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.

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.

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”.

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.

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.

best and authentic Indian restaurants in the
French capital, Ashiana. In a spacious dining
area beautifully decorated with artwork
from India, the family-run restaurant offers
a warm welcome, attentive service and an
endless menu of traditional north Indian
dishes. Sample the freshly baked naan bread
with cheese and the slightly spicy samosas
to start then order the butter chicken and
maybe the Dall Tarka, a spicy lentil curry, to
be enjoyed with lightly flavoured basmati
rice. Ashiana also serves authentic, and rich,
desserts such as Kulfi, an Indian ice-cream
made from milk, almonds and pistachio. This

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.”

BACK TO SCHOOL
A gourmet way to go back to
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.

behind fashion label Thierry Mugler.
Dancers, acrobats and singers are joined
onstage with comedians, performers and
models in a vibrant show that reinvents
the traditional cabaret. The show is not
recommended for children.
Dinner and show catered by Fouquet’s starts
at 7:30pm, from 156€. Show only with a glass of
champagne starts at 8pm, from 89€.
Show only starts at 8:45pm (doors open at
8:20), from 56€.

PARADIS LATIN
Le Théâtre Latin was built in 1803 and quickly
became one of the chicest addresses in the
Latin quarter. The theatre was re-built by
Gustav Eiffel in 1889 and renamed the Paradis
Latin. The current show, Paradis à la Folie!, is a
magical feast for the eyes and ears. Daily 8 pm
(130-190€ for dinner & show or 90€ for show &
half a bottle of champagne).

A visit to Musée d’Orsay, as it is definitely
a unique place. Then I would recommend

Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Saint-Germain
