Le Comptoir General, Paris. By Meghan Sebold For any travel enthusiast, the best venue to visit is often one that requires processing time to absorb the scene—a place that makes you wonder, "What on earth is going on here?
" Le Comptoir General (LCG) in Paris’s 10th Arrondissement pushes all concepts of what can be done in a space that is categorized as a bar/restaurant. While walking along the Canal Saint-Martin, it's easy to miss the tiny sign encircled by a hand-painted arrow pointing down a driveway. Keep going though, and you'll find a banner that reads “The Little Museum of Francafrique,” drawing you into a long hallway filled with grand chandeliers and photos covering walls of faded primary colors. FIAC : la 41e édition commence jeudi, Art avec Modzik. Frank Gehry’s ‘cloud of glass’ unveiled in Paris. When architect Frank Gehry unveiled his plans for a museum shaped like a massive glass cloud in the heart of Paris it looked little more than a few squiggles on a piece of paper.
Even Gehry, whose celebrated works are often cited as among the most important in contemporary architecture, had difficulty finding words to describe what he hoped to create. “It’s a cloud of glass - magical, ephemeral, all transparent … it’s not stodgy,” he told the Guardian back in 2006. On Friday, Gehry’s glass cloud – which has also been nicknamed The Iceberg, but is officially the Louis Vuitton Foundation – was unveiled.
As promised, the massive glass, metal and wood structure – commissioned by Bernard Arnault, president of the French luxury goods group LVMH and France’s wealthiest man – appeared to float ethereally over one of France’s oldest parks, the Jardin d’Acclimatation. “This project is a dream, so the first idea was to create a dream. “This museum is a symbol of the artistic vitality of Paris.

How Hipsters Ruined Paris. Photo PARIS — THE northern edge of Paris’s Ninth Arrondissement, near the Place Pigalle, was once known as “la Nouvelle-Athènes,” both for the neo-Classical flourishes of its most graceful blocks and for the creative geniuses who swept in to inhabit them. This was the original “gay Paree” on display in Edouard Manet’s “Bar at the Folies-Bergère,” a Bohemia of near-mythical proportions in which every tier of society — from the well heeled to the creative to the horizontally employed — collided in the district’s cafes, theaters and cabarets.
It was the Paris of Alexandre Dumas, Victor Hugo, Gustave Moreau and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Paris has long been a palimpsest of different cities, each new iteration grafted on top of the still visible last, spanning the extremes of human excellence and beauty and, just as crucially, filth and squalor.

Between the changing time zones, the frenetic pace and the dizzying haute talons you’ve been flaunting from show to show, city to city, Paris fashion week might already feel a little surreal. Go with it. The city’s awash in exhibitions that bend the boundaries of normalcy. After immersing yourself in the mesmerizing films of the fashion photographer Guy Bourdin at Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche, pay homage to some of his masters. The Pompidou Center (Place Georges Pompidou) just opened “The Subversion of Images: Surrealism, Photography, Film,” a collection of almost 400 works by the photographers Man Ray, Hans Bellmer and Claude Cahun alongside artists like Paul Eluard, André Breton and Antonin Artaud.

The nouvelle vague (Bigarade) vs. the institution (Le Baratin), the former before the new year and the latter last weekend. Both visits were highly anticipated, given the laudatory reviews I’ve come across for both in recent months. I cut to the chase. Bigarrade was a reasonable alternative to my first choice, last season’s absolute must(!) Parisian restaurant, Spring. You’ve probably already read about Spring in The New York Times, but less likely you’ve eaten there, unless you know somebody who knows someone who can swing a reservation for you.
Like it’s minimalistic cousin, Bigarrade works on the Spring-like concept of fixed menus – 35€ or 45€ and that, mon ami, is all they tell you when you order. This was followed by the actual amuse bouche, a carrot mousse with vinagrette. Christophe PELE opened Bigarrade in 2007 and he pairs up with Giuliano SPERENZI as the dueling chefs.

I thought the name, Le Cercle Rouge was an homage to Les Enfants-Rouges but no, it's one to the Alain Delon film. And it is a happening place in a weird location, packed to the gills - wait a minute! , packed to the gills but never reviewed - where the heck are the big boys?
