The royal squares in Paris are an open-air testimony to France's incredible historical heritage.

Parigi, lo sanno tutti, va girata a piedi. Non c'è niente di meglio che girovagare per la città, senza curarsi troppo di avere una meta precisa. Si può decidere di andare a dare un'occhiata alla Défense, il più moderno dei quartieri cittadini, oppure di visitare i vecchi quartieri, come Saint- Germain-des-Prés nel 6° arrondissement….

You've certainly seen them, walking along the Seine in Paris. The line of small shops clinging to the stone parapet of the river only stops when there is a bridge and then a passage. Then it starts again, as if nothing happened, until the next bridge. On the right bank you find the bouquinistes from Pont Marie to the Louvre. On the left bank, from Quai de la Tournelle to Quai Voltaire. In total there are about 900 of them! But who are they, what are they selling, how long have they existed?

Hotel Majestic: a must in Cannes, in front of the Palais des festivals. A mythical and historical place. We live here with the Cannes Film Festival because many film stars are residing or will reside here again this year from May 14 to 25. Because the hotel inherited the cinema. I have placed my suitcases under the sumptuous decor of the lobby of Hotel Le Majestic to discover the palace 3 days before the beginning of the Festival. Shall we go?

Froufrou è anzitutto un luogo dove si vive, dove ci si ritrova fra soli iniziati, persone esperte in una innegabile “art de vivre” parigina: Froufrou si ispira alla leggerezza e spensieratezza della Vecchia Parigi, dove regnava l’allegria, la condivisione e la varietà. È un luogo unico e fuori dal tempo, un luogo di appuntamenti, di lasciarsi andare. Qui si mangia, qui si discute, qui si fa festa, e qui ogni giorno si possono avvicinare gli artisti del teatro, fino a notte fonda.

Rispondo alla mia amica Germana che mi rimprovera di non avere organizzato, durante il suo ultimo soggiorno a Parigi, nemmeno una serata in uno dei grandi ristoranti della capitale. “Tanto di cappello alla grande cucina francese - dice Germana - ma mi avevi promesso una visita ad almeno uno dei monumenti della ristorazione parigina!” Hai ragione: non ho mantenuto la promessa e me ne dispiace. Posso tentare di rimediare raccontandoti la storia di uno dei più celebri ristoranti di Parigi: Le Train Bleu. 

Quando il giovane architetto Charles Garnier presentò a corte il progetto per un nuovo teatro dell'opera a Parigi, l'imperatrice Eugenia de Montijo esclamò sorpresa: “Che cos'è? Che stile è questo?

Jeffrey Leatham and the Four Seasons George V and its flowers have been bound together. Their story cannot be separated, even though Jeffrey Leatham is now artistic director for the George V. Working with roughly 15,000 flowers every week, Jeff and his team of assistants transform the hotel from season to season, palette to palette. Such imagination. Submerged purple orchids. Angled long stemmed roses. Hydrangeas preening for the guests. Every kind of flower in every imaginable design. At night, literally hundreds of candles are magically lit and scattered among vases throughout the hotel. 

 This special one-night-only performance showcases Pascal Greggory — muse, collaborator, and partner to the great French director Patrice Chéreau — as he guides the audience through the personal writings and boundless creativity of one of the world’s great theatrical minds.

Less than forty years old, but already an icon! Opened in 1977, the Centre Pompidou, often referred to as Beaubourg by Parisians, has become one of the liveliest and most visited attractions in the city. It’s a museum of course, but also a library, a place full of life, and with its multicoloured exterior designed by Renzo Piano, a unique monument in the heart of Paris. Six floors, unusual architecture and a view of the whole of Paris, which visitors love.

Everyone has their own way of being romantic! While some might just enjoy sitting together on the terrace of the Café de Flore, others might prefer to stroll hand in hand through the maze of streets in the Latin Quarter or have their portrait drawn at Montmartre…

October 21 at 8 p.m., the place to be in Paris is the Opéra Garnier! I’m there with my fiancée Caroline to see Rain, the work by Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker, a major figure on the international choreographic scene. Sitting in the 15th row of the orchestra, Caroline is ultra elegant in her dress designed by Lagerfield for Chanel. All Paris is here. It’s just not possible to miss an opening night at the Opera, especially as it’s so difficult to be one of the happy few to receive an invitation. And, the evening will end with a platter of Oléron oysters at the Bar à Huîtres Garnier.
