I am back home after a week in Paris, and I want to share with you my favorits shops and places in the 10th arrondissement, my favorit distric of the city. It is full of creative shops and concept stores in each street, passionate people that just want to create their life ! Just as the cowrkshop I share about some days ago... WARNING : it is summer time in Paris, which means Parisians are living the city, this is good, but also that a lot of shops are closed...
Blackburn coffee shop
There is a lot of creative coffee shops in Paris, and I was happy to find this one. Amazing cappuccino.
And if you like coffee, also check this page.
Artazart book shop
Some people want to see the Eiffel tour everytime they come to Paris, me I need to visit the Artazart book store. They alsways have nice pop up store events and all the latest design and photo book you want to discover... Important to know it is open everyday, except... on christmas day and new year day !

Walrus
There is a lot of small records shops all around the city, but it is rare to see one opening and with a real concept behind. Walrus is an amazing large shop full of recent vinyl album (don't look for a vintage Beatles record here), where you can take a good coffee or a beer to talk about other passionate about music !

Since I have worked in Hubud coworking space while living in Bali last year, I know coworking concept is perfect for me. So when I walk in front on this new and amazing space in Paris, I have to share it. Haven't work there yet, but now I know where I can spend some hours next time.

I am in Paris for some days to shoot and try all the gluten free places we can for a coming article in the 3td issue of Niépi magazine. I have to test a lot of exellent gluten free food, visit very nice places and met even nicer people... hard ! You can follow me on instagram as I shoot a lot, and even on the instagram of niepi as I shoot for it too (my iphone in my left pocket, my wife one in the right pocket... people think I am crazy... oh, yes, I am !)... I plan to visit some design places too, but haven't even fount the time to present you nice shops for my last Paris stay 2 months ago... As I read today "if I only I have as much time as I have ideas..."
Perfect exemple, I never share on this blog the book I design for Elodie Rambaud last year. She asked me if I want to design the 288 pages of her favorit and unusual adresses of Paris ! It is very well printed and distributed by Marabout, and is full of amazing secret places... hope they will do an englih version soon.

What about visiting a Type foundry in 1902 ? Amazing pictures found pn this, even more amazing blog Spital fields life.
William Caslon set up his type foundry in Chiswell St in 1737, where it operated without any significant change in the methods of production until 1937. These historic photographs taken in 1902, upon the occasion of the opening of the new Caslon factory in Hackney Wick, record both the final decades of the unchanged work of traditional type-founding, as well as the mechanisation of the process that would eventually lead to the industry being swept away by the end of the century.
You can spend hours on this blog, just look at these theatre posters...
