the Left Bank cafe
habitué to the naughty Paris of Pigalle’s red-light bars,
Paris is all things to all men. One of the great art
repositories of the world, Paris harbours a pretty illustrious
artistic pedigree, listing Renoir, Picasso, Monet, Rodin and Manet
amongst it’s most prized. Despite its antiquities, the city’s cache
of modern and contemporary art is
no less fervent and can be found across of scores of smaller
museums across the Marais and beyond.

With iconic postcard views and wicker-chair-lined terraces,
Paris’s cuisine is second to none. Ranging from humble
boulangeries, to cosy neighbourhood bistro to a
triple-Michelin-starred flavour of the month, the city boasts a
varied food scene of tradition and contemporaneity in equal
parts.

Shopping is equally scintillating. Browse emerging and
established designers in resplendent department stores, scour
vintage shops and flea markets, and scan the bankside dark-green
bouquiniste stalls for rare editions.
