here are the whimsically coloured
balloon dogs, Michael Jackson
with Bubbles adorned in gold,
the mercurial and ever fascinating
lobster, the balls in the fish tank
and ever so much more from the contemporary
artist Jeff Koons in the first ever European
retrospective devoted to the American artist
being held at the Centre Pompidou.
The show offers the visitor a full perspective on
a body of work that has for the past 35 years left
its mark on the artistic and cultural landscape.
Pioneering for some, controversial or kitsch for
others, the vast panorama of the works of Jeff
Koons on display enables the viewer to decide
on his or her own during an eye-catching and
very fun journey.
Conceived in collaboration with the Whitney
Museum of American Art, the show at the
12 W H E R E PA R I S I J A N UA R Y 2015
Pompidou Centre enables the visitor to observe
in a fashion that is devoid of all prejudices the
work of an artist among the most celebrated
and controversial of our time. An artist that
Bernard Blistène, the director of France’s National
Museum of Modern Art and commissioner of the
Parisian exhibition, considers to be the “last of
the pop artists.”
The show brings together some 100 sculptures
and paintings representative of the artistic path
of Jeff Koons with the works underscoring the
coherence of his work and creative strength.
They are all there, the works that emerged
from the creative prowess of the artist, works
that have become icons in their own time, an
aquarium from the 1985 Equilibrium series, the
Rabbit of 1986 and the ever so fun Balloon Dog
1994-2000, all of which have enjoyed immense
popular appeal.

The daring and rather pretty works that make
up the Inflatables (1979) series, which Koons
exhibited on the roof of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art in New York City in 2008 and
then at the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin. He
was the first living artist to exhibit inside the
Château de Versailles when a selection of his
works were shown in the Grands Appartements,
once the realm of French monarchs, in 2008.
Koons also focuses in on mass culture with
the American dream and its various fantasies.

Disco Fever
Kilian Hennessy, the name behind the
By Kilian perfume house has ventured
into the art of jewellery design and
has launched the Studio 54 collection.
Inspired by the legendary Studio 54
nightclub in New York, the collection
is glamorous and chic with a sexy wink
to disco fashion. The pieces that make
up the collection, a pair of earrings,
a ring and a bracelet, are available
in 18-carat gold or Rhodium and all
feature a disco ball-inspired sphere.
Adorned with black pavé Swarovski
crystals, the pieces can also be scented
with one of the 35 By Kilian fragrances
thanks to a discretely hidden ceramic
that delicately releases the perfume
through the perforated detailing.

featuring rose gold while the Moonlight version creates the lotus with black
ceramic and white gold.

Bringing on the Borgias
The Borgias, the name brings to mind intrigue, power and poison.
Popes, statesmen, personalities of exception, members of the
celebrated Renaissance family were, too, extraordinary and
enlightened patrons of the greatest artists of the Renaissance
with whom they maintained close relations. In a major show
devoted to the Borgias, the Musée Maillol is exhibiting works by
the great Renaissance artists, among them Michelangelo, da Vinci,
Mantegna, Raphael and Titian. The show is organised around three
essential figures of the family: Alexander VI, elected as pope in
1492, Cesare Borgia, the ambitious statesman and Lucrezia Borgia,
one of the most extraordinary women of the Renaissance. Pope
Alexander VI, born Rodrigo Borgia in Spain in 1431, was a brilliant
and formidable man, but debauched as well with his mistresses
and children (including Cesare and Lucrezia). Cesare Borgia, who
dreamed of turning Italy into a vast kingdom under the rule of
the pope, was the inspiration for Niccolo Machiavelli’s The Prince.
Meanwhile, Lucrezia, credited with a reputation for poisoning,
would go on to become the Duchess of Ferrara in 1505 and at
court patronised the most famous of artists.

On Seeking the Sun
Aristocrat, revolutionary, politician, author, philosopher and at times prisoner, the Marquis de Sade was known for his erotic
and controversial literature embodied by writings that tended, to put it mildly, to go against the general current. A bold show
at the Musée d’Orsay, entitled Sade, Attacking the Sun, pays tribute to the man on the bicentennial of his death, bringing
together master works by the great artists among them Delacroix, Moreau, Degas, Cézanne and Picasso. The aim of the show
as defined by its curator, Annie Le Brun, is “to demonstrate how before taking on major significance in 20th century thinking,
Sade’s work partly brought about the 19th century sensitivity, in spite of the fact that the figure and his ideas were considered
cursed.” Juxtaposing Sade’s writings with the art works on display, the exhibition approaches the various themes the writer
explored including cruelty and criminality, the night and desire, abduction, atheism, and the forces of nature.

Pierre Frey’s colourful fabrics
Delightful Décors
Some 70 international houses of decoration, all participating
in the sixth consecutive Paris Deco Off…, are opening up their
showrooms and collections to professional decorators and the
general public alike. Held this year from January 22nd to January
26th, the event offers a unique opportunity to explore the
aesthetic universe of decoration in one of its cradles, Paris. Creators
of fabrics, light fixtures, carpets, trimmings and more enable you
to enter into the world of their current and past collections while
offering a glimpse into their know-how and craft. The event offers
a convivial way of discovering the world of decoration in Paris and
this year the event’s figurehead is the toucan, which will unveil its
panoply of colours in a warm and festive atmosphere.
Participants will be paying special attention to their window
decorations drawing their inspiration from expressions based on
colour: “rose-tinted glasses”, “it’s black and white”, or “feeling blue”. A
celebrity jury will select the most stunning window while gigantic
lamps designed by the participating designers and decoration
editors will light your way through the Left and Right Bank venues.
Leading names in decoration are all taking part in the event and
include Christian Fischbacher, Manuel Canovas, Lorca and Pierre
Frey, which is celebrating its 80th birthday this year with a host
of new collections, but one can also discover some exclusive
houses like Evitavonni of London, which creates interiors of muted
elegance or Declercq Passementiers an establishment which
48 WHE R E PA R I S I J A N UA R Y 2015
makes trimmings for the likes of the Chateau of Versailles. Some
of the houses hail from further a field like the U.S. based Donghia,
known for the high quality and durability of its textiles which
range from the sophisticated to the simple, from the familiar to the
exotic, it will be presenting its Past Perfect collection.
The house of Braquenié, founded in 1824, earned its renown
during the Second Empire. The firm’s style was rich and
opulent showcasing strong colours like fuchsia, peacock blue,
canary yellow and this year the house is celebrating a return
to this lush style. And when museums and historical châteaux
require intricate trimmings they inevitably turn to Declercq
Passementiers. The house, whose story began back in 1852, is
currently run by the sixth generation of the family, incarnated
by Jérôme and Elisa Declercq. Ancestral methods are used in
the intricate processes of weaving, embroidering and twisting
threads to create braids, fringes, tassels and a host of fine
finishing touches. And this year the house is embarking on a new
journey by presenting trimmings that literally come to light in
a stunning innovation in which fringes, ropes and tiebacks are
illuminated to create magical settings.
Jan 22-26
9:30am-7:30pm and until 11pm on the 24th.

The Figurative and the Fantasy
Rich and diverse was the New Figuration movement leaving behind a complex mark on
the landscape of contemporary painting. An exhibition at the Polad-Hardouin Gallery
devoted to four emblematic figures of the movement reveals its extreme diversity through
the “psycho-paintings” of Marcel Pouget, the vigorous geometry of Jacques Grinberg,
the exuberance of Michel Macréau and the dramatic carnival inspired works of Maryan.
The expression New Figuration first appeared in 1950 referring to works that emerged in
France during a period dominated by abstraction and the expressionist forms. These were
works by artists headed down a third path, a path of a fantastic universe filled with humour,
anxiety and cruelty. A movement embodied by Pouget’s rendering of recreation in a
psychiatric hospital, the red and black palette of Grinberg, the graphic works of Macréau
and the eerie masks and signs of power in Maryan’s carnival-inspired works.

Exhibitions
Within the context of events and celebrations marking the Great War, La Bibliothéque de
Documentation Internationale Contemporaine and the Musée de l’Armée have joined
together to present an exhibition at Hôtel des Invalides of pictorial representations from
those who were actually on the front underscoring how they saw, perceived and represented
the war front from the beginning to the end of the conflict. An exceptional ensemble of
some 500 works has been brought together, works produced on the front by the ensemble
of the warring parties, showing the European fronts as well as those of the Near East, the
Dardanelles and the Balkans. The powerful, evocative works exhibited in the show were
created by those who lived through the conflict and some among them were celebrated like
Maurice Denis, Félix Vallotton, Guillaume Apollinaire, Fernand Léger and Otto Dix.

From Fontainebleau’s
Fabulous Furnishings
+
The Chateau of Fontainebleau is one of the great castles of France and is the only royal and
imperial chateau to have been inhabited continuously for seven centuries by the monarchs
and rulers of the land. Its décor, works of art and furniture are exceptional and lavish. Today, a
celebrated piece is being exhibited to the public, known as the Odyssey Cabinet, it is a piece
that has decorated the Grand Apartments since the Second Empire. For the exhibition, which
runs through January 26th, the 17th century cabinet’s doors are opened to reveal inside
secret drawers and compartments
ornamented with rich themes based
on Ulysses and Alexander the Great.
Additional works and a multi-media
display complement the focus on
the cabinet. The great Renaissance
king François I whose reign began
500 years ago in 1515, was one of
the monarchs to enjoy the royal
apartments at Fontainebleau and
commissioned what is considered
today to be one of the finest
Renaissance decorations in France,
the Gallery of François I, in and of itself
worth a visit to the castle.

Caffé Stern
Italy’s innovative Alajmo restaurant group, which runs the superb Michelin
three-star Le Calandre in Padova and the romantic il Quadri overlooking
the Piazza San Marco in Venice, teamed up with designer Philippe Starck
and Paris restaurateur David Lanher, whose other restaurants include the
trendy Paradis, Racines and Vivant, to create this glamorous but accessible
and very good Italian café-restaurant on the former premises of the
engraver Stern in the romantic Passage des Panoramas. This covered
19th century pedestrian shopping lane was already one of the most
atmospheric places in Paris, so Starck used his usual visual sorcery to riff on
its storied past in a witty way that respects its good landmarked bones. A
stuffed lynx and a stuffed wolf, both wearing rhinestone collars, greet you
in the shop windows on the way in, and then the place reveals itself as a
series of intimate rooms and nooks and crannies. It’s open non-stop as a
café from 9am to midnight, and serves lunch and dinner from 12.30pm
to 2.30pm and 7.30pm-10.30pm. The Italian service crew is charming
and English speaking, and the inventive menu runs from steamed pizza
topped with vegetables to excellent risotto and pastas, the best veal
cutlet in Paris, turkey ‘tonnato’ (like veal tonnato but made with turkey
breast) and other off-beat dishes. An ideal choice for a casual but excellent
meal, but be sure and book, since it’s very popular.

Nakatani
Tucked away in a side street in the chic 7th arrondissement,
Nakatani has quietly become an insider’s favourite with Left
Bank gourmets ever since it opened last July. What has the
locals flocking here is the inventive, refined and beautifully
prepared contemporary French cooking of Japanese born
chef Shinsuke Nakatani, who worked for French chef Hélène
Darroze at her south-western French table for nine years
before hanging out his own shingle. When asked why he
decided to make his career in France instead of Japan,
Nakatani explains that he fell in love with French produce.
“The quality is spectacular, and it’s so stimulating that it
changes so much with the seasons,” says the chef, who
insists that the goal of his work is to flatter the natural tastes
of his raw materials as much as possible. What this means are
dishes like a starter of cubes of raw bonito rolled in poutargue
crumbs and garnished with endive braised with orange and
Gold Rush apple or pan-sautéed brill with wilted iceberg
lettuce, baby leeks and turnips, and a gently acidulous sauce
that is a lighter version of a classic sauce gribiche, which is
made with herbs, hard-boiled eggs, mustard and oil. The
soothing mostly white dining room makes for a light and
relaxed setting in which to have a meal, with white painted
18th century beams overhead emphasising the rustic chic of
the space, and the young service is well-drilled and friendly.
Excellent value for the money, too. – A.L.

Sébillon
April in Paris may be celebrated in the famous George Gershwin song, but January is a wonderful time to visit the city
for anyone who really loves to eat. Many of the classics of the French kitchen make for delectable winter eating, notably
France’s superb oysters and gigot d’agneau, or roast leg of lamb. If this sounds like your kind of meal, head for Sébillon,
a charming long-running well-mannered brasserie that’s a favourite with a business power crowd at noon and wellheeled locals in the evening. Aside from the prompt good-humoured service and reasonable prices, what many
people come here for is the leg of lamb, which is carved from the bone tableside and served with stewed lingots,
or white beans. You’re welcome to ask for a second or, improbably, a third serving, too, but it’s better to build a more
moderate feast by starting with some oysters, they offer bivalves from three of the best producers in France, Pascal
Magné, Gillardeau, and Joël Dupuch. There are also many other choices on the menu, of course, including lobster
stuffed ravioli or duck foie gras to start, and then grilled sole or a filet with sauce Béarnaise. Finish up with the crepes
Suzette, flambéed en salle too, and note that this engaging address is open daily for lunch and dinner, with last orders
in the evening at 11pm. – A.L.
20 ave Charles de Gaulle, 92200 Neuilly-sur-Seine, 01 46 24 71 31
With its elegant 1936 vintage art deco décor and well-heeled worldly clientele
frequently sprinkled with famous faces, this superb table at the Plaza Athénée
Hotel on the Avenue Montaigne is not only one of the chicest restaurants in Paris,
but with a kitchen under the supervision of Alain Ducasse, it also serves some
seriously good Gallic comfort food. Maitre d’hotel Werner Küchler is one of the
savviest and most gallant restaurant czars in Paris, with an ability to compose the
dining room in a perfect social mise-en-scène at every service, and everyone who
works here follows his lead in terms of being exceptionally attentive and gracious.
Young chef Philippe Marc knows what makes the beautiful people happy, too,
including simple dishes like a salad of lamb’s lettuce (mâche, in French) with
artichoke hearts and black truffles and the scallop carpaccio, the sole meunière
with potato mousseline and sautéed spinach, roast chicken and a Viennese style
veal scallop. Desserts are made by Christophe Michalak, one of the great pastry
chefs of Paris, and the one not to miss is the sumptuous La Religieuse Caramel au
Beurre Salé, a superb caramel confection. Whether it’s for a celebratory lunch, a
special night on the town, or a business meal, this address is always the perfect
choice. – A.L.

Beyond its unusual name, this handsome new
Franco-Californian brasserie solves a perennial
problem for many visitors to Paris, which is where
to have a good meal before or after a visit to the
Eiffel Tower. Designed by fashionable Paris-based
architect and interior designer Christophe Pillet, this
restaurant in the Pullman Paris Eiffel Tower Hotel is a
relaxed, airy, comfortable and friendly place.
Working in an open kitchen, American chef
Andrew Wigger shrewdly melds the healthy,
ethnically diverse style of California with Gallic
recipes and produce to create a unique and very
appealing menu, and in true Californian style,
the chef has an on-the-premises herb garden to
supply his kitchen with fresh culinary punctuation.
Start off with some grilled flat bread served with
whipped goat cheese, figs, pears and rocket, and
then go for the Asian-style sliders (meatballs) with
chilli and hoisin sauce or the grilled octopus to
start. Main courses run from meal-sized salads
to delicious and previously impossible to find in
Paris dishes like Franco-American coq au vin, in
this version, fried chicken with a lush wine sauce,
or surf-and-turf, a roasted lobster tail and grilled
filet mignon with charred white asparagus and
Sriracha hollandaise sauce. Don’t miss the short
but well-chosen selection of California wines on
the carte des vins either. – A.L.

Le Bistrot Family
In a New York-style décor enjoy the friendly service and
delicious fare at the recently opened Le Bistrot Family. In the
very quintessentially Parisian 6th arrondissement near the
Marché Saint-Germain-des-Prés you will find this FrancoAmerican table that serves a menu featuring traditional
French fare including a beef tartare served with frites of
course and American specialties, notably the burger. The
burger menu features everything from a traditional beef
burger to a Frenchy version with a duck steak, mushrooms,
truffle sauce and foie gras. Vegetarians aren’t left out
either with Le Végétarien Burger on the menu, which is a
delicious mountain of grilled vegetables, a hearty Portobello
mushroom and onion chutney. All burgers are served with
homemade fries and condiments, even the barbecue sauce
is homemade. Make sure you leave room for dessert. For
chocoholics the chocolate mousse with Speculoos biscuit
pieces is a must, and if you are after something a little
“lighter” the Tarte Tatin is just perfect. – S.I.

Boulettes
Street food couldn’t get any tastier than the
freshly made sandwiches from the recently
opened restaurant Boulettes. Simply meaning
meatballs, this popular restaurant serves only
meatballs, the only difference is the “meatballs”
are available in five different flavours to suit all
tastes and any food restrictions. The restaurant
changes its menu every day, depending on the
fresh produce available, however, chef Kevin
Austruy, who previously worked at the Ritz, always
prepares 5 recipes, 3 are always meat-based, a
fish-based option and a vegetarian option and
could include flavours such as satay and coriander
chicken and carrot, feta and roasted fig. You
choose your meatball, salads and condiments
and watch as your sandwich is prepared right in
front of your eyes. If you prefer you can also enjoy
your meatballs served as a dish, again you simply
choose your meatball and side salads, including
baby spinach with a nutty vinaigrette and a radish
and bean shoot salad. This is a great table if you
are after a hearty gourmet sandwich to enjoy
while you walk your way through the hipster 2nd

and ricotta cheese, there is also Baccaramon, the classic
Spanish favourite Pan con Tomate topped with ham and
the delicately prepared Roulé de Saumon, fresh salmon
filled with cream cheese and sitting on toasted bread. The
convivial setting makes for a fun table to enjoy good food
and a couple of drinks with friends or colleagues after a
day spent in the office. Farrago also serves brunch every

GLORIOUS GAME
By Patricia Valicenti
G
ame has enjoyed a glorious history in France from
the tables of the mighty lords of the Middle Ages to
the land’s powerful monarchs and it is still savoured
today, offered on a host of the capital’s fine tables.
And the game season is in full swing throughout the
winter months with Parisian restaurants offering a host of original
and traditional preparations of the savoury fare.
The forests and woods that encircle Paris all once teemed with
large and small game and were favoured hunting haunts of the
monarchs of France. Hunting lodges still dot the landscape though
other uses are made of them, like the former lodge of the Duke of
Valmy in which the Marmottan Monet Museum is housed. The city
even has its own hunting museum, Le Musée de la Chasse et de la
Nature, located in a pair of splendid 17th century mansions in the
Marais neighbourhood.
Game indelibly makes its mark on Taillevent’s wine pairing menu
which was elaborated with Jay McInerney, the author of, among
other works, Bacchus and Me: Adventures in the Wine Cellar. The
American writer chose the wines while the chef Alain Solivérès
imagined the dishes to match them and the five-course menu
includes three delectable dishes of game. There is the fabulous
pheasant in a cream sauce with foie gras sublimed by Sauternes,
while the course of young partridge with polenta and olives is
savoured with a Gevrey Chambertin followed by venison with
hazelnuts, chestnuts and the sublime Sauce Grand-Veneur
(meaning head huntsman) served with a Pessac Léognan.
Meanwhile, Pierre Gagnaire is brilliantly showcasing game
throughout his current menu. Witness the young partridge
flavoured with holly brandy or opt for the truffled hare terrine. A
dish entitled Comme en Castille is all about marinated partridge
sautéed with garlic then conserved in a small jar with olive oil,
savoury and anise. Carry on in earnest with a main course of the
venison and young boar duo or a saddle of venison with Malabar
pepper in a Diane sauce. The hare dish emerges in three different
servings starting with the saddle, then the thigh and a traditional
puff pastry tourte.

ADVERTORIAL
How to become Parisian in one hour?
As tourists or expats in Paris
there are some quirks we
have all noticed among
the Parisians, the way they
march to their destinations,
their constant pouting
and the way they order at
restaurants. Olivier Giraud
has too, noticed that the
Parisians are unique in
their behaviour, and has
decided to bring all those
idiosyncrasies to light.
Born in Bordeaux, Olivier
moved to Paris to study
hotel management and
after graduating he moved
to the Unites States where
he managed a restaurant
of a 5-star hotel. After
four years, and many
soul-searching nights, he
decided to return to France
72 W H E R E PA R I S I J A N UA R Y 2015
and follow his real dream of
becoming a comedian.
Having experienced
the cultural differences
between the Parisians and
Americans while in Florida,
and having observed for
himself the tourists of all
nationalities in Paris, he
decided to not shy away
from the hard-hitting
questions of how one
becomes a real Parisian.
How do you grab a waiter’s
attention in a café? In the
metro, what do you do if
you see an older lady or a
pregnant woman? And how
do you behave in a cab?
Putting together a one man
show, How to be Parisian
in one hour?, the stand-up
comic will leave you rolling
in your seat from laughter
and 100% prepared for
any situation in the City of
Light. Entirely performed
in English, it is a great show
for everyone, including
Parisians who will no
doubt get a good laugh at
themselves.
It is not an easy feat to
master the Parisian attitude
but Olivier has put together
a fail-proof guideline of
French etiquette that will
leave you embracing the oh
la la factor.
Non-stop laughter from a
real Parisian guaranteed to
leave you wanting more.

Luxury Car Service
Nothing says luxurious comfort more than having a personal chauffeur accompany you on
all your trips. Whether you’re on a whirlwind day full of appointments or simply shopping
up a storm in the capital’s many fashionable neighbourhoods, having a car pick you up,
drop you off and wait for you while you find that perfect outfit or while you sign that sixfigure contract makes all the difference when running around the city. Trip’s Women offers
the perfect service on these crazy days or even for less hectic ones when you just want to
get to where you need to be with no hassle of finding a cab and having punctuality and
comfort guaranteed. You can even call Trip’s Women for airport transfers and day trips if
you want to just escape without the need to hop on a train.
The service is friendly and the car is chic.
You can organise your car by calling Leila on 07 61 15 95 74.

Paris Metro
Paris is crossed by 14 Métro lines
and five RER (express suburban)
lines, all numbered and named for
their final destination (terminus). Did
you know that there are 300 stations
that make up Paris’ metro system?
80 W H E R E PA R I S I J A N UA R Y 2015
Each Métro trip requires one ticket
regardless of how many transfers
you make, though you must buy an
extra ticket for the RER outside the
city limits. Keep your ticket until
you exit.
Tickets are sold in all stations
and in cafés (tabacs) with a ticket
sign outside, single (1.70€/2€ if
purchased on a bus) or by 10 (un
carnet - 13.70€). This map includes
the new tramway line.
“Paris Visite” passes offer unlimited
travel on the Métro and buses (1day 10.85€, 2-day 17.65€, 3-day
24.10€, 5-day 34.70€). The Métro
and RER start running at 5:30am,
and stop around 1 am.
While the Métro is an extremely
safe way to travel, watch out for
pickpockets in crowded trains
and stations. For information in
English, call the transportation
company
(RATP) directly at
08.92.68.41.14.

Passage des Panoramas
For our readers who are looking for
a traditional Parisian bistro serving
authentic French cuisine, where would
you book them a table?
At Les Lyonnais, an Alain Ducasse bistro
located not too far from the Louvre or at
La Tour d’Argent for the history and the
view, or at Ze Kitchen Gallery for chef
William Ledeuil’s inventive cuisine.
Paris is well-known for its magnificent
monuments, from where would you
suggest our readers get the best view
of the city?
From the Hyatt Regency Bar at night,
from the top of the Pantheon and from
the rooftop of Printemps department
store.
82 W H E R E PA R I S I J A N UA R Y 2015
It’s not always easy for our readers to
find somewhere fun to head to at 2am,
where would you recommend they
party till dawn?
L’Arc, which recently reopened, is an
exceptional club and is very close to the
Champs-Elysées. I would also recommend
Castel, a chic and dandy club on the Left
Bank and there is also Le bus Palladium,
which is more of an eccentric place.
As the fashion capital, which areas do
you think showcase the best fashions?
The Madeleine and Saint-Germain-desPrés areas.
My perfect day
9am A nice cup of coffee at Fauchon
12pm Spending the morning at the Bon
Marché
3pm Walking along the Coulée Verte from
Bastille to Canal Saint-Martin
9pm Dinner at the Pantruche, a gourmet
bistro found on rue Victor Massé on the
way to Montmartre
Fauchon Paris
For a couple in love where would you
recommend they go for a romantic
dinner?
La Grande Cascade, a charming table in
the Bois de Boulogne with an old-world
décor that sets the right mood for your
romantic dinner.
What have you recently discovered
in Paris that you would advise guests
to see?
The Romantic Picnic Basket Tour on a 2CV
or a DS with 4 Roues Sous un Parapluie,
and I also recently discovered the
Académie Equestre de Versailles where I
saw the Bartabas Horse show.

If one of our readers was in Paris for only
24 hours, what would you recommend
him to do?
Start with the covered passageways,
Passage Jouffroy and Passage des
Panoramas that are found off the Grands
Boulevards, and then head to Musée
Jacquemart-André before lunching at 16
Haussmann. Continue your promenade
on the Left Bank at the Luxembourg
Garden, along rue Soufflot, pass the
Pantheon and stop for a romantic dinner
at La Closerie des Lilas.
