PARIS 13 FW19
Cet autre côté du globe je ne l’ai découvert que l’année dernière, à 36 ans, lorsque zigzagant à travers des pays merveilleux j’ai enfin ouvert la page qui me concernait. En Hanoi et les rizières au nord, j’y ai reconnu mon grand-père ; en Saigon et le Delta du Mekong, les récits fantasques de mon original de père.
D’un bout à l’autre de mon histoire s’étendent très exactement 10 116km à vol d’oiseau. Ce n’est pas rien une distance à 5 chiffres, ça fait des heures et des heures de vols.
NAISSANCE DE LA COLLECTION
The towns, alive with the bustling, deafening sound of two-wheelers, people playing badminton in the squares, and the aromas of citronella, coriander and tropical fruits wafting through the air from the market stalls.
I only discovered it last year, that other side of the world, when, at 36 years old, zigzagging across wonderful countries, I finally opened the chapter that concerned me. In Hanoi and its northern rice fields, I recognised my grand-father; in Saigon and the Mekong delta, the whimsical tales told to me by my quirky father.
As the crow flies, my story takes place over exactly 10 116 km, beginning to end. A five-digit distance, meaning hours and hours of flights - that’s quite something!
BIRTH OF THE COLLECTION
Valentin Porcher - Co-founder
In this unique area, with its familiar smells of Vietnam, China, Cambodia and more, its locals have meticulously reproduced a life dreamt up 10 116 km away.
At once a working-class symbol and standard bearer of history, social diversity and openness, the 13th arrondissement of Paris is similar to its counterparts in New York or London, a complete change of scenery. I find it all here, that magic I fell head over heels in love with. Part of my family now lives here, in these huge concrete tours of the Olympiades neighbourhood.
Away from all this, bright green hues and conical hats appear, the karstic mountains emanate from the mist and the buffalos gently pamper the earth.
Dans les villes ça s’agite dans un bordel assourdissant de deux roues, ça joue au badminton sur les places et sur les étals se mélangent les parfums de citronnelle, coriandre et fruits tropicaux. En s’éloignant, le vert quasi fluo et les chapeaux coniques apparaissent, les montagnes karstiques sortent de la brume et les buffles bichonnent la terre. A la fois ouvrier et porte étendard d’Histoire, de mixité et d’ouverture, l’arrondissement numéro 13 de Paris est comme ses semblables de New York ou Londres, un îlot de dépaysement. Je la retrouve un peu ici toute cette magie dont je suis revenu follement amoureux. Une partie de ma famille vie désormais là, dans ces immenses tours de béton de la dalle des Olympiades. Ce quartier unique, aux senteurs du Vietnam, de Chine, du Cambodge et d’ailleurs, où se reproduit méticuleusement une vie rêvée à 10116km d’ici. Valentin Porcher - Co-fondateur
C’est un arrondissement avant tout populaire. Au 19ème siècle, c’était même l’un des plus gros quartiers ouvriers de la capitale. On y trouvait différentes industries, comme par exemple les usines Beghin Say ou la chocolaterie Lombart (1ère entreprise de chocolat en France). Mais aussi bon nombre de menuiseries, tanneries, serrureries, brasseries...
Le 13ème de Paris c’est quoi plus précisément?
Un peu d’Histoire avant de rentrer dans le vif du sujet de la collection.
Nowadays, it is mainly known as being the biggest Asian district of Paris.
Above all, the 13th is a working-class arrondissement. In the 19th century, it was even one of the capital’s largest working-class neighbourhoods. Lots of industries set up shop there, like the Beghin Say factories or the Lombart chocolate factory (the first chocolate company in France). As well as many joineries, tanneries, locksmiths, breweries…
So what is the 13th arrondissement of Paris?
A little bit of history before we delve into the heart of the matter.
WHY THIS NAME ?
Aujourd’hui, il est surtout connu pour être le plus gros quartier asiatique de Paris.
In the early 1980s, the first Vietnamese refugees arrived there, followed by further waves primarily from Cambodia, Laos, and China.
POURQUOI CE NOM ?
Vers 1937, le Maître japonais Mikonosuke Kawashi Shi-Han (introducteur du Judo en Europe) y avait même son Dojo. Au début des années 80 les premiers réfugiés Vietnamiens y sont arrivés, suivis par d’autres vagues en majorité cambodgiennes, laotiennes, puis chinoises.
Not an especially touristy area, walking around it is still an adventure in its own right and offers a total change of scenery.
Around 1937, Japanese master Mikonosuke Kawashi Shi-Han (who introduced Judo in Europe) even built his dojo there.
Relativement peu touristique, s’y promener est pourtant un voyage à part entière et un dépaysement total.
