>Midnight in Paris et autres délices...

Well, "comme d'hab", a little round up of my quick escapade to Paris with my latest tips...

UN
To put you in the mood, do not miss Woody's latest delicacy: "Midnight in Paris". Don't know about you but I'm particularly enjoying Mr.Allen's mature films as much as his classics (or even more)! Vicky Cristina Barcelona was sexy, funny and smart and this one is an absolute delight! Just watching Owen Wilson playing "a la woody", and Adrian Brody as Dali (pict below) is pure perfection.

DEUX
Dans l'intimité des frères Caillebotte, Peintre et photographe
Musee Jaquemart-André

Very intelligent exhibition, showing from one side Martial's photos and from the other Gustave's paintings, depicting Paris' first steps into modernism...
Two regrets, my favorite painting Les raboteurs de parquet was missing, and second, the Musee is too cluttered for such an important show with so many people and.. no AC!

TROIS
Sparkling address: Point Bulles!
Did you know that one of the hidden gems of Paris is a Lebanese Chef? Karim Haidar's restaurants need no presentation but my coup de coeur this week goes to Point Bulles in St Germain's market. Magnificent champagnes and Mediterranean tapas... And click here for the latest review.
