two or three as

it usually weighs in at between two and

three pounds, which comes from Basque

butcher Imanol Jaca, who shops for his

stunning good meat in Galicia in Spain.

Otherwise, go with a salad, some Basque

charcturie or a cheeseboard.

Appealing desserts include citrus

salad dressed with olive oil and cumin,

cheesecake and an excellent crème

brûlée, and service is notably friendly

and attentive. – A.L.

On a soft night in early

September, the dining room

at this long-running bistro

with a winsome 1940’s charm in the

heart of the Golden Triangle, or the chic

neighbourhood that’s the powerhouse

of the French fashion industry and

which is bound by the Champs-Elysées,

the Avenue Montaigne and the Avenue

George V, is filled with a well-dressed

and intriguingly international crowd.

“Everyday is a living alphabet of

nationalities here,” quips a friendly

waitress when she arrives at the table

with flutes of Champagne over which

to study the menu and is asked about

this hugely popular bistro’s clientele.

It’s easy to see why too, ever since it

opened in 1936, Chez André has been

a picture perfect rendering of what

the whole world thinks a Parisian

bistro should be right down to the

big zinc-clad bar just inside the front

door. As soon as you’re seated on a

banquette, you’ve got a ringside seat

to a busy, happy, lively show. There are

the happy sounds of Champagne corks

popping and cutlery on china, plus

the low laughter-punctuated murmur

of a crowd that’s eating well, the busy

ballet of the waitresses in black dresses

with white collars, like something from

a 1950’s film about Paris. Then there’s

the visual and olfactory pleasure of a

great gastronomic spectacle as white

tureens of onion soup capped with

melted cheese, pink slabs of foie gras,

and garlicky-smelling escargots go by.

In this spot of happy place, everyone

looks at everyone else’s plate, so that

the nice couple from Christchurch end

up advising their pleasant opposites

from Chicago that the roasted French

lamb, a house specialty, is just delicious.

“And since we’re Kiwis, we know a

thing or two about good lamb too,”

says the gent. But Chez André isn’t

just for visitors to Paris. A young dark-

eyed Italian born designer who’s just

moved to Paris to work for a famous

French fashion house is happily tucking

into a platter of roast chicken with a

well-known Parisian fashion editor in

another corner of the room, and an

easily recognised French politician is

sharing a bowl of chocolate mousse,

and a spoon, with a strikingly beautiful

blonde woman who may or may not be

his wife. And a well-known weather girl

from one of the major French television

stations stoically and politely responds

to repeated requests from other diners

as to whether or not the weather will

CHEZ ANDRE

be good the next day as she tries to

enjoy a perfectly cooked veal kidney

with sauce Béarnaise. Then there’s the

dapper older man in a well-cut grey

suit with a cornflower in his lapel who is

clearly a regular, since he’s immediately

escorted to a quiet corner table when

he comes through the front door and

served a glass of Lillet, the aperitif from

Bordeaux, a minute later. “I’ve been

eating here ever since my grandmother

first took me as a boy the week that they

opened,” he volunteers to the bemused

English honeymooners next to him.

“And I think it may just be the only

good habit I have,” he says with a

chuckle, adding, “As long as we have

Chez André, we’ll always have Paris.”

school this season might be

to settle into some cooking

classes and workshops.

L’Ecole Lenôtre offers a

complete range of classes

for children and adults, beginners and

those seeking to perfect their savoir-faire.

Classes welcome 8 to 10 participants for half

day cooking classes or theme courses like

delving into the use of spices, the preparation

and cooking of fish and foie gras as well as

chocolate-making techniques. You can even

learn how to prepare Lenôtre’s fabulous

pastries. On Wednesdays, children aged

between 8 and 11 can enjoy a 90-minute

workshop to learn how to prepare quiches,

hamburgers, chicken or vanilla and chocolate

macarons. Teenagers aren’t left out of the

culinary fun either with their own special

3-hour course in the preparation of a formal

dinner.

On September 20th a very special workshop

at Lenôtre is on the agenda with the author

B Y P A T R I C I A V A L I C E N T I

and pastry creator Elodie Martins who will

teach you how to make her highly original

Badou Badou macarons. Lenôtre is launching

a capsule collection of her macarons created

with the complicity of Lenôtre’s executive

chef and director of creation Guy Krenzer.

The Badou Badou workshop lasts for three

hours during which Elodie also gives helpful

hints for making sweets.

Everyday Ô Chateau, a wine bar and

restaurant, welcomes visitors for unique

wine tasting courses in a vaulted cellar of

thick stonewalls in a mansion that once

belonged to the Marquise de Pompadour.

The various tasting sessions enable the

attendee to discover the wealth of France’s

vineyards. Several workshops are on offer,

of note is the two-hour Off the Beaten

Tracks Wine Tasting, which takes a stronger

historical approach than the other tastings

and explores out of the ordinary varietals

and also offers an insight into the business

of wine. A Tour de France of wine and a

grands crus tasting are among the offerings

and high-end private group tastings for

a maximum of four people can also be

arranged.

Meanwhile, a young and innovative

cheese specialist has developed fun and

educational workshops to learn about the

delicious, intricate and elaborate world

of French cheeses. Pierre Brisson selects

the fine cheeses from producers or those

who age cheese, seeking out the best in

traditionally produced cheeses to educate

participants about the story behind cheese,

how it’s made, how to taste it and how to

choose it the next time you’re in a cheese

shop. The two-hour tasting sessions

feature a wide range of cheeses, three or

four different wines depending upon the

cheeses and freshly baked bread. A class

for serious cheese lovers is available too,

featuring 10 rare cheeses along with wine

and bread, but also apples and coffee beans

to reflect the conditions at a professional

cheese tasting. Customised private tastings

can be arranged as well.

How to become Parisian in one hour?A D V E R T O R I A L

As tourists or expats in Paris

there are some quirks we

have all noticed among the

Parisians, the way they march

to their destinations, their

constant pouting and the

way they order at restaurants.

Olivier Giraud, the very

talented and handsome

comedian, has too, noticed

that the Parisians are unique

in their behaviour, and has

decided to bring all those

idiosyncrasies to light.

Born in Bordeaux, Olivier

moved to Paris to study

hotel management and after

graduating he moved to

the Unites States where he

managed a restaurant of a

5-star hotel. After four years,

and many soul-searching

nights, he decided to return

to France and follow his

real dream of becoming a

comedian.

Having experienced the

cultural di� erences between

the Parisians and Americans

while in Florida, and having

observed for himself the

tourists of all nationalities

in Paris, he decided to not

shy away from the hard-

hitting questions of how

one becomes a real Parisian.

How do you grab a waiter’s

attention in a café? In the

metro, what do you do if you

see an older lady or a pregnant

woman? And how do you

behave in a cab?

Putting together a one man

show, How to be Parisian

in one hour?, the stand-up

comic will leave you rolling

in your seat from laughter

and 100% prepared for any

situation in the City of Light.

Entirely performed in English,

it is a great show for everyone,

including Parisians who will

no doubt get a good laugh at

themselves.

It is not an easy feat to master

the Parisian attitude but Olivier

has put together a fail-proof

guideline of French etiquette

that will leave you embracing

the oh la la factor.

Non-stop laughter from a real

Parisian guaranteed to leave

you wanting more.

magical feast for the eyes and ears. Daily 8 pm

Paris is crossed by 14 Métro lines

and five RER (express suburban)

Your Guide to the World

If one of our readers is only in Paris for

24 hours what one thing would you

recommend they do?

A visit to Musée d’Orsay, as it is definitely

a unique place. Then I would recommend

discovering the streets of Paris by

walking through some of its very Parisian

neighbourhoods. I would also recommend

dining in an authentic Parisian bistro.

particularly like the view from the river Seine’s

bridges. For example the view from the Pont

des Arts, between the Institut de France and

the Louvre, with the river inviting visitors to

daydream.

As the fashion capital, which areas do you

think showcase the best fashions?

Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Saint-Germain

and the Grands Boulevards!

see while visiting the French capital

Alain Ducasse’s bistros are perfect. I suggest

Benoît, Aux Lyonnais or Allard.

Paris is well-known for its magnificent

The Eiffel Tower remains an icon. So is the

view from the Sacré Coeur. But personally, I
