WONDERFUL Waterways
W
aterways wend their way through Paris carving a special and at times a hidden landscape into the city. The Bassin de la Villette is one of the great Parisian water worlds, with its length of 800 meters and its width of 70 metres, it is the largest artificial stretch of water in Paris. It opened in 1808 and was built to link the Canal de l’Ourcq to the Canal Saint-Martin both essential for fluvial traffic in and out of the city. It is a lively spot where shows and concerts are held and there are a host of fun eateries right on the water’s edge. Paris Plage, when the beach and beach activities come to the capital, will open up its Bassin de la Villette venue on July 8th replete with deck chairs, water games and a place in the sun for swimmers for the Bassin is open for swimming. The Bassin de la Villette is also a gateway to La Villette, the park flanked by the Canal de l’Ourcq and the Canal Saint-Denis and filled with prairies, theme gardens and some of the city’s great cultural institutions like the Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie and the Philharmonie de Paris. The Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie, the science and industry museum, houses a wide number of activities, exhibitions and plenty of interactive displays for young and old alike. Current 12 W HE RE PA R I S I J U LY 2017

temporary exhibitions include one devoted to baby animals and another exploring life in the digital age. Meanwhile, outside one finds the sparkling La Géode, a giant hemispheric dome that shows films devoted to nature in 360 degrees. On the other side of the Parc de la Villette crossing over the Canal de l’Ourcq the Philharmonie de Paris is housed in a striking building that was designed by the French architect Jean Nouvel. The heart of the structure is its concert hall, the Grande Salle, with 2400 seats, while the building also houses educational spaces and places for fun workshops, a temporary exhibition space, a conference room, a library, a brasserie and a restaurant. The current temporary exhibition is devoted to the music of Jamaica from Marley to the deejays. The Philharmonie de Paris building forms a complex with the neighbouring Cité de la Musique with its museum, two concert halls and a multi-media library. Just across from the Cité de la Musique is La Grande Halle de la Villette, which is projecting the works of Vincent van Gogh in its temporary exhibition space. The giant 11 metre projections of some 200 reproductions of Van Gogh’s works are accompanied by classical music. On the edge of the Bassin de La Villette,
you can stop in for a craft beer, brewed on the spot, and fun upscale street food at the Paname Brewing Company, which is ensconced in the historic Magasins Généraux de Paris, which was once a warehouse for cereals and wines perched on the banks of the Bassin de la Villette. For a seaside feel enjoy fresh seafood and fish at La Criée right on the water’s edge. La Villette once housed the city’s slaughterhouses and so landmark meat restaurants remain a tradition in the neighbourhood. A case in point being the Boeuf Couronné, which has been an institution since the 1930s and is located across the street from La Philharmonie de Paris. You can enjoy great beef ranging from sirloin to filet, prime rib to rump steak. The Bassin de la Villette wends down to the Canal Saint- Martin, which offers up one of the city’s most unique urban landscapes with its scenic footbridges, swing bridges, nine locks, tree-lined quays and the waterway itself. Napoleon decided to have the canal built in 1802 although it wasn’t finished until 1825, the idea being for it to bring water into the capital and to supply the city’s fountains. In and around the Canal Saint-Martin one finds a wide array of bars, restaurants and eclectic shops lining the sides of this functioning canal.

Over at Artazart there are eclectic cooking utensils, beautiful coffee table books, cookbooks in French and English, elegant paper goods and a selection of Polaroid cameras to instantly immortalise your visit to the Canal Saint-Martin. Next door is the Pop-Up Bensimon where the fashions change regularly and the house’s signature tennis shoes are given a wide berth. Meanwhile, further along the quay Karl Marc John carries original chic and urban wear for women and children and features nice pieces in leather and suede. The merry pink, green and yellow storefronts of the trio of Antoine et Lili boutiques add a bright touch to the canal. The stores respectively carry women’s clothing, items for children and decoration. Many of the items are crafted in the house’s workshops in the Parisian suburb of Aubervilliers while others come from craftsmen from other corners of the world. Recent finds included a gold fabric cat brooch, a tepee and a giraffe music box for kids and for the home a pink flamingo watering can and toucan salt and pepper shakers. Paul Smith opened up his first PS By Paul Smith shop in the Canal Saint Martin neighbourhood. Conceived as a parallel to the Paul Smith line, PS by Paul Smith, for men and women, is a new line, with a young feel and is more affordable. The boutique mixes old and new preserving the architectural characteristics of
the building while bringing in modern furnishings and a fun wall of mobile phones. There are plenty of eateries in the neighbourhood too including the spacious Canaletto Caffè featuring a wide selection of pizza and pasta dishes and nice Italian wines. Chez Prune sits right on the edge of the canal and is a favourite place with locals for having drinks and snacks outdoors. The café retains a certain old Parisian feel and serves excellent dishes of the day for lunch. Fuxia is perched on a side street right by the canal and offers up original cocktails in addition to a seasonal menu featuring authentic Italian fare like a marinated vegetable antipasti or a selection of creamy burrata-based dishes from its Burrata Bar. Meanwhile, L’Atmosphère, which as its name implies has plenty of atmosphere, serves up wellprepared French food like baked Camembert for starters followed by a rack of lamb with carrots, for example and a homemade pear pie for dessert. The canal extends over 4.5 kilometres, two of which are underground for the waterway takes a spectacular plunge beneath the surface near La République before re-emerging at La Bastille as the Bassin de l’Arsenal with its scenic port. And from there all of these water roads ultimately lead to the Seine, which in July is getting ready for Paris Plage, the great beach display that emerges on the
river’s Parisian banks on July 8th and offers water sports, cooling fountains, grass lawns and plenty of chaise lounges and deck chairs. And near where the Seine meets the Bassin de l’Arsenal a host of new venues have opened up including the Parc Rives de Seine, which emerges on the river beneath City Hall in the pedestrian zone. Greenery, places to relax and read, cafés and a spot to repair bicycles are all on hand for a relaxing stroll along the Seine. And there are some fun cafés and eateries right on the banks of the mighty river. Les Docks, Cité de la Mode et du Design houses lively, clubby bars and restaurants, temporary exhibitions, a museum devoted to art in entertainment, events and the French Fashion Institute. For a spectacular view head up to the rooftop with its convivial Australianthemed Café Oz for drinks, good bar food and dancing. Meanwhile, in the Garage venue right on the quay level of Les Docks a giant open-air barbecue, called La Braise, is underway every Tuesday evening from 6pm to 2am accompanied by DJ sets. This season the South African chef Kobus Botha will be at the helm of his braai, the traditional Afrikaner barbecue. And just about where the Bassin de L’Arsenal and the Seine meet is La Démesure sur Seine, a vast terrace right on the water’s edge serving up fine fare and drinks in a country-like atmosphere. You can enjoy prawns grilled with bacon or a plate of tarama to share over cocktails. w w w.wh e re t r ave l e r. com 13

AN ISLAND GETAWAY By Sandra Iskander
16 W HE RE PA R I S I J U LY 2017
Weekend Getaway

Relax and unwind at the Casadelmar Hotel (above) and take in the view from the Bonifacio cliffs (opposite page)
orsica is France’s darling island, where turquoise blue waters and white sand await every summer with open arms to many wealthy French residents from the mainland who have their holiday homes in the island’s popular cities, Porto-Vecchio and Bonifacio. Located in the Mediterranean Sea, the island boasts incredible beaches and marvellous mountains, offsetting the turquoise blue of the sea with the emerald green of the dense forests.
Bonifaccio iStockphoto 2017 © Alxpin; Casadelmar hotel
While technically Corsica is part of France, it has a very different vibe, that of course of being an island, with quaint villages that feel like walking through a postcard. France’s best kept secret is now out and it turns out you don’t need to head to the Caribbean for island vibes and crystal-clear water. So what should you do while on your island getaway? Discover the beaches. The most beautiful beaches on the island are without a doubt Palombaggia and Santa Giulia, which are located in Porto-Vecchio and are arguably some of the most beautiful in Europe, with both boasting incredibly blue waters that invite you to dive into. You can get to the beaches either by car or by boat with Azur Privilège, which operates from the Casadelmar Hotel. Picking you up from the hotel, you will be spoiled by the beautiful views as you feel the wind in your hair as the water gently splashes on your face and the water gradually turns from a dark, midnight blue to turquoise. Both beaches have a restaurant from where you
can reserve a chaise longue for the day and towels, and which of course serve great food. And service doesn’t get better than at Les Trois 2 at Santa Giulia beach with magazines and sunscreen available for your reading pleasure and to make sure you keep your skin protected, and families will find toys, buckets and spades available to them to build sandcastles with their children. Besides tanning and swimming, being on a summer holiday also means enjoying great food, and Corsica offers some of the best Mediterranean cuisine in the region. Two stars define Casadelmar Hotel’s fine dining establishment and Italian chef Fabio Bragagnolo brings his awarded talent from his amuse-bouche to his flavoursome main dishes with his signature dishes, including the cannelloni of sea bass, spider crab and caviar, welcoming your taste buds to the island before pastry chef Claudio Pezzetti sweetens the end of the meal with his creative desserts, including his Granny Smith apple sphere. For an authentic Corsican meal you must reserve a table at Stella d’Oro, a family-run restaurant and is what Corsican cuisine dreams are made of. The signature dish here is the Aubergines à la Bonifaciennes, serving you a seemingly simple dish that once you bite into bursts in your mouth, treating you to the Corsican-style eggplant parmigiana using three different cheeses and a pinch of sugar in the homemade tomato sauce that sweetens the acidity of the tomato. Of course the exact recipe is secret but the worst kept secret is that this dish is the best eggplant dish on the island, if not the world.
For visitors who enjoy a few late nights, make sure you stop at B’52, with crowds spilling onto the footpath facing the marina, you will love the view, music and drinks. If you want a few cocktails but with a little bit less of a crowd stop in next door at La Caravelle Hotel and Restaurant that boasts a former chapel that is now the hotel’s opulent bar, a rather unexpected nook with bare stonewalls, keeping patrons cool even when it is sizzling hot outside, and a baroque décor with a dazzling chandelier. While a trip to Corsica is pretty much one long R&R holiday, take it one step further and book yourself in for a spa treatment at the Spa Espa, where its signature massage is signature to you with the treatment tailored to every guest, creating a bespoke massage every time. The signature treatment, Massage Casadelmar, uses a blend of aromatic essential oils, which come from Corsica’s wild Maquis shrubs, with some grown in the hotel’s very own herb garden, making the treatment even more of a unique experience. Before you leave the island try to find the time to make your way from Porto-Vecchio to Bonifacio. Driving along the windy roads between the two cities will have you take in the sea from high above as you slowly make your way up the Bonifacio cliffs. Once you’re at the top, get out of your car and feel the sea breeze as you are served a spectacular panoramic view of the water down below, a magnificent palette of emerald green and turquoise blue, and on clear days you can see Sardinia across the Mediterranean. w w w.wh e re t r ave l e r. com 17

Back to the 70s Michael Kors’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection is a sophisticated nod to the 70s when flower power was all the rage in fashion trends.

TASAKI PEARLS LIGHT UP Paris Couture Week By Kyra Brenzinger
F
or the past year, the famous Japanese jewellery brand Tasaki, founded in 1954, has set up a high-end boutique in the heart of the Ritz Paris hotel and exclusively unveils its unique creations during Couture Week in Paris. Available on an exclusive basis, the Tasaki brand offers a fine jewellery collection entitled “RITZ PARIS par TASAKI”, the product of the meeting of the two jewellery and luxury hotel legends. Tasaki wanted to create a collection combining tradition and the avantgarde, elegance and innovation. The first edition, entitled “A legend” is inspired by the spirit of the famous Place Vendôme, a symbol of French luxury and elegance. The second collection pays tribute to couture and artisan craftsmanship, for which Paris is famous. Particularly modern, an open choker evokes an openwork neck adorned with bright diamonds, while a necklace is inspired by the brilliant flowers of the famous Ritz garden. When the jewellery expertise of the Tasaki ateliers meets French luxury, the result is an exceptional collection: the taste for balance is mastered in the “Rêve Ritz” piece, the refinement of detail in the “Jardin Secret” piece or the panache in the feather-shaped “The Quintessence of Ritz Paris” necklace. The brand also unveils its collection of watches in its boutique, featuring the Akoya
Japanese pearl, which has helped build the reputation of Tasaki as the world’s leading producer. The “Cluster” cuff link is adorned with pearls, combined with sublime morganites in a pyramid-shaped cut. Gold elements with delicate pinkish hues are named Sakuragold (TM) in tribute to the famous Japanese cherry blossoms. The particularly seductive “Serpentine” watch with a repetition of links evokes the rings of a snake. Recalling the privileged status of Tasaki collaborating exclusively and directly with the De Beers diamond group, this piece radiates what seems like a thousand lights in either a yellow gold or white gold version. The “Refined Rebellion” watch, which leans toward a more
From the top: Necklace “The Quintessence of Ritz Paris”; M/G Tasaki “Segment” ring; Tasaki Timepieces “Cluster”
classic look, is nevertheless the result of a very subtle colour scheme of pink or blue sapphires. The all-diamond version renders a hypnotic effect, drawing one’s gaze to the mother-ofpearl dial and the diamond-shaped tip adorning the crown of the watch. An original collection for lovers of exclusive designs. Available at Le Bon Marché, the Tasaki brand exclusively offers its brand-new M/G Tasaki collection in the iconic department store on the left bank. Created in collaboration with the French-Greek designer Mélanie Georgacopoulos, this collection is particularly bold, allowing one to discover the very heart of the pearl in different creations. The Sliced necklace, cut in two or a ring, adorned with a clever composition of split pearls, encourages one to discover the magic of the nature of a pearl, composed of multiple layers of mother-ofpearl. Whether through its prestigious jewellery of the “RITZ PARIS par TASAKI” line or its ready-towear “M/G TASAKI” lines, the Tasaki brand lends a visionary style to pearls and jewels.

An Ode to JAPANESE DESIGN
B
orn during the second world war, Japanese designer Yumi Katsura was always a dreamer as a girl, she loved reading books especially fairy tales such as Cinderella and Snow White, and she would lose herself in those worlds. Today, the designer continues dreaming, conjuring up beautiful creations that are constantly inspired by her dreamy imagination.
Launching her eponymous fashion house in the 60s, Katsura became known for her bridal wear and slowly became the soughtafter wedding dress designer for Japanese brides. While most other designers were designing kimonos for brides, Katsura became fascinated and was inspired by the western style in bridal wear. Creating couture gowns that were inspired by her childhood dreams of princesses, her bridal collections were celebrated in her home country. Gaining notoriety, the designer moved to Paris, the fashion capital of the world, where she studied at the Chambre Syndicale de Couture and later became one of the first Japanese designers to show her collections in Paris. Her first show in the City of Light was touted as a collection by a designer of dreams. Today, the designer showcases her collections in her Parisian boutique, which she opened over ten years ago. Located on Rue Cambon, the boutique faces the Chanel boutique, which the designer sees as a sign and her destiny to have her flagship boutique
on such an iconic street and across from such an important boutique in Paris.
designs and bring the savoir-faire of Japanese design to the French capital.
Opening her boutique was not only her destiny but it also marked a very important milestone for the designer. Known for her bridal wear, the designer decided she wanted to change the perception that she was just a wedding dress designer, and so when she inaugurated her boutique in Paris she decided to distance herself from that image and decided to focus more on her haute couture
Japanese-made, her designs are colourful and graphic, which appeal to an international clientele with visitors from Russia, America, the Middle East proving to be fans of the fashion house. Ironically her Japanese clients don’t dare to wear her designs found in Paris as they are considered too colourful for them, with the designer explaining that the Japanese a more timid and so in japan her collections are more subdued, with Katsura creating different collections for the two countries with a few pieces in common that work well for the two markets. And although the designer wanted to move away from the traditional kimono wedding dresses when she first started designing, Katsura has come full circle with her current spring/summer haute couture collection drawing inspiration from the traditional dress in japan. Fascinated by the kimono, the designer brings life to the traditional piece of clothing with her own modern flair. Covered in artwork inspired by Japanese painter Itō Jakuchū, her collection is an ode to 18th century Japanese realism art. Bell sleeves, sheer detailing and exquisite floral prints recall Jakuchū’s intricate paintings, coming together to bring ladies a collection of dresses that beautifully intertwines the French savoir-faire in couture and the Japanese traditional and immaculate attention to detail.

delicate decor of hand sculpted white flowers invites the visitor into the refined world created by Maison Abriza just footsteps away from Place Vendôme. Within, one discovers a fairy tale land of precious essence-filled candles ensconced in decorative porcelain chambers bringing together the exceptional knowhow of French master craftsmen. The nine elegant fragrances are made in Grasse and their containers, which come in five designs and two sizes, are crafted in fine white Limoges porcelain in Limoges and beautifully decorated with refined touches of 24-carat enamelled gold. Within are the scented candles. The wax for the candles is poured by the master candle-makers at one of the oldest candle making manufactures in Europe and this step requires a special savoir-faire for the wax must be adapted to each fragrance. It takes two and half months to fashion these decorative candles of luxury. This delicate world of fragrances for the home was imagined by Abriza El Ghandour whose father and grandmother were both perfumers. Her first name, Abriza, is that of her grandmother and means pure gold in ancient Greek. The fragrances, made from rare essences and noble materials, are her memories of her many journeys near and far around the globe. Each fragrance recounts a chapter in Abriza’s life and the names intrigue, among them Crépuscule Blanc (White Twilight), Chant des Mirages (Mirage Song), Délicieux Enchantement (Delicious Enchantment), Comme un Nuage (Like a

Cloud). Fragrance notes include intriguing Neroli, heady musk, captivating incense, bewitching Gurjum balm and delicate Arabian jasmine. Each candle is gifted in an amethyst coloured jewel-box and accompanied by a scroll, which recounts the Perfume Tale, different stories by Abriza for each fragrance, tales born of her life journeys, nostalgia and dreams. Flat, delicately decorated saucers in Limoges porcelain, available in four designs, complement and complete the decorative experience. This spellbinding world of decorative fragrance continues with glass bells, inspired by the bells of the perfumer, to protect
the object while revealing the fragrance to its fullest upon taking it off. Exceptional, numbered pieces are on hand as well. These are the Giants, ornamental objects crafted entirely by hand by a master porcelain craftsman in the Paris region. This candle with its four luminous wicks imparts a perfumed presence on any and every room. For special occasions and gifts, Maison Abriza makes up exceptional presents replete with their very own themed tale.

The Scent of SUMMER By Sandra Iskander

here is nothing better than the feeling of the sun hitting your bare skin, basking in the slight burning tingle from sitting in the sun a little too long, making the most of the summer. And with the summer sun comes summer scents that will be sensory reminders of those precious moments spent along the Seine and walking through the cobblestone streets of the French capital. This summer four of our favourite perfume brands will be the scented souvenir of your trip to Paris.
Another house that focuses on unisex scents is Atelier Cologne and this summer the house’s noses take us to California with their Clémentine California cologne. Sweet clementine from California and mandarin from Italy are deliciously mixed in with pepper from China and basil from Egypt to bring summer lovers a sweet and spicy scent that will linger on the skin.

IRIS CANTABRI Fabulous & Friendly
A
rt, craftsmanship and technology all come together in the clothing created by the French fashion house of Iris Cantabri. Innovation in creation emerges in the designs of Guillaume Michel who created his house, calling it Iris Cantabri, in 2013. His free and spontaneous creative process is played out in his Parisian workshop where he designs the house’s dresses, jackets, tops and skirts for women in limited editions rather than as collections. The creative process of Guillaume Michel begins with an emotion, a desire, a reflection on current events or an artist or a fascination with a work or a place. He graduated from the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne and went on to learn his trade with Emanuel Ungaro and Alexis Mabille before launching his own brand. The designer works directly on living models in order to perfectly tailor the clothing. Values and ethics are the hallmarks of the brand with Iris Cantabri committed to limiting waste, promoting eco-friendly fabrics and local savoir-faire all the while working with family companies and nurturing collaborations
with artists that share the same convictions. Guillaume Michel’s choice of raw materials and concentration on limited editions or one of a kind pieces support the house’s eco-friendly approach to fashion. The pieces combine aesthetics with awareness of today’s environmental and social issues.
Iris Cantabri’s boudoir-like boutique is located in the heart of the Marais and in and of itself offers a journey into a world of unique decor and enticing colours providing the perfect setting for clothing of freedom and spontaneity that embodies a natural urban chic style. Inside the shop one discovers the clothing through iridescent trousers, wavy short dresses, with the fashions rendered in colourful fabrics including bold combinations like green and pink. There are endearing and appealing pieces in minimalistic white splashed with patterns or colour blocks in yellow, acid green or ultramarine blue in the style of the street artist Peeta. These elements are grafted onto technical materials that are finalised with ultrasounds and associated with natural fibres outfitted with trimmings. There are lively and elegant pieces in ice blue prints, slightly transparent hounds tooth, and fluid crepe or with 3D stitching and bold use of trimmings.

Dior the Divine The Musée des Arts Décoratifs, the museum devoted to the decorative arts, is celebrating the 70 years of creation at Christian Dior with a retrospective devoted to the house and Mr Dior as well as the designers who succeeded him, Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and most recently Maria Grazia Chiuri. A selection of over 300 couture dresses are on display along with studio canvases, fashion photographs, hundreds of documents and fashion accessories and objects like hats, jewellery, bags, shoes and perfume bottles. The last Parisian retrospective devoted to Christian Dior was held in the Musée des Arts Decorative in 1987 and revolved around the designer’s 10 years of creation from 1947 to 1957. The show opens with a look at the life of Christian Dior, notably his childhood in Granville, his discovery of art and shows in Paris, his studies, and his entrance into the world of haute couture.

The Wonder of Women The unique, sensual photographs of the German photographer Vincent Peters are on show at La Hune in an exhibition entitled Personal, and showcase his perception of women through some 20 portraits. The photographer’s gentle and frank approach to lighting confers an iconic uniqueness to the pictures, which are taken with a medium format analogue camera. For his second solo show, the photographer made a very personal selection of photographs most of which have never been published. The show juxtaposes pictures of celebrities like Charlize Theron and Monica Bellucci with young unknowns demonstrating his idealised and timeless vision of woman.

The glamorous world of haute couture as photographed by Mark Shaw for Life, Harper’s Bazaar and Mademoiselle is on show at the Galerie MR14. The show simply entitled Mark Shaw brings together rare pictures of Parisian couture in the 1950s and offers a behind the scenes look at houses like Dior, Balenciaga and Balmain, and among the 50 photographs on display is an image of Christian Dior at work during a fitting session. Mark Shaw is best known for his photographs of Jacqueline and John F. Kennedy but he was first and foremost a fashion and advertising photographer. He began working as a freelance photographer for Life in 1952 and in his 16 years with the magazine he shot 27 covers and more than 100 stories, which included the magazine’s annual review of the European fashion collections. The show brings together photographs, a film and an authentic reconstitution of a couture salon. From July 6 14 rue Portefoin (3rd), 06 14 56 50 85

A Contemporary Collective The works of some 40 contemporary, unrelated, artists have been brought together in a group show entitled Grand Trouble at the Halle Saint Pierre, the Parisian cultural venue for outsider art. The works in diverse styles and mediums ranging from drawings to paintings, sculpture, photographs, installations and videos are juxtaposed to dialogue with one another and talk about life, the world and our daily lives. The works in the exhibition explore the world with its violence, its fears, its paradoxes but also its mystery and beauty as interpreted by each artist. The show is accompanied by concerts, conferences and film projections.
Stunning Stars Within the context of its Hollywood cycle, the Galerie Joseph is hosting an exhibition entitled Daniel Angeli: 40 years of Scoops, devoted to the photographer whose pictures have graced the cover of Paris Match over 50 times.

The Château of Chantilly © Otte
L
ocated in one of the largest forests in the Paris region, the Domain of Chantilly is home to the private apartments of the Duke and Duchess of Aumale, the second largest collection of old paintings in France, after the Louvre, the largest horse stables in Europe and one of the most prestigious libraries in the world, which includes the celebrated Très Riches Heures du duc de Berry, regarded as the most important illuminated Gothic manuscript of the 15th century. Chantilly is the masterpiece of a man, Henri of Orléans, the Duke d’Aumale who left the estate to the French Academy. Collector, aristocrat, an officer in the French army, bibliophile and a man of taste, the prince was the fifth son of the French king, Louis Philippe. He would inherit the domain of Chantilly from his godfather Louis-Henri Bourbon, the prince of Condé. Among the 830 paintings conserved at Chantilly are about 100 Italian paintings including masterpieces by Filippino Lippi and Raphaël. The castle’s apartments are a reflection of the French decorative arts of the 17th to the 19th centuries and are located in the oldest part of the castle, known as the little castle that was built in the Renaissance by Jean Bullant for Anne de Montmorency, a Constable of France in the 16th century and who had the castle constructed. Among the most amusing rooms inside is the Grande Singerie decorated with whimsical, rich illustrations notably, monkeys, and by the windows in the Grande Singerie, humans are depicted serving monkeys. The décor reflects the 18th century taste for the exotic, fashionable during the Regency and at the beginning of the reign of Louis XV. The horse, too, is central to life at Chantilly, both in the past and today. The domain’s Horse Museum is filled with over two hundred objects recounting the importance of the horse to mankind from Antiquity to the present. Paintings, works of art, equestrian equipment and ample audio-visual displays take the visitor into the world of the horse with two rooms devoted to a fine ensemble of carousel horses. The domain also has a Living Horse museum, which presents equestrian shows and takes the visitor into the domain’s prestigious stables. One of the highlights of Chantilly is the domain’s superb gardens, with French gardens designed by André Le Nôtre who would design the gardens at Versailles, although those of Chantilly remained his favourites. They are filled with fountains and extensive water basins and house the Grand Canal, which at 2.5 metres long is 600 metres longer than the one at Versailles. There is also a bucolic English garden, a hamlet and a large market garden.

Bistro Fare For anyone who knows his generous hearty cooking, which is often inspired by the country kitchens of his native southwestern France, the popularity of chef Christian Etchebest’s excellent little chain of Paris restaurants is easy to understand. For those who don’t, the opening of his sixth Cantine du Troquet address in the 17th arrondissement offers the perfect opportunity to discover all of the delicious reasons these friendly, lively bistros are so popular with Parisians. The menu here is French comfort food at its best, including starters like grilled razor-shell clams, white asparagus from the Landes served with a garnish of tomatoes and capers, and marinated salmon with splashes of red-pepper sauce, pesto and fromage blanc. Next, choose from main courses like Pollack with a sauté of seasonal vegetables, lamb steaks with shallots and chives, or an excellent steak tartare. Most mains come with some of the best frites in Paris, too, since these hand-cut potatoes are fried in duck fat, which makes them savoury and especially crispy. Finish up with their famous rice pudding with caramel sauce, and don’t hesitate to drink the wines by the carafe, since they’re excellent value for the money. – Alexander Lobrano La Cantine du Troquet Pereire 46 rue Bayen (17th), 01 42 67 05 11

New at the Drugstore Even in a world where the Internet makes it possible to shop the globe and chat with friends thousands of miles away twenty-four/seven, the louche allure of Le Drugstore, a quintessential Paris institution, not only survives but also thrives. Why? This pulse-point address on the Champs-Elysées responds to your most urgent needs, both public and private. Need a new book in the middle of the night? Head here. Eager for a beautifully made cocktail after a movie? Cosy up to the bar on the edge of this lively welcoming dining room. And now Le Drugstore has become one of the best off-the-cuff dining destinations in Paris all over again with the arrival of chef Eric Fréchon, who holds three Michelin stars at the Le Bristol Hotel. For the menu, Fréchon cooked up a superb 21st century array of healthy comfort foods that also wink at Le Drugstore’s history. To wit, the iconic hamburger, once a bit exotic for Paris, is still on the menu, but so is another “burger” made with shrimp. Overall, the menu is divided between raw and cooked, with “raw” starters like red tuna tartare with avocado puree and mains like beef carpaccio with white radish and soy sauce, and “cooked” options, including roasted cauliflower with curry oil as a starter, and a 195-euro Kagoshima A5 Wagyu beef steak for two from Japan. The dessert not to miss is the sublime riff on a traditional cheesecake. Le Drugstore is open daily from 8am until 2am and serves breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. – A.L.

Truffles All Year Round Tucked away in a handsome old house on a side street in the heart of the Latin Quarter, La Truffière is a superb address that has long been a destination for the world’s most exigent gourmets. First of all, the setting of this intimate table has tremendous charm, since you may dine in an ancient vaulted stone cellar here. Then there’s the fact that this gracious restaurant has one of the best wine lists in Paris, an epic tome with a wonderful variety of bottles from lesser-known French wine regions at very reasonable prices. To get the best of this list, allow yourself to be guided by Eric Pelchat, the restaurant’s suave and very cordial director. As the name of the restaurant would indicate, dishes prepared with black truffles are a specialty of this table, but even when it’s not truffle season, chef Christophe Poard’s cooking is light, intriguingly inventive and unfailingly delicious. The menu evolves with the seasons, but starters like a macaron of duck foie gras with hazelnuts, black truffle and mango-pineapple chutney or King Crab with beets, avocado, grapefruit syrup and lemon caviar are an excellent way to begin a meal here. Next, try the turbot with black-truffle zabaglione or maybe the tender suckling lamb with a fascinating moka sauce, black olives, and pear puree with thyme. Fresh pasta or scrambled eggs with black truffles are always on the menu, too. Finish up with sweet potato cream with candied orange, honey ganache, and orange and grapefruit sorbet, and note that the seven-course prix-fixe menu “Arome” offers excellent value at 65 euros a person. – A.L.

Chefs Kino and Takubo have joined their culinary forces to bring Parisians and visitors to the French capital a real taste of Japanese cuisine. The recently opened Komatsubaki restaurant is a chic hole in the wall table where at the open-kitchen counter you are invited to watch the two chefs meticulously prepare the set menus. The Sushi Menu is a tasting extravaganza of sushi while the Kaïseki Menu serves an array of dishes that play with different textures, which sees fermented vegetables, sashimi and nimono, a dish that sees seafood or vegetables simmered in a shiru stock that is flavoured with sake and soy sauce, make up the culinary voyage menu, letting your taste buds be treated to a combination of sweet and sour dishes as well as different textures. Thanks to chef Takubo, who with his talent in creating refined vegetarian dishes, which earned him a Michelin star in 2014, the restaurant also offers the Shôjin Ryôri Menu, a vegan set-menu that spoils vegan guests with meat and seafood-free sushi, sashimi and yakimono, a Japanese specialty of grilled vegetables. The three menus are available, upon reservation, in the evenings only, and for lunch in the Japanese salon only, a private dining room designed in the tradition of dining in Japan. – S.I.

Bistronomy in Montmartre Montmartre is on every tourist’s list of places to see while visiting the French capital, however, as quaint as the neighbourhood is, it lacks variety when it comes to restaurants and that’s why Chamarré Montmartre is one of our favourite tables in the area. Unlike the many tourist traps found around Montmartre, Chamarré Montmartre is a popular restaurant with locals as French chef Antoine Heerah serves a refined cuisine, showcasing his talents that had earned him a Michelin star at his first restaurant back in 2002, without the exuberant price tags usually found on menus in this area. The menu changes quite frequently, with the chef working with seasonal and fresh produce, but a recent visit revealed contemporary French dishes including a carpaccio of scallops seasoned with lime zest and served with homemade blinis and tarama, and grilled lobster served on a bed of parmesan risotto. The chef also accommodates for vegetarians with at least 2 dishes always available on the menu, including a risotto Milanese seasoned with saffron and topped with a medley of colourful vegetables. With the weather warming up the best seat in the house is a table in the restaurant’s terrace, which overlooks Montmartre’s famous stairs. – S.I.

Island Dining Get a taste of Corsica without leaving the mainland at Villa Corse. Recently changing management and welcoming a new chef, Cyril Gauzit, the Villa Corse is a nice spot for lunch or dinner after sightseeing and taking in the magnificent Eiffel Tower. Start with a platter of Corsican charcuterie and a glass of rosé before indulging in a plate of cannelloni made with brocciu cheese. If you have room for dessert try the homemade ice-cream made with original flavours including olive oil and brocciu cheese. – S.I.

Alfresco Dining Set in an exquisitely manicured park of velvety green lawns, flower-filled gardens and ancient shade trees, Auberge des Templiers is one of the most legendary hotels in France. It was one of the original Relais & Chateaux hotels and was for many years the first stop of happy Parisians heading south for sunny holidays on the Route N7, often called “La Route du Soleil”. This delightful hotel is a brilliant address just out of Paris for the pleasure of its setting and also the cuisine of its talented chef, Japanese born Yoshihiko Miura. The best value here is the Signature Menu for 135 euros, which begins with hors d’oeuvres, and continues with dressed crab with avocado, yuzu and curry oil, followed by sea bass with Sologne caviar in a Marinière sauce, grilled lamb with bean sprouts and red onions, an excellent cheese trolley, and a dessert of your choosing. And during the summer months they have a day-day-tariff for anyone who wants to come idle in the garden, paddle around in the pool and lunch on the superb Japanese food served by their summer poolside pop-up restaurant from 11am to 6pm daily. – A.L.

Popelini 29 rue Debelleyme (3rd), 01 44 61 31 44

By Patricia Valicenti
eal estate ads in Paris will often mention an apartment in a Haussmann building, a reference to the blocks of neo-classical apartment buildings found throughout the city and which are a legacy of Napoleon III and his prefect turned urban planner Georges Eugène Haussmann who together would transform the face of the city in the middle of the 19th century. For Paris was once an entire city of narrow, twisting streets and alleyways handed down through the generations from the medieval era. But that would change when Haussmann, one of the first great urban planners, would give the city its present day look and feel of wide boulevards, greenery-filled parks, block long apartment buildings and of utmost importance, sewers. Napoleon III was keen on turning Paris into a modern city and began developing an urban planning project and he set about it with enthusiasm and with Haussmann, the prefect of the Seine, supervising the works, which touched every neighbourhood in Paris. It was Haussmann that came up with the idea of dividing the city into arrondissements with the division into 20 districts taking place in 1860.
The widening of the roads enabled the Haussmann builders to add an extra story of height to the buildings on the larger roads. Haussmann buildings are outfitted with simple decoration and entrenched in the classical style admired by both Napoleon III and Haussmann resulting in the neoclassical facades that mark so many of the buildings typical of Paris. Each block of residential buildings forms a unified whole and typically they are five stories high including the ground floor and with an additional floor of attic rooms, originally intended for domestic help. The second floor, known as the noble floor, typically has a wrought iron balcony surrounded by ornate stonework while the fifth floor often has a balcony, albeit a simple one. Large rooms, parquet floors, floor length windows and marble fireplaces are typical features of the interiors. The Palais Garnier, the Paris opera house, is one of the great public works to have emerged from this period. w w w.wh e re t r ave l e r. com 107

If one of our readers is only in Paris for 24 hours what one thing would you recommend they do? Visit Paris with a private guide by car or shared minibus. It is a fantastic way to see and understand what Paris has to offer, and at the end of your trip, you can choose where to be dropped off. Choose the Tuileries Garden for museums (Louvre, Arts Décoratifs, Orsay, Orangerie, Petit Palais), the corner of Rue Royale and Saint-Honoré for high-end shopping, or on Place du Tertre in the village of Montmartre for a casual walk and stunning views of Paris. Then finish your day with a glass of champagne in our bar, Le 10 Bar.
Paris is well-known for its magnificent monuments, from where would you suggest our readers get the best view of the city? Bateaux Mouches’s upper deck is definitely the best spot to admire many monuments and official buildings while sailing on the river.
For our readers who are looking for a traditional Parisian bistro serving authentic French fare, where would you book them a table? I could easily choose the bistro Paul Bert for the quality of the meals, served in generous portions, and the Parisian busy atmosphere. For a more refined evening, Drouant would be my other choice. 114 W HER E PA R I S I J U LY 2017
As the fashion capital, which areas do you think showcase the best fashions? Rue Saint-Honoré is a must in designer boutiques, but one should also try Le Marais district for the new up-and-coming designers. For a couple in love where would you recommend they go for a romantic dinner? Lapérouse restaurant is ideal for a special evening to remember for a long time.
shops, I discovered the new shopping mall Forum des Halles. We call this recently built roof the Canopée. It is an amazing piece of today’s architecture. What is a location in Paris that pleasantly surprised you? The Petit Palais, next to the ChampsElysées, is a good-sized museum nestled in its centre a cute, hidden, secluded garden. The surrounding architecture makes it unique.
