Colette

Tænker det her kunne være noget for Victor :)
Dem der ikke er helt så interesserede kunne jo så sidde nede i caféen i kælderen eller lege med hunden Oscar ;)
Fra Turen går til Paris:

"På de 700 omhyggeligt pakkede kvadratmeter har en broget samling hippe hoveder samlet cremen af mode, musik, design og gadgets fra hele verden, og en tur rundt i forretningen er som at bladre i et vovet og forfriskende uhøjtideligt livsstilsblad. (...)
Udvalget er dybt esoterisk, og side om side finder man galliske street-art antologier, tidsskriftet The Journal of Shirt Culture og den legendariske figure Barbars finurlige pamflet Yoga pour Éléphants. Her er dyre, men pjankede dødningehovednøgleringe af den engelske designguru Alexander McQueen, unikafigurer i mangastil, flankeret af knuste sparegrise der sælges som samlesæt. Førstesalen er helliget mode til herrer og mademoiseller og består af en tilsyneladende uorganiseret skov af mannequinner, stylet i en sælsom blanding af skaterkluns fra Stüssy og Converse og high-end fashionklude fra Junya Watanabe, Dries van Noten og Hussein Chalayan. Hyggen står butikkens labrador, Oscar, for. Han vimser rundt og snuser dovent til kunderne, ligesom man kan sidde og hænge i kælderetagens Water Bar, hvis priser tilmed er væsentlig lavere end de fleste nærliggende bistroers."

La Mosquee


Ser ud til at være en blanding af museum, café, reastaurant, spa, grønt område etc. Mathilde synes det ser meget spændende ud :)


Parisians usually enjoy “La mosquee”—the mosque—for its mint tea, traditional pastries and 30-minute massages. But the exotic gardens, the Andalusian mosaics and the 33-meter minaret warrant a visit as well, especially on Sundays after a big night out.

Built between 1922 and 1926 in the Hispano-Moresque style, the mosque commemorates the fallen Muslim “tirailleurs” from the North African colonies who fought against the Germans during World War I. The 1920-traditional hamam is an authentic trip to the “thousand and one night” land, especially after an energetic massage executed by robust Arab women. Student-friendly prices—2-3 Euros for entry—also reflect more authentic times. There’s also a restaurant, a tea room and even a suk inside the mosque.Quote_transparent

Musée de la Mode et du Textile (Museum med tøj og mode)


Kunne Mathilde rigtig godt tænke sig :) men måske det skulle så være hvor vi delte os op i grupper? Det er en del af et kunsthåndværksmuseum så vidt jeg forstår.


Set in the Rohan wing of Le Musée des Arts Décoratifs, the Musée de la Mode et du Textile houses a whopping 6,000 costumes, 35,000 fashion accessories and 30,000 pieces of textile. No small feat for a fashion museum, we assure you, especially considering the nightmare that is textile conservation.

The museum traces the history of fashion from the regency period to present day, and the important and under-appreciated evolution of textile production from the 7th century onward. Re-envisioned in 1997, the museum also hosts exemplary exhibitions from contemporary French design houses like Dior, Chanel and Sonyia Rykiel, in particular. Consult their website for details concerning current exhibitions.Quote_transparent

"Cour carrée" ved Louvre


Godt til at slappe af en aften måske?


Some people have seen the Louvre museum a hundred times in their lives. But few people know the “cour carree” as well, this magnificent courtyard in the western wing of the Louvre (from rue de Rivoli). A short trip there is just a cultural must.

You can sit on one of the few benches of the courtyard late at night and stare at the delicate lights on each façade. Bring a glass of wine if you can. During the day, the old Renaissance architecture and its decorative sculptures are a pleasure for the eye as well as the spirit. And If you’re lucky enough, you’ll hear a lonely cellist playing Bach in the background, which makes it a moment of grace and serenity.Quote_transparent

Palais de Tokyo



A world of contemporary art disguised as a parking lot, the Palais de Tokyo is Paris’ answer to contemporary art post-Pompidou. Housed next to the Musee d’Art Moderne de la Vile de Paris in an art-deco building produced for Paris’ International Exhibition in 1837, the space was opened with art critics Nicolas Bourriaud and Jerome Sans as co-directors, creating a serious stir in the art world.

Architects Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal gave the then-derelict building a much-needed facelift in 2001 for the cool price of 4 million Euros, creating a sprawling and open exhibition space.

With no permanent collection and few solo exhibitions, the museum encourages creativity through short-term group exhibitions and a jam packed agenda filled with lecture series, workshops, performances and an on-site radio station.

It can at times feel more like the world’s most cutting-edge cultural mall, with a self-service restaurant, library and shop, not to mention its midnight closing time. We especially recommend coming for the first Thursday every month, when there is a free vernissage.Quote_transparent
