utumn in Paris brings in a superb season of art through exhibitions, fairs, in galleries and in the great outdoors.
An Atmospheric Art Elysées A festive world of modern, contemporary art, design and urban art unfolds in the midst of October in Paris when the autumn art fair, Art Elysées - Art & Design, held for the 11th time this year, offers a dynamic stage for art and design during the French capital’s autumn art fête. Four ephemeral pavilions emerge on the Avenue des Champs-Elysées each housing a distinct section of the fair: modern art, contemporary art, design and urban art. The event offers an opportunity for art dealers and collectors to intermingle, but, too, an opportunity for the public at large to discover fine art galleries and to engage with a full range of art works in diverse mediums. The exhibitors at Art Elysées - Art & Design are chosen by a committee that ensures the authenticity, quality and general interest of the works presented. This year the contemporary and modern art sections showcase some 70 galleries from France and abroad while the design section has been enlarged to bring together some 15 galleries featuring 20th and 21st century pieces from Scandinavia, Finland, France and Italy. Meanwhile, the
Carré Rive Gauche, a group of galleries in the 6th and 7th arrondissements, is participating in the show, presenting a selection of pieces from 15 of the galleries in the group. Each year Art Elysées hosts exhibitions within the pavilions and this year the art pavilion will be presenting an exhibition by Fred Kleinberg entitled Odysée and which explores human migration. Meanwhile, the public can discover two exhibitions in the heart of the design pavilion. One show, curated by Jean-François Declercq, the founder of the Belgian art centre, Atelier Jespers, puts the spotlight on several generations of Belgian designers. A second show is devoted to design of the second half of the 20th century and presents objects from the landmark industrial design collection of Jean-Bernard Hebey. Art Elysées in conjunction with the magazine ArtsHebdoMédias, is presenting in the 8e Avenue pavilion, which is devoted to urban art, a discovery of Mobile Art with SemanticPaint, applicative works and artistic QR codes. A Fine FIAC The FIAC, the International Contemporary Art Fair, being held for the 44th time this year, brings together beneath the captivating glass cupola of the Grand Palais some 192 leading galleries from 29 countries showcasing modern and contemporary art. Design is also returning to the FIAC this year with five internationally known galleries showcasing 20th and 21st century design. Galeries Lafayette, the FIAC’s official partner, is hosting the Secteur Lafayette, w w w.wh e re t r ave l e r. com 19

a space of 10 young galleries featuring emerging talents, offering a certain visibility to young creators during this major art rendezvous. The On Site part of the show located inside the Petit Palais across the way and on the Avenue President Wilson presents sculptures and installation works while performance art takes centre stage in the Palais de la Découverte with the Parades for FIAC part of the fair. This year the FIAC has given carte blanche to the American artist Oscar Tuazon who will exhibit a work on the Place Vendôme underscoring the problem of water shortages in collaboration with the Chantal Crousel gallery and in partnership with the Swiss Mirabaud financial institution. Other venues taking part in the fair include the Tuileries Garden with installation works and the Musée National Eugène Delacroix in conjunction with the Louvre. Exhilarating Exhibitions With exhibitions devoted to the great masters like André Derain, Paul Gauguin and David Hockney, the city’s museums are offering a rich programme featuring modern and contemporary art throughout the month. The Centre Pompidou, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, is presenting the show André Derain, 1904-1914. The Radical Decade, which through a host of works, takes a fresh look at this major 20th century artist tracing the various stages of his career before the First World War when he was involved in the most radical of avantgarde movements. Also on at the Centre Pompidou is a spectacular retrospective devoted to the contemporary artist David Hockney being held in collaboration with London’s Tate Britain and the Metropolitan Museum of New York. The exhibition celebrates the artist’s 80th birthday through more than 160 works in diverse mediums including his most iconic paintings like the spectacular swimming pools. Meanwhile, the Grand Palais is hosting a superb show devoted to Paul 20 W HE RE PA R I S I O C TO B E R 2017
Gauguin. Entitled Gauguin the Alchemist, the show offers an exceptional journey into the fascinating creative process of this major artist. This all-encompassing show brings together over 200 of his works in a host of mediums including 53 paintings, 28 ceramics, 44 sculptures and wooden objects, 69 engravings and 35 drawings. And over at the Musée Maillol, an immersion into the world of Pop Art awaits with the show Pop Art, Icons that Matter with the works emanating from the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. The Whitney is an anthological collection of American art of the 20th century and it possesses masterpieces of Pop Art in the mediums of paintings, sculptures and impressions. The show brings together some 60 works by, among others, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, the initiators of the movement, Andy Warhol, Jim Dine and Roy Lichtenstein.

Rolling vineyards, manor houses and castles, charming provincial towns like Jarnac, Segnozac and Cognac, which gives its name to one of the world’s most celebrated spirits emerge some 465 kilometres south of Paris. The geographically limited region of Cognac extends along the banks of the Charente River, which Henri IV of France called the most beautiful stream in his kingdom. It was in the 17th century that towns in the Cognac region began producing the world-class brandy it is known for today. The spirits of the region, perhaps because of the proximity to the sea, and perhaps because of the effects of lime in
Cognac received its AOC, the French Appellation of Controlled Origin in 1936, meaning that its quality is controlled by strict and permanent controls. It can only be distilled from grapes grown mainly in the Charente and CharenteMaritime regions as well as a few towns in the Dordogne and the Deux-Sèvres. There are six geographical divisions within these regions and six corresponding grades of cognac ranging from the Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois, Bons Bois and Bois Ordinaires. Only the first two grades, regarded as the best, go into the making of Grande Fine Champagne. This

is traditionally ordered up as a “fine” in a café. Cognac is distilled from white wine of the Ugni Blanc grape variety with to a much lesser extent the Colombard and Folle Blanche varieties. The distillation takes place once the fermentation of the wine is finished at the end of the year. Cognac undergoes a double distillation in the copper pot stills, known as Charente stills. Once the cognac to be has been double distilled it is placed into oak casks, which enhance its colour and flavour. Cognac is a blend and therein is found one of its secrets. Several months before bottling, the individual firm’s tasters and cellar masters choose the brandies (the eaux-de-vie) to be assembled together, but that is only part of the cellar master’s work whose craft is akin to that of a

World famous names emerge on the cognac landscape in and around Cognac and the neighbouring towns and countryside. Entering a house is a journey into another world, a burnished world, surrounded by casks of ages. Founded in 1809 by Louis Gallois and Emmanuel Courvoiser as a wine and spirits business based in Bercy, then outside of Paris, the house of Courvoisier remains indelibly linked to 19th century France. Napoleon Bonaparte would visit the trade in 1811 and decided to give his artillery troops a ration of cognac to boost morale. The founders’ sons Félix Courvoisier and Jules Gallois would move the business to Jarnac to exercise more control over the quality of cognac and created the company Courvoiser in 1843. Today, the house of Courvoisier still lies on the Charente River in the sleepy town of Jarnac. A mythical name in the world of cognac, the house was the official supplier to the court of Napoleon III and Courvoisier was served at the dinner at the Eiffel Tower for the structure’s inauguration in 1889 where it was enjoyed by guests that included Buffalo Bill and Thomas Edison and today it continues to grace tables the world over. Cognacs of exception are assembled at Courvoiser, of note its Napoleon cognac made with finely aged brandies, the youngest of which has been in the oak casks for 20 years. The Essence de Courvoisier is assembled from over 100 rare brandies, giving the spirit a golden amber colour and a delicate taste bringing to mind liquorice. w w w.wh e re t r ave l e r. com 15

Back in the 19th century Abel Tesseron acquired a property in Châteauneuf-sur-Charente to house his passion for collecting rare and priceless cognacs before going on to making and ageing his own eaux-de-vie and cognacs. In 1905 he founded the Maison Abel Tesseron and adopted his policy of building up stocks of eaux-de-vie, which he conserved in the 12th century crypt of his property. His son Guy joined him in 1940 and together they perfected their art of ageing cognacs, but it wasn’t until the early years of 2000 that these cognacs emerged to a small circle of connoisseurs outside of the Cognac region, when Guy Tesseron’s children, Alfred and Gérard, embodying the third generation, began to set down the foundations for their own brand, Tesseron Cognac to begin selling, commercially, bottlings from their collections. Today, the president, Alfred, and his niece Mélanie Tesseron perpetuate the family tradition offering unique and carefully composed elixirs assembled by cellar master Romain Martial. The house’s line of very top shelf cognacs called XO and Beyond is brought out in very limited quantities. 16 W HE RE PA R I S I O C TO B E R 2017

A wine grower founded the house of Rémy Martin in 1724 and it has been a family run business for nearly 300 years headed up by two families, Rémy Martin and Hériard Dubreuil. The house, headquartered in Cognac, elaborates its elixirs from the grapes that come from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne vineyards and continues to distil all of its cognacs on the lees in small copper stills. In the 1960s André Hériard Dubreuil established what is today called the Alliance Fine Champagne, an equitable and long-lasting partnership with some 900 winegrowers. The house’s emblem, a centaur, a symbol chosen by Paul Emile Rémy Martin in 1870, is known throughout the world and it was also Paul Emile who created the famous Louis XIII cognac, regarded as the king of cognacs, produced by the house. Today, Baptiste Loiseau carries on the sacred tradition of cellar master at the house checking the casks, tasting and blending the eaux-de-vie. The house of Rémy Martin has also received the prestigious Living Heritage Label.

The House of Hennessy: A Journey
ichard Hennessy, an Irish officer in the service of the king of France, founded the venerable house of the same name in 1765 and it was one of the first houses to export to the United States with the first recorded sale in New York in 1794. Today, through Les Visites Hennessy you can explore the world of Hennessy guided by experts who take visitors on a backstage tour to learn about the complex and mysterious world of the cognac-making process while offering a look at the people behind it. Visitors can plunge into the world of eight generations of the Hennessy family and the Fillioux family, the house’s master blenders. The house is found on both banks of the Charente River in Cognac for the ageing cellar storehouses sit on the banks of the Charente River in Cognac across from the house’ s headquarters on the opposite bank. The tours are designed around crossings of the Charente in a solar-powered boat with the journey between the two river banks evoking the journeys once made on the river by barges carrying the barrels of cognac to sea ports. The tour starts off with a visit to the Pavilions Cellar with a contemporary design by the Aimko design agency incorporating noble and sustainable materials like wood, glass and copper, and it is here that the 250-year-old history of the house and the Hennessy family can be explored. In an ageing cellar storehouse, filled with
oak casks, visitors are taken into the heart of the eau-de-vie or brandy making process. The tour winds up with a tasting workshop in which the house’s experts explain the different steps in cognac production and visitors learn the theory and practice of tasting like a professional as they taste. The Hennessy Signature tours are limited to 25 people and are available all year round with or without a reservation. In addition to the 80-minute Hennessy Signature visit three tours adding special features to the Signature tour can be reserved. The Hennessy X.O. Symbole visit offers an insight into Hennessy X.O., one of the house’s most iconic products. Hennessy Exception is an exceptional tasting of the house’s precious cognacs in a private salon combined with a tour of the Paradis cellar where the house’s oldest eaux-de-vie are stored. The à la carte tour features a private guide and a visit to the house’s exceptional locations that are usually closed to the public and winds up with a tasting session in a private room. The latter two tours need to be reserved in advance. HENNESSY 8 rue de la Richonne, 16100 Cognac, 05 45 35 06 44 For online ticketing visit lesvisites.hennessy.com

Taking its name from a mineral, the Malachite collection includes pieces that glow with a myriad of green offsetting the carving appearance of the jewellery.

A Time Machine Classic, precision watchmaking is embodied in A.Lange & Söhne’s Tourbograph Perpetual, the fifth masterpiece timepiece in the house’s Pour le Mérite series. The watch combines five complications, the fuséeand-chain transmission with a tourbillon, a chronograph, a rattrapante function and a perpetual calendar, making for a peerless timepiece. The fusée-and-chain transmission is one of the most effective complications for increasing the rate accuracy of a mechanical watch. The watch is housed in a stately platinum case with a diameter of 43 millimetres while the dial is outfitted with Arabic numerals, blued steel hands for the time and rhodiumed gold hands for the calendar. Thermally blued screws, screwed gold chatons, bridges and plates made of untreated German silver and decorated with Glashütte ribbing and perlage round out the watch’s features. The Tourbograph Perpetual Pour le Mérite, a reference to the Prussian order conferred for exceptional scientific merit, has been brought out in a limited edition of 50 watches. - P.V.

Comfort for Millennials Tommy Hilfiger has given way to Citadium with the multi-brand store taking over the American designer’s boutique on the Avenue des Champs-Elysées. The prime location gives the streetwear store a very desirable address to go perfectly with its very desirable range of millennial fashion. Sprawled over three floors, Citadium offers millennial males a floor dedicated to them, and only them, with brands such as Carrhatt, Adidas and Human with Attitude making the cut and being showcased in the street art décor of the store. Of course any millennial will not be worth his salt in owning his “I’m ironically wearing affordable-looking expensive clothes” look without the trademark sneaker option for footwear, and with that in mind the third floor awaits with its entirety dedicated to the comfortable footwear with flashbacks to the 80s that millennials love to reference with Nike, Reebok and Converse only some of the names helping the cool hipsters complete their “everything old is new again” cool look.

Shapely Nana The joyful and iconic works of Niki de Saint Phalle are taking centre stage in an exhibition entitled Belles! Belles! Belles! The Women of Niki de Saint Phalle, being held at the Galerie Georges-Philippe & Nathalie Vallois. A selection of some 20 works among her most emblematic of the 1960s and 1970s are on display. Her celebrated sculptural and sculpted Nanas underscore the innovative, feminine and avant-gardist aspects of her work. She created her first Nana in 1965 and already in the 1960s the artist denounced the conventional, clichéd representation of women. In her Nana works the woman’s body becomes emancipated transformed into womanly shapes that are exuberant, monumental, and powerful. Through to October 21st 33 & 36 rue de Seine (6th), 01 46 34 61 07
Yves Saint Laurent, the Museum The museum devoted to the French designer Yves Saint Laurent is opening its doors this month on the premises of his former haute couture house. It will open up with a retrospective of some 50 of his designs alongside accessories, sketches, photographs and videos. The collection, which is owned by the Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent, enables visitors to see the entire creative process that went into designing a garment. Further contributing to the strength of the collection was Saint Laurent’s decision to keep a selection of prototypes, beginning in 1962, from each collection. These prototypes are the version of the model that he designed, executed in the ateliers according to his instructions and which was later shown on the runway. The prototype was conserved along with its matching accessories such as jewellery, shoes, gloves and hats. The collection comprises every haute couture collection that Yves Saint Laurent presented between 1962 and 2002.

CHEN JIANG-HONG Untitled Oil on canvas, 150 x 150 cm
A large and colourful feline in a boat, crossing a desert of pink and purple sands and worlds on the shore where water holds sway, the paintings of Boissegur offer a journey into dream-like worlds filled with hidden messages and premonitions. Through the artist’s use of oil and multiple richly coloured pigments, skies and backgrounds seem endless in landscapes ranging from Brooklyn to the West Indies. Humans emerge early in the day in settings punctuated by red balloons or a red buoy. Boissegur’s styles range from the Surrealist to the Figurative to the Abstract with the works encompassing a palette ranging from ochre to golds, greens, and the colours of the dawn and red. The town hall of the first arrondissement of Paris is hosting a retrospective devoted to the artist.

An intriguing photographic dialogue between father and son is being played out at the Maison Européen de la Photographie featuring the pictures of Richard Bartholomew and his son Pablo Bartholomew. The former was a renowned art critic, writer and painter though the public at large did not know his photography. Upon his death in 1985 he left behind 17,000 negatives, intimate portraits of his family and friends. His son, Pablo is an awardwinning photographer who began taking pictures, of his friends, at the age of 15 after being expelled from school. The show, fittingly entitled Affinities, juxtaposes photographs by father and son that are striking by their similarities though they are separated in some cases by 25 years. The show offers a look at the cultural and intellectual life in India from the 1950s to the 1970s and reveals a unique portrait of Indian society. Through to October 15th 5/7 rue de Fourcy (4th), 01 44 78 75 00
A Famous Fair Now in its 114th year, the prestigious Salon d’Automne, since the early 20th century, has been a platform from which major artists and movements have emerged. The fair, an association of artists supported by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication, was a reaction to Academic Art, which held sway at the beginning of the 20th century, and the first show, in 1903, was organised by, among others Bonnard, Rouault and Matisse. This year the show, which is held on the Avenue des Champs-Elysées, is presenting some 900 artists from 45 countries displaying works in a host of mediums including engravings, sculptures, paintings, drawings, digital art and environmental art. This year Jacques Villeglé, a major figure of the New Realist movement, is the event’s ambassador. A cultural programme of concerts, conferences, round tables, lectures and a fashion show round out the agenda.

An Engaging Encounter The highly original, eclectic and unclassifiable works by the contemporary American artist Daniel Brush are being showcased in an exhibition being held in the exhibition space in the Ecole des Arts Joailliers, which is supported by the high jewellery house of Van Cleef & Arpels. Artist, historian and connoisseur of fairy tales, Brush creates sculptural art jewels, paintings, sculptures, objects and drawings in his studio in Manhattan working with a variety of materials ranging from gold to steel, aluminium, paper and ink. He draws his inspiration from diverse sources like jazz, Japanese Noh theatre and Pre-Columbian art. Entitled Cuffs and Necks, the show brings together his sculptural cuff bracelets, dog collar necklaces, paintings, drawings and art objects. From October 13th through to October 31st From Monday to Saturday, 2pm to 7pm 31 rue Danielle Casanova (1st), 01 70 70 36 00
The Caillebotte family began to live in Yerres, a picturesque town some 20 kilometres from Paris, in 1860 when the painter-to-be Gustave Caillebotte was 12-years-old. They would remain in the home until 1879 and during his years there the artist would paint portraits of family, friends, vistas and viewpoints from the property’s magnificent 11-hectare park. This natural setting would inspire over 90 of the artist’s paintings including 20 devoted to the scenic river, the Yerres that borders the park. Today, visitors can discover the park and the home, which over the course of a 20-year restoration has been returned to its 19th century splendour. Caillebotte who was personally wealthy also supported fellow painters like Claude Monet and Edouard Manet, and he would exhibit in and help organise the Impressionist fairs of the latter part of the 19th century. Today, the Caillebotte property is regarded as a high place of Impressionism and is part of the Destination Impressionnisme network.

GOSCINNY, THE GRAND
L
a Cinémathèque française is paying tribute to the French comic book writer René Goscinny the author of amongst other works Lucky Luke and Asterix, in an exhibition entitled Goscinny and the Cinema, Asterix, Lucky Luke and Company. The show, being held 40 years after his death, demonstrates the influence cinema had on his work as well as taking a look into the movies that he made himself. The show underscores how the cinema and its most mainstream genres like westerns, peplums and burlesque, were parodied and magnified by a creator who drew inspiration from his immense knowledge of cinema. Before launching into filmmaking in his own right when he created the Studios Idéfix in 1974, Goscinny was the gagman for Bourvil, the scriptwriter for television dramas for Jean Rochefort and the screenwriter for his friend Pierre Tchernia for cult films like Le Viager and The Holes. With his own films produced at the Studios Idéfix like The Twelve Tasks of Asterix and Lucky Luke, he contributed greatly to the inception of the French school of animated cinema. “I left for the United States with the hope of working for Walt Disney, but Walt Disney didn’t know it,” Goscinny once said,” I admire Walt Disney, it was his creations that inspired me to
do what I do.” It was in Buenos Aires where the Paris-born Goscinny grew up that he discovered classics of American cinema like Laurel & Hardy and Buster Keaton. The exhibition also shows how the characters of Goscinny and his fellow creators, among them Uderzo and Sempé continued their career on the silver screen through other producers and filmmakers turning characters like Asterix and Obelisk, Lucky Luke, Petit Nicolas and Iznogoud into international stars. Goscinny was nicknamed Walt Goscinny by his friend Gotlib and today one of the avenues that leads up to Disneyland Paris is named avenue René Goscinny. The exhibition is made up of five sections and takes the visitor on a journey into the artist’s life and works.
La Cinémathèque française is home to one of the finest collections and archives in the world devoted to film. It was back in 1936 that Henri Langlois, a French film archivist, cinephile and a pioneer in film preservation, created La Cinémathèque française to save from destruction films, projection machines, costumes, posters and other cinematic treasures. He would be given an Honorary Oscar in 1974, “for his untiring devotion to the art of film, for his massive contributions towards preserving its historical past and for his unswerving faith in its future.”

t emerges from its island setting, a mystical, mythical château reflected in the surrounding waters of the Indre, seemingly a shimmering mirage.
The Château of Azay-le Rideau, built during the reign of Francis I on the ruins of a feudal castle between 1518 and 1527 by Gilles Berthelot, advisor and then treasurer of the king, is regarded as a masterpiece of the first French Renaissance. Its striking setting along with its diverse French and Renaissance Italian features like the rising dormer windows, steeply sloping slate roof, the grand central staircase rising in straight flights and sculpted decorations have made it one of the most famous castles of the Loire Valley. Royal guests over the years have included Louis XIII and Louis XIV. The great French writers Prosper Merimée and Honoré de Balzac were 19th century visitors with Balzac describing Azay as “a faceted diamond set in the Indre”. Following a three-year restoration by the Centre des Monuments Nationaux, visitors can discover the castle in a new way, catching a glimpse into the French lifestyle of the 19th century when the château was at its apogee. While both of its wings were built in the early years of the 16th century, the château took on its final shape in the 19th century. The restoration work focused in on the roof and facades but also concentrated on reconstituting on the ground floor all of the luxury and comfort of its last private owners, the Biencourt family, enabling the visitor to plunge into the art of living in the 19th century. Charles de Biencourt, the Marquis of Biencourt, purchased the château in 1791 and the family would greatly embellish it during the 19th century paying utmost attention to furniture and furnishings. Up on the first floor Les Enchantments d’Azay has been installed with works by contemporary artists inspired by the castle’s collections and the Renaissance. Installations by Piet.sO and Peter Keene include miniature 60 W HE RE PA R I S I O C TO B E R 2017
automats and a banquet enjoyed by a host of animated creatures. On this floor the visitor can also discover the Renaissance bedroom of the wife of its first owner. The château is surrounded by a unique park with a host of flora including the American tulip tree, the sequoia, the bald cypress and a magnificent array of hydrangeas. Meanwhile, winding walkways offer interesting perspectives onto the château and with its river location, the park is home to some 60 species of dragonflies, some of which are endangered.

Pasta, Please After opening two of the best restaurants on the Left Bank, Ze Kitchen Galerie and KGB, exceptionally talented chef William Ledeuil has a new hit on his hands with the delightful Kitchen Ter(re), an art-gallery-like restaurant specialising in pastas made with flour from stone-ground heirloom grains. This excellent new table was born of a chance meeting arranged by one of Ledeuil’s suppliers, Michel Bachès. Bachès, whose farm is located in Eus near Perpignan, supplies Ledeuil with the citrus fruits that are a key ingredient in his cooking, and he was the one who introduced him to Roland Feuillas, a miller and baker in Cucugnan twenty miles northwest of Perpignan. What especially drew Ledeuil to Feuillas’s pasta is that it beautifully absorbs the mostly Asian influenced bouillons and sauces that have made his reputation. Among Ledeuil’s favourite ingredients are galangal, basil, ginger, Japanese seaweed, lemongrass, coconut milk, and coriander, and he also uses a variety of typically southeast Asian cooking techniques, including steaming, bouillons, marinades and juxtapositions of raw and cooked ingredients in the same dish to create a contrast of textures. Start with the deliciously rich gazpacho or the steak tartare seasoned with Sobressada, a soft pork sausage from Mallorca, and then try the Dentelle de Cucugnan pasta with cuttlefish, tomato, galangal and lemon or maybe the coquillettes (little shells) in Thai bouillon redolent of fresh herbs. Desserts are excellent, too, including pandanus-flavoured coconut milk soup with raspberry coulis or the gianduja chocolate with coffee and miso. – Alexander Lobrano Kitchen Ter(re) 26 blvd Saint-Germain (5th), 01 42 39 47 48 w w w.wh e re t r ave l e r. com 69

Mediterranean Dining at Palais de Tokyo The latest address from the Paris based Quixotic Projects group, which has signed some of the hippest bars and restaurants in the French capital, including Le Mary Celeste and Candelaria, is Les Grands Verres, which is located in a stark but striking space in the Palais de Tokyo. Sleek oak chairs at a long counter, oak-framed black banquettes, and dangling single-bulb suspension lamps make this 170-seater new venue look like a contemporary art gallery, and young American chef Preston Miller’s modern Mediterranean menu is a roster of temptation that caters to all appetites and is vegetarianfriendly. Begin your meal with one of the superb cocktails created by mixologist Hyacinthe Lescoët, the previous head bartender of Le Mary Céleste who recently won the first prize at the famous Chivas Masters France contest, and then peruse the menu, which is different at brunch, lunch and dinner. Stopping by for dinner, we started with three appetisers to be shared, heirloom tomatoes and melon with candied garlic and tahini, curried mussels with parsley butter, and grilled marinated vegetables with labneh. Next, spiralini pasta with clams, whey butter, horseradish and mint and milkbraised pork shoulder with smoked aubergine, new potatoes and chicarrón were succulent delights. Desserts were excellent as well, including grilled peaches with yogurt-cashew ice-cream and chocolate sumac torte with rose meringue. – A.L. Les Grands Verres 13 ave du Président Wilson (16th), 01 85 53 03 61
Les Foodies, a stylish new modern bistro in the Marais is an ideal address for lunch while visiting one of the most charming neighbourhoods in Paris. Chef Davide Calloni, who’s of Thai-Italian background and grew up in Milan before roving the world to cook in places as diverse as Mongolia and Mexico, has created a light, fresh, creative menu with an intriguingly cosmopolitan character. If you fancy an aperitif, the one not to miss is Le Saint Germain, which is made with elderflower cordial and is gently floral and very refreshing. Then start with the baby pea soup with courgettes, mint and almonds or the langoustine tartare with fava beans, pancetta and Pecorino, and then try the roasted duck breast with white asparagus, orange and black garlic, or maybe the grilled squid with rice noodles, peas and feta cheese. Service is friendly and efficient, and there’s a good wine list, too. N.B. They’re open for brunch on Sundays. – A.L.

Hotel Dining Aside from its well-mixed cocktails and very good Italian cooking, the main reason to come to Ristorante National, in a stunningly chic but low-key new hotel, is the spectacular décor of the atrium dining room, which has a glass roof that slides open when weather allows. Only recently opened, this place is already pulling in a chic international crowd who come to dine on dishes like burrata with borage, trofie pasta with pesto sauce, linguine with bottarga and sea bass baked with cherry tomatoes. The dessert not to miss is the Sicilian pistachio cream with pistachio ice-cream. Service is charming and there are some excellent Italian wines on the list. – A.L.

Overlooking the atmospherically moody canal Saint-Martin in the 10th arrondissement, Two Stories showcases the succulent Creole cooking of New Orleans, a kitchen that’s a distinctive and delicious mixture of French, Spanish, African-American, Native American and other cuisines. On the ground floor, the casual Po Boy Café serves up such succulent Cajun classics as Jambalaya, which is a mixture of shrimp, ham and sausage served over rice, and gumbo, made here with house-smoked pork sausages, chicken and okra. A variety of excellent and very generously garnished sandwiches are also served, including braised beef with smoked Cheddar and Creole sauce, New Orleans-style fried chicken, and Andouille (homemade Cajun sausage). Since American owner Rachel Moeller also runs a bakery specialising in such Yankee desserts as cheesecake, brownies and pecan pies, desserts here are outstanding and the one not to miss is the sour-cherry pudding. Upstairs, Nola, an acronym for New Orleans, LA, has the casually elegant ambiance of a restaurant in that city’s French Quarter and serves a more gastronomically ambitious menu. Start with Louisianastyle crayfish with artichokes or the charred aubergine salad, and then try the quail gumbo or the succulent braised and grilled pork belly with carrot puree. Don’t miss the strawberry shortcake made with biscuits, strawberries and buttermilk ice-cream for dessert. – A.L.

French High Tea It is time to celebrate the fact that summer is over and indulge, without the guilt of having to worry about fitting into your swimsuit, and if we had to recommend a place to do so it would have to be at La Bauhinia for the sweetest high tea in town. Pastry chef Michaël Bartocetti has deliciously created the L’Heure du Gouter, high tea à la Française, which celebrates the French’s favourite childhood treats. Served every Saturday and Sunday between 4 and 6pm, L’Heure du Goûter is an inviting buffet of what sweet dreams are made of with French pastries sitting scrumptiously side by side just waiting for the picking. Paris Brest, millefeuille and éclairs are only some of the creamy delights enticingly laid out on the elegantly dressed tables. And if you are feeling extra forgiving do yourself a delicious favour and leave room for Bartocetti’s chocolate chip cookie with dollops of caramel, best enjoyed like nobody is watching, by dipping it in your cup of coffee. - S.I.

Pop-Up Tapas Another tapas bar taking over the little black book of Parisian addresses is Takaramono. The pop-up bar takes over Petite Amour every Friday and Saturday night from 7pm to midnight and is where you can sip on natural wines and sake. Dressed in retro pastel colours, the natural wine bar hosts a revolving programme of music and tapas dishes and is a great spot for a catch up with friends on the weekend, and an opportunity to see where hipster Parisians dwell. Takaramono Petite Amour 3 rue de la Fidélité (10th)
Restaurant and bar Bonhomie is one of our favourite spots for cocktail hour in the French capital. The chic establishment is hidden in a side street of the bustling 10th arrondissement of Paris and where the on-trend Parisians flock to on any night of the week for a drink at the bar. The cocktail menu here changes on a regular basis, much like the restaurant’s, keeping up with the seasons and offering Mediterranean-inspired drinks using only the freshest ingredients, which have included Greek melon in previous cocktail offerings to bring a little taste of the Greek isles to Paris. You can order tapas at the bar to enjoy with your drinks or make your way to the restaurant section where you can sample the chef’s modern take on tapas dining.

ADVERTORIAL
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 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 differences 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 become 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. This is THE PERFECT GUIDE to enjoy Paris and the Parisians!

Museum Mansions By Patricia Valicenti
Paris has a number of fine museums that were once private mansions inhabited in times of yore by among others, bankers, economists, writers and artists, often surrounded by their extensive art collections. The Italian patriot Henri Cernuschi moved to Paris in the second half of the 19th century where he became known as an economist and a savvy investor. He went on a world tour accompanied by the art critic Théodore Duret from September 1871 returning in January of 1873. During his stay in China and Japan he would acquire some 4000 works of art that would form the heart of his collection. Shortly after his return he would purchase the last parcel of empty land on the Avenue Vélasquez, which today borders the Parc Monceau and asked the architect William Bouwens van der Boijen to build a private mansion for him. He would live there on the third floor surrounded by his works of art. The home was built in the neo-Classic style in vogue in Italy in 1840 and on the facade are two mosaic medallions, one of Aristotle and the other depicting Leonardo da Vinci. Inside one enters into a high-ceilinged immense room where the immense bronze Buddha acquired by Cernuschi in Japan sits in majesty. Upon his death he bequeathed the home and collections to the city of Paris and today the beautifully appointed private mansion houses the city’s museum devoted to the art of Asia. The permanent collections are housed on the first floor while the ground floor is devoted to temporary exhibitions.
Meanwhile, perched on the hills of the Passy neighbourhood, today one of the wealthiest in the city, the Maison de Balzac is the last of the writer’s homes in Paris that remains today. It was on this property that Honoré de Balzac, from 1840 to 1847, would correct his work, the Human Comedy in its entirety and write a number of his masterpieces. The property is located on a site that has been inhabited since the Middle Ages and it remains one of the last examples of the pastoral atmosphere of Passy, which was a village outside of Paris when Balzac lived there. The writer rented an apartment, under the name of Monsieur de Breugnol, in an outbuilding on the property replete with a dining room, living room, garden and cellar. Today, the private mansion on the property is the Maison de Balzac, a museum devoted to the writer, exhibiting his personal objects, paintings and engravings and a large collection of original manuscripts and editions.

Paris Metro Paris is crossed by 14 Métro lines and five RER (express suburban) lines, all numbered and named for their final destination (terminus). Did you know that there are 300 stations that make up Paris’ metro system?
96 W HE RE PA R I S I O C TO B E R 2017
Each Métro trip requires one ticket regardless of how many transfers you make, though you must buy an extra ticket for the RER outside the city limits. Keep your ticket until you exit.
Tickets are sold in all stations and in cafés (tabacs) with a ticket sign outside, single (1.90€/2€ if purchased on a bus) or by 10 (un carnet - 14.50€). This map includes the new tramway line.
“Paris Visite” passes offer unlimited travel on the Métro and buses (1-day, 2-day, 3-day, 5-day). The Métro and RER start running at 5:30am, and stop around 1 am.
While the Métro is an extremely safe way to travel, watch out for pickpockets in crowded trains and stations. For information in English, call the transportation company (RATP) directly at 08.92.68.41.14.
