GOGOPARIS/TECHNIKART – JUNE 2007

JUNE 2007

</p>

I LOVE THE VIRGIN MEGASTORE ON THE CHAMPS ELYSEES. IT'S IN A BEAUX ARTS BUILDING WITH A GRAND STAIRCASE THAT GIVES THE WHOLE CONSUMER ORGY SOME DIGNITY AND DRAMA. 

I LIKE TO GO SEE MOVIES AT LA PAGODE IN THE 7TH ARRONDISSEMENT. IT USED TO BE A PRIVATE TEAHOUSE WITH EMBROIDERED PANELING INSIDE THE THEATRE THAT WAS PROTECTED BY CHAIN LINK DURING RECENT REFURBISHING. LOVED IT LIKE THAT. 

BEHIND THE MUSEE DES ARTS DECORATIFS, THERE'S A RESTAURANT THAT JOINS THE JARDIN DES TUILERIES (LE SAUT DU LOUP). IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO THE BUSHES THAT HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN THE GAY CRUISE CORNER OF THE JARDIN. VERY HANDY. 

I LOVE EVERY LADUREE. I THINK THERE'S THREE OF THEM. BESIDES PERFECT VANILLA MACARONS IN BEAUTIFUL BOXES, YOU CAN GET THEIR CANDLES IN SCENTS LIKE BRIOCHE THAT ARE AMAZINGLY ACCURATE. 

BEST GALLERIES FOR FURNITURE ARE JOUSSE FOR 20TH CENTURY LIKE PROUVE, PERRIAND, ETC., AND ERIC DE SOMETHING FOR A BEAUTIFULLY EDITED SELECTION OF VINTAGE SWEDISH AND FRENCH STUFF. 

THE NEW CURATOR AT PALAIS DE TOKYO SEEMS FRESH. MY FAVORITE BUILDING IN PARIS.
