Jeff Koons IT’S A KOONS WORLD By Patricia Valicenti T 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.

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. 59-61 rue de Grenelle (7th), 01 42 22 59 58 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. – Alexander Lobrano 47 passage des Panoramas (2nd), 01 75 43 63 10 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. 27 rue Pierre Leroux (7th), 01 47 34 94 14 Chef Shinsuke Nakatani w w w. w h e re t r a v e l e r. c o m 57 DINING Restaurants 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. 21 ave Montaigne (8th), 01 53 67 64 00 58 W H E R E PA R I S I J A N UA R Y 2015 Relais plaza photo © Eric Laignel Le Relais Plaza Seafood, a Parisian culture.

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. 28 rue Jean Rey (15th), 01 44 38 57 77 Frame photo © Arpad Pinter, Balint Ordogh 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.

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 arrondissement. – S.I. 179 rue Saint-Denis (2nd), 01 42 21 46 44 In the 10th arrondissement, hidden in a discrete passageway that leads to a closed off street, is where you will find Farago, a contemporary tapas bar where you can enjoy cocktails and great tapas. On the menu to share is the Jolito Verde, a crepe deliciously filled with spinach, tomatoes 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.

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.

The roebuck, hunted in France, is delightfully prepared with candied turnips, onions with mango vinegar and pepper sauce. DINING Champagne & Chocolate Champagne and Chocolate When in France enjoying a glass of champagne is the pleasure du jour and enjoying it with chocolate is even more pleasurable. If you enjoy white chocolate your champagne of choice should be Champagne Pascal Doquet.

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.

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.

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.

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. / '%)&!(&' ((# ),)&- '#"")(/) " ''2 '(#&!#")!"( /"'&*' (#"#-)"%) '#$$",$&" /$"#&!(&& #&"(!#'( '()"""*+#&' /)"%)'#$$" ,$&""(!#'( )() !)')!

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. where ® Your Guide to the World Fauchon Paris, Le Cafe © Luc Boegly; 4 Roues Sous 1 Parapluie © Damien Keller; Passage des Panoramas © Fausto Mazza 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.
