Courrèges in the Marais, return to favor of the neo-60's look!
The return to favor of the neo-60s look catches our eye in the window of the new Courrèges boutique. Unmissable, this white space with its radical style gives Rue Vieille du Temple an unexpected retro-futuristic perspective.

Before its upcoming opening, we can already see curves and straight lines of immaculate white, punctuated by colorful silhouettes, timeless icons of the House.
It is in this decor of padded minimalism that we will soon be able to wear the very latest collections designed by Nicolas Di Felice.
For next season, the wardrobe composed by the new Artistic Director gives way to “neostalgia”. Faithful to the visionary couturier, he revives the spirit of the 1963 collections by reinterpreting the classic mini-skirts and vinyl pieces with graphic lines, “as if it had been telescoped from a Brussels nightclub – where he came from – to 6th arrondissement of Paris”.

It is with the desire to address new generations that the young designer imagined clothes “emblematic of a life” and not of a single season.
It is also for this reason that the brand revitalized the original Courrèges canvas by creating an eco-friendly vinyl composed of 70% organic polyurethane.
You will see, these new, more accessible timeless pieces are as desirable as they are durable.

3 Belgian addresses in the Marais
Whether they are Walloons or Flemish, the French love the Belgians for their energy and their communicative good humor. Here are some Belgian addresses firmly established in the Marais.
The Top 3 jewelry stores/workshops
Le Marais, where jewelry was already made under the Ancien Régime, remains faithful to tradition. Look closely: almost every street has one or more jewelry stores. If only for the pleasure of the eyes, you must stop in front of their window to appreciate this French know-how inherited from previous centuries.
Topology, accessories designed for adventure
An accessories store, Topologie was created by Carlos Granon, a Frenchman based in Hong Kong, and Go Urano, a Japanese from Tokyo, two childhood friends who are passionate about climbing. After having been distributed at Merci, Fleux and elsewhere in Paris, their products are now sold in their own flagship store which has just opened...
NOW ON THE MOOD MARSH
Divine brunch at the foot of Notre-Dame
Of course, officially, it is not the Marais. But at Son de la Terre, a barge recently moored at the Montebello quay (5th), the 4th arrondissement is in sight. Moreover, this one is incredible: on one side, it is Notre-Dame flooded with sunlight; on the other, the quays, the book sellers, the walkers, the joggers.
Saka, a cocktail bar like in Tokyo
Here is an address which gives the measure of the transformation of the Marais. And it's enough to silence the grumpy people whose mantra is: “It was better before…” No, everything was not better “before” in the Marais. Besides, there was no American bar like Saka, which cultivates a form of excellence that can only be found in Japan.
Jazz at 38Riv: The highlights of May
The only jazz club in the Marais, 38Riv is the temple of cool and swing. Rue de Rivoli, between Saint-Paul and Hôtel de Ville, its vaulted cellars are the home base of the new jazz scene. Every evening, the magic happens.
