I use to go to Paris to work, meeting clients... I rarelly visit it as a toursit, so yeasterday, we did that with my wife an daughter... It was very hot, and we use subway to go to one place to an other as we plan to a lot of things to do... And it was great... You can found on the map above the adresses, the subway station and the line number.

We start at Serendipity (Vanneau station - line 10), a shop dedicated to children rooms... The furnitures, the fabrics, the pupets, everything is unique and you want to buy them all... I finaly get 2 amazing books about home decoration that I will probably review later here...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I won't talk about the restaurants because there as so much you can stop on the road... But I love the "Quai de Valmy" (Goncourt station, line 11) the nice place where Amelie Poulain ricochet in the movie ;) You can found there Artazart the most amazing book store for designers and photographers... they now have lomography camera and so much other stuffs...

 

 

 

 

At few streets from there, there is the most amazing gluten free place of all Paris ! As my wife and daughter are gluten free, we taste almost all the cakes ! Helmut newcake staff are so nice, and they also have great products such as these clipper teas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The place I was the most impatient to visit was the famous Merci concept store (St Sebastien Froissart station, line 8)... and I was not desepointed... we spend almost an hour in the shop and the great "cantine"...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And to end up this great day, we go the "Halles" (line 10) to take some stuff at MUJI... Just outside, there is the nice Lov Organic tea shop with these nice packaging...

 

 

 

 

A lot of designer show too much pictures of the same thing, I guess Kyle Poff does not show enough... I found him following his JP WELDING project, and I would like to see more of it...

We leave "La pensée Sauvage" this morning to visit familly near Paris... Great to move all the time, the bad thing is the carry everything...

Foundry collective present their new work and new web site last week, and it was published on a lot of blogs... I already publish their projects last year, and I do not understand why these projects disappeared from the new site... But this is the good thing with graphic exchange, you still can see them here.
