Arles is one of my favorit French city. There is an Antique theatre there, built 11 000 years ago (I saw Radiohead live there...). And during the summer, there is a special photography festival with exhibitions everywhere... Very inspiring...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since 2004, Michel Bouvet create the poster for the festival. They are based on an animal with all the products coming with it...

 

 

 

  

Arles was the hometown of Vincent Van Gogh, so memories are everywere... There is really a "visual culture" in this city... from shops old signages to posters...

 

 

 

 

 

The "Rencontes d'Arles" just start and will end on september 23. For infos check www.rencontres-arles.com

In Bali for already 2 weeks... So much creative here... In fact, if you check Bali culture history, peoples are creative becuase it makes the goods happy... Everybody seems to be able to do something with his hands here... And I am founding very creative peoples that really inspire sme for new products... Hope I have the time to do all I want to explore... Here come some images to let you imagine how it is here... I am working on Mr-Cup creative tools, as it is easy here... Cards, hang tags...

 

 

This was my home/office during some days... but we had to change ! As you can see, it as a nice view on the fields but no wall... It is hot enough here to have no walls, but it is also open to all bugs, spiders and snakes ! We see very big spiders, my daughter was so scared... but local people explain they are not dangerous, we just need to be aware of green snakes ;)

 

 

We are having great time in Bali, it is simply amazing... but I want to show you the amazing hotel we went to while we werre in Bangkok. I was seduce by the web site and the look of this small, charming, vintage, kids friendly, “green” hotels that offer unique decor. It is a small hotel situated within the old Bangkok district, totally unique... with an amazing café on the roof with view on the city and organic garden in bathtubs !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When we werre in Bangkok last week, Nico & Landry bring us to some other amazing places... flea markets... but not as we use to have them... First was more a shop of antiques, in an old train warehouse... Put half of the stuff here in Paris and you sell them in a day !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Landry was there to buy this amazing camera (he does some tests with it and it works perfectly)

 

 

After that, we took a cab to go outside the city, in another flea market... so much things to see with 40°...
