Who goes under the table? No, it’s not some new Parisian parlor game, but the celebration of Epiphany. Like every year, all of France is getting ready to “draw kings” in a few days’ time with the famous galette des rois (King Cake). The yearly tradition starts on January 6th and runs for several days. All French kids dream of the same thing; getting that one piece of cake that hides the magic trinket that will earn them the right to be crowned king.
Parisian women are slim and health-conscious, but they're also gourmets who enjoy the pleasures of the table, provided they consume them in moderation.

Fashion designer Christian Louboutin has developed an international following for his distinctive red-soled footwear. But he happened on his life's passion by accident: all it took was a trip to a museum where he saw a sign indicating that high heel shoes were not permitted there. “I was totally fascinated by that sign. I'd never seen shoes like that”…
Le Train Bleu is one of those mythical addresses that only Paris can boast. A Belle Epoque setting that has remained intact in all its magnificence.

Are you in the hunt for a chic and effortless Parisian looking? The hairstyle is fundamental and for the last two years the fringe cut have been everywhere. But as always the Parisian woman even with fringe has a style all her own. Let's try to decipher together... First rule: while bangs can be worn on most hairstyles, they don't necessarily fit everyone and can't necessarily correspond to all hair types, so you'll have to be critical in front of the mirror and make a few adjustments to its shape or length for a true Parisian look. If you've always hesitated to adopt it in 2019, this year it's almost unavoidable in Paris provided you choose the right fringe.
The cooking of meat depends on the result we want to achieve.

Created by two Parisians, Hipanema is known above all for its Brazilian bracelets; in a few years, the brand has become indispensable in the world of fashion and accessories.
The Hipanema brand was born from the meeting of two Parisian girls in Rio, Delphine Crech'riou and Jenny Collinet.
