In South America, Peru is considered the country with the best food. Mancora Cebicheria, rue Dupetit-Thouars, confirms that this reputation is not usurped. Here we enjoy “ceviche” (from €14; one of them is vegetarian) prepared fresh which seems to arrive directly from the port of Lima. The service is very friendly and the bill reasonable. We also love the balsamic octopus at €18.

One wonders if it is not quite simply the best Japanese restaurant in Paris... It is in any case the one which most authentically recreates the atmosphere of the streets of Tokyo, where one eats there on-the-go cuisine with subtle flavors. Between street food and gastronomy, this Tokyo restaurant, which offers, among other things, caramelized pork ribs and grilled mackerel with Korean sauce, is one of the good deals at the Enfants-Rouges market. It's delicious and inexpensive. Tofu bentos at €13,50.

FIRST
Forza Italia!
Primo
Firstly, this discreet trattoria does not seek to show off. But, secondly, it is an address that has proven itself with Italian classics: vegetarian or meat lasagna, Parmiggiani (baked eggplant-tomato-cheese millefeuille) at €10, Caprese salad (tomato mozzarella) at €12 and pizzas to die for. They also serve different options: “AperolSpritz like in Venice”, LimoncelloSpritz or BluSpritz (in Curaçao) for €10. The storefront doesn't look like much and you can walk past it a thousand times without paying attention. Which would be a mistake.

TO TAKE CARE OF YOU, IT'S THIS WAY
We tested Ashtanga Yoga with Hawaiian Callie Mahoney
During Ashtanga Yoga sessions with Callie Mahoney, you feel like you're going to the end of the world, somewhere on a distant island. Normal: this former model who has been practicing yoga since a young age herself comes from Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
An extraordinary dance course for All Saints’ Day
Then we dance ? Yes, and not with just anyone! During the All Saints' Day holidays, the Nadine Bommer Dance Academy company takes up residence at the Center de Danse du Marais, where we sway our hips in a thousand ways, always with grace and good humor.
Where to swim in the Marais?
With the summer holidays approaching, what could be better than a few swimming sessions to shape a summer body? Unfortunately, the Marais only has one swimming pool on its territory, that of Saint-Merri, opposite Beaubourg (4th). Fortunately, two pools are not far away…
NOW ON THE MOOD MARSH

Born in 1802, Victor Hugo became a social writer, a playwright, a poet, a novelist and a romantic designer. Nicknamed the man-ocean then the man-century, he is a political figure and a committed intellectual. He found success with Notre-Dame-de-Paris in 1831 and with Les Misérables in 1862.
The best tattoo parlors in Marais
Tattooing, an age-old practice, has long been the prerogative of convicts, dock workers, the underworld and sailors. Although it has become democratized, now affecting all profiles and concerning one in five French people, including 16% women compared to 10% men, it still remains taboo due to its definitive and transgressive nature.
Juliette Drouet actress, muse and mistress of Victor Hugo
