Galerie ZLOTOWSKI

An essential gallery for lovers of modern art and the avant-gardes of the early twentieth century. If it is a reference gallery for the pictorial work of Le Corbusier, whose pictorial work it has contributed to the rediscovery by devoting a number of exhibitions to him, the Galerie Zlotowski has also extended its field of […]

Galerie FURSTENBERG

la galerie travaille sur deux axes très différents : elle propose d’une part une large sélection d’éditions graphiques et photographiques réalisées depuis 1958 avec les plus grandes figures du mouvement surréaliste : Salvador Dali (Elle édite ses estampes), Hans Bellmer, Giorgio De Chirico, Salvador Dali, Leonor Fini ou Wassily Kandinsky, mais elle expose aussi de […]

LA VILLA D’ESTREES

In the deep heart of Saint-Germain, in one of those little preserved streets of the old Paris, the Villa d’Estrées is almost a private house as it only has ten bedrooms. The style, in reference to the discrete elegance of the Paris of Napoléon the 3rd and of the baron Haussmann, harmoniously mixes antique furniture […]

NOUAILHAC

The furniture by Gilles Nouialhac seems to have been shaped by a cabinetmaker of long ago and yet it is contemporary creation, that the creator suggests reinterpreting with new materials: PVC, weaving, of fake leather … and a large choice of materials selected from many creators. Some 60 models of classic seats are presented in […]

SAINT-SULPICE

  It is our favourite square, the hyphen between the Place Saint-Germain and the Jardin du Luxembourg. The Place Saint-Sulpice has a very parisian charm. It welcomes every year many events such as the “Foire Saint-Germain” in June. Situated in the center of the square, the fountain, which was erected in 1844 is named the […]

ODEON

  We often arrange to meet under the Statue of Danton to go to the cinema, to the theater or to have a drink. Nearby, the Théâtre de l’Odéon and the Cour du Commerce Saint-André are witnesses of the Age of the Enlightenment, which saw the birth of this neighborhood. During summer the Theater square […]

MUSEE DU LUXEMBOURG

It was Marie de Medici who had the Luxembourg Palace built between 1615 and 1630. In 1750, it became the first French museum open to the public, with nearly 200 paintings on display, before becoming in 1818, the “museum of living artists” Where Parisians can discover the creations of painters like David, Ingres or Delacroix.

It is an ideal stopping place when the weather is great, sat in the shade of plane trees, Judas trees, or alders, among […]

MUSEE ZADKINE

Un lieu de charme, à quelques pas du jardin du Luxembourg. Niché dans la verdure de son jardin, c’est un petit musée intime et poétique dédié à l’oeuvre d’Ossip Zadkine, sculpteur russe émigré à Paris en 1908 et qui y vécut jusqu’à sa mort en 1967, avec son épouse, Valentine Prax, elle-même peintre. C’est elle […]
