ZHANG
Student at ESMOD
When she walks in the Marais, Zhang feels like she is walking through the set of one of her favorite films, The kid (2007) released in many countries, including his own, under the title La vie en rose. Certainly, “La Môme Piaf” is a child of the 20th century, not of the Marais, but that doesn’t matter.
One thing is certain: originally from Wuhan, China's eighth largest city by population, Zhang is both a fashionista who studies at ESMOD – the oldest fashion school, founded in Paris in 1841 – and a compulsive movie buff. Having seen old Paris on the big screen, its streets have become familiar to him.
“For me, the capital embodies romance above all,” Zhang told us the day we met her at Place de Thorigny. Paris, like Edith Piaf and French fashion, is irresistible!

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.
