CONCEPT STOREColette

The store is also especially popular for its excellent selection of cosmetics with exclusive well-loved brands, and the very la-test in fashion and jewellery.

FASHION SHOPPING ADDRESS Abou d’AbiThe first Abou d’Abi Bazar multi-brand store was opened among the fabric seconds shops and wholesalers of the Marais. Selling in vogue brands such as Vanessa Bruno, Isabel Marant, Sandro and Iro, the retailer proved a big hit, with another store eventually opening not far from here. The new Abou d’Abi Bazar was set up in a former art gallery and is again enjoying great success. With its four Parisian shops, the concept store offers a selection that’s always highly individual, and its buyers are constantly tracking down new exclusive labels. It’s not by chance that this brand bazar has established itself as an essential address for Parisian fashionistas!125 rue vieille du temple - 75003 paris - 01 42 71 13 26 - www.aboudabibazar.com

Famous for their lingerie, the two sisters were also the trail-blazers of the fashion for innerwear as outerwear. Les Folies d’Elodie also sells ready-to-wear clothing and accessories for dogs!

BARPark Hyatt Paris - VendômeYou can easily picture yourself in a scene from one of Sofia Coppola’s movies here. It’s glamourissimo and a far cry from the other luxury hotels in this part of Paris. This particular Hyatt cultivates a contemporary appeal and its ”anti-Chesterfield armchair” philosophy is deeply embedded in the Parisian mind of what a hotel bar should be. To kick off a dream evening, why not settle down near the ultra-modern fireplace, unless you prefer the gracious square courtyard for inveterate smokers (and a hotspot for incognito stars), while sipping a stupendous cocktail that only a few luxury hotels get right.The genius big shot behind these magical nectars at the bar is Yann Daniel, a mixing god and creator of the now mythical Park Hyatt Flower, a cocktail made with champagne, lychees and rose. The haute couture tapas are a perfect match for long drinks: mini-burgers, eggs with foie gras and other delicate finger foods.Bar: 2pm to 2am - Fireplace room: 6.30pm to 2amTapas: from €9 to €25 - Cocktail Park Hyatt Flower: €25 5, rue de la Paix - 75002 Paris - 01 58 71 12 34 - www.paris.vendome.hyatt.com

ARTY ADDRESSYves Saint Laurent : «La Révolution de la mode»In the middle of the 1960s, while the great fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent pursued his artistic career in haute couture, he was also tapping into the emergence of a new world. It was at this point that he decided to launch what would become known as ”ready-to-wear”: more affordable collections, intended not for ”blasé multimillionaires”, but for bold and attractive working women. The opening of his store on 26 September 1966 at 21, rue de Tournon would be the dazzling manifesto for this new movement. No matter that the street saw little passing traffic, from the very next day society’s elite were already clamouring at the doors.”The Fashion Revolution” exhibition takes you into the world of this luxury boutique designed by the talented Isabelle Hebey. Discover the Djinn purple bench that our grandmothers sat on, the lamps by the American-Japanese artist Isamu Noguchi, the red panelling, and the very first ready-to-wear collections by the great man who is still filling certain family trunks. An exhibition so realistic that you want to push aside the hangers for a better view, and which is bound to move you!

CONCEPT STORE MerciSlotted between a garden and a courtyard, in a former furniture fabrics warehouse in the Haute Marais district, the Merci concept store is redefining what a 21st century shop should be: relevant and generous!As soon as you walk in, a kind of alchemy takes place between the cleverly worked space of the building’s industrial past and the excellence of the fashion and decorative products on show. The ”arty” feel reinforces the wide-ranging product offer exquisitely arranged over 1500m2 with a mix that includes contemporary design and antique objects, vintage and designer clothing, hardware, haberdashery, flowers, a bookshop, café and restaurant. Visionary and committed, the capital’s very first charity shop donates a proportion of its profits to an assistance fund for children’s charities. A commendable initiative that’s worth travelling to see and which already has the backing of fashion designers, intellectuals and celebrities. The cherry on the cake is the attractive restaurant on the lower ground floor with a garden view. On the menu are ultra-fresh and healthy dishes: fennel-courgette carpaccio with pink peppercorns, quinoa with lemongrass, quiche of the day and some fantastic desserts (walnut and hazelnut cake, red fruit crumble). Allow €15.111, boulevard Beaumarchais - 75003 Paris - 01 42 77 00 33

Trendy ParisLUNCH ADDRESSPassage 53It’s THE food buzz of the moment! This highly unusual bistro, nestled in an old Parisian covered passage, has just won its second Michelin star. The promise? A venue that is both unpretentious and at the same time beautifully designed, oozing charm with its Art Deco tiling and impeccable, relaxed service. Its greatest asset? A highly gastronomic and very Parisian eatery where you can laugh out loud or show up in jeans to enjoy a delightful meal without airs and graces. Super light! Even the most diet-conscious will love it here. Like a gourmet fashion show, designer plates follow one after the other like pieces in a collection: graphically beautiful, colourful, glowingly fresh, all in a light and ultra-refined style. Top chef... The Japanese chef Sako works only with the very best in meats (Hugo Desnoyers, the rock-star of butchers) and applies true genius to vegetables. The result? A little dish that resembles a Japanese garden.On the table... Like a gourmet gift, the menu is a surprise! In other words, each dish is a little gift waiting to be discovered. And each haute couture plate reveals a beautifully pre-sented model. The must-tries. Under a finely-cut piece of Japanese daikon, a fresh and sensual scallop. An ode to the Jerusalem artichoke: mashed with a hint of sweetness and topped with an artichoke and truffle biscuit. Sublime! Oysters under a fluffy apple mousse and haddock foam with beluga caviar.And the desserts... They arrive all at once, like a deluxe gourmet café. On the programme? A chocolate tart with salted butter caramel biscuit, a mini tarte tatin, a little pot of milk chocolate, passion fruit and puffed rice, for that luxury crunch. We also like! Its top-class wines by the glass such as Gevrey Chambertin (€18 per glass).The prices? €55 for a 5-course lunch menu. €95 for the lunch and evening tasting menus (ten courses and five desserts) Reservation recommended. Closed Sundays and Mondays.53, passage des Panoramas - 75002 Paris - 01 42 33 04 35 - www.passage53.com

BEAUTY TREATMENT ADDRESSBlow dry bar: HypeandHairyWhile New Yorkers and Londoners have fully embraced the blow dry bar, French women have been less well catered for until now. Good news! The concept has recently established itself in the capital. Offering drop-in blow drying and express hairdos, at HypeandHairy the sound of styling brushes and the hubbub of hairdryers make a fine chorus.Before a business lunch or romantic dinner, overloaded working girls and Parisian women in a hurry can easily accommodate a 20-minute blow dry, with no need for an appointment and rock-bottom prices. Let’s hope that this blow dry bar is the first of many!The added bonus: HypeandHairy also offers beauty treatments, waxing, manicures and pedicures, as well as modelling... express and customized beauty packages to bring out your best in 30 minutes. You’ll soon be totally addicted!3, rue Taitbout 75009 Paris - 09 51 84 28 08 - www.hypeandhairy.com

GOURMET BREAKHorror picture teaThe latest hip address? An unusual little tearoom that’s totally rock‘n’roll and off-the-wall, where grannies and their trashy teens are bound to have a good time around a cup of Kusmi tea and a brightly-coloured, divine pop pastry.The ELEGANGZ Collective and the young, talented and tattoo-covered pastry chef, Guillaume Sanchez (formerly of Delmontel, Ladurée), are now squatting this bistro in the 1st arrondissement, establishing a real Parisian institution.Gourmet treats...

From these encounters and experiences, she has produced a vibrant environment combining her two passions, fashion and decorating.Firstly her fashion items, both ethnic and rock-inspired: collections of jackets, morning coats and blouses that incorporate all the modes of current fashion while mixed with artisan know-how from a country she is particularly fond of, India.Her decorative wares are totally in keeping with her clothing and can be adapted to your needs. She invents, creates and tracks down each individual piece. Designed like an apartment, this boutique offers a rich vein of inspiration and special finds. A caravan of style that is constantly moving, it changes according to the whims and inspirations of the lady of the house. We liked: the Fil de la Vie bracelets (€249) to offer loved ones, multi-coloured origami by Didier Huffschmitt (€120) and Khadi beach dresses (€130).Push open the door of this apartment where everything is for sale!38, rue Fabert - 75007 Paris - 09 53 15 95 77

BARRosa bonheur What a beautiful day! Everyone’s off to the Rosa Bonheur to see the new decor in the bar! This ultra-trendy open-air café located in the Buttes Chaumont district of Paris is a hugely popular place for spending an evening under the stars, right in the middle of this huge park. Result? The perfect place! No-one will be refused entry (no doorman) and there’s always room, even for a crowd of 30.We love... the evening picnic nibbles that are so much more than just grub, thrilling the clientele in the form of great charcuterie and delicious dishes at mini prices. An easy solution for getting all your friends together, even if they’re totally broke! Serrano ham, chorizo, tabouleh, sea urchin taramasalata, salt cod and mashed potatoes, organic fruit cake to name but a few. We also like... drinking and dancing till midnight.

Here you can play table football, smoke in a cupboard or eat on a bed! You can’t get much cooler and quirky than that.The scene of the crime? The ultra-cool dining room designed as a house interior with kitchen, living room and so on. The must-have experience when you’re out with a group of ten friends? Reserve the bedroom on the first floor and eat on the beds. Super trendy!We looove... The possibility of a ping-pong knockabout in the dining room between cheese and dessert.The must-try? Drink your aperitif and smoke in the smoker’s corner hidden on the first floor behind a secret door. Designed as an attic-cum-cabinet of curiosities, the boys love to have a natter around the XL football table!Top! The roast chicken and casserole dishes for sharing. Delicious cooking at reasona-ble prices (€30). Even open Sundays!Reservations recommended, it’s THE address of the summer!69, rue des Gravilliers - 75003 Paris - 01 44 61 91 95 - 20h à 23h30 - Closed monday

CONCEPT STOREL’éclaireurYou go there... more to ”visit fashion” than for an exorbitantly expensive shopping trip.For the record: this boutique is the latest jewel of the Hadida clan, the couture family that invented the ”luxury concept store”, the preferred showcase of the Lagerfelds, Marc Jacobs and other celebrity stylists. Their new shop window is highly impressive with an overtly sculptural feel.Boutique as work of art. Created by the designer Arne Quinze, the store has been styled as an experience with video projections, interactive installations and organic sculpture... See it to talk about it!40, rue Sévigné - 75003 Paris - 01 48 87 10 22 - www.leclaireur.com

LUNCH ADDRESSNanashiThose in the know call it ”31 paradis”... The new bohemian staging of Lionel Bensemoun, an associate of André’s? A highly eastern version of his Baron nightclub, this little cafe is totally at ease with itself. It certainly serves the perfect drinks for passing party goers (Kitsuné, La Clique, the Fooding team): formica tables à la 1970s, a take-away corner

reminiscent of egg-buying at the market, and a large bar manned by busy, attractive bearded guys looking like country shepherds.Happy hour? Easy-going socializing: a one-litre mojito jug to share (€45) and de rigueur tapas: foie gras spring rolls (€2), beef fillet mini-sandwich (€5) or warm risotto (€8).We also like: their lunchtime bento box menu.31, rue du Paradis - 75010 Paris - 01 40 22 05 55

our ParisLINGERIE SWIMWEAR ADDRESSYOBA The first ”naughty” shop with a luxury tag, Yoba, the four-star sex-shop opened a few years ago in this smart area of Paris. In the pretty show room with a boudoir feel, the idea is to shop for products that are sexy and amusing but ne-ver vulgar. You’re more likely to see elegant shoppers from the local area than young Lolitas... Even the most prudish are unlikely to be shocked. On the agenda: ravishing lingerie, chic and fun accessories (embroidered masks, fur whips) and other sex-toys. The ”Yoba demonstrator” can make a free home visit to one of the girls in the gang… and explain the joys and pleasures of the products.11, rue du Marché Saint Honoré - 75001 Paris - 01 40 41 04 06 - www.yobaparis.com

our Parisconcept store that has just opened in Montmartre. The owner, David, has invented the exclusive idea of ”rock n’ roll gardens” for his shop.Impossible to resist... their ”gardens-to-go”, designed as Japanese bento boxes, planted with natural and folksy greenery. Each ”miniature garden” bears the name of a rock group. Much more chic and way posher than giving a bunch of flowers!We loove... the reasonable prices: from €30 to €50 for each mini-garden.25, rue Custine - 75018 Paris - 01 55 79 71 35 - www.lesmauvaisesgraines.com

BARSchmuck

The terrific cocktails. The must-try? The mandarin pool!The added bonus? A super-people place, but without swank. A very ”fashion girl” cast at the bar but not a parade of 14-year-old Ukrainian models.43, rue de Ponthieu - 75008 Paris

DINNER ADDRESS 39V It’s the latest place for flirting! An ideal hotspot to surprise your lover and really impress him! The address? A hidden door in a Haussmann building, right on avenue Georges V.

Its ”secret venue for those in the know” attracts the couture elite in this fashion-focused district.Food-wise? Light and gastronomic designer cuisine by chef Frédéric Vardon, formerly of Ducasse. While the men may prefer fillet of beef Rossini, the girls can’t resist the raw scallops, crab salad and diced vegetables, or the vegetable casserole. The wild dessert? A Mont-Blanc chestnut cream desert that won’t wait!Please note! The restaurant is closed on Saturdays39, avenue George V - 75008 Paris 01 56 62 39 05 - www.le39v.com
