We met Paul-Henry a year ago at the flea market on rue de Bretagne. Here we cross his path again. This time, he is accompanied by the one he spoke to us about with emotion during our previous meeting: Olympe. If Paul-Henry is an assumed dandy, Olympe is his feminine counterpart. This designer’s hobby? Customize, with meticulousness, the accessories that she sells and that she wears. Together, Olympe and Paul-Henry form a model couple, extremely elegant and deliciously old-fashioned. Even the first names!

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.
