Founded in 1954 by Jean Fournier (1922-2006), this art gallery still stands up for the choices made by Jean Fournier concerning abstraction but associating it to younger artists : James Bishop, Pierre Buraglio, Didier Demozay, Sam Francis, Simon Hantaï, Pierre Mabille, Jean-François Maurige, Michel Parmentier, Jean-Paul Riopelle, François Rouan, Peter Soriano, Claude Tétot or Claude Viallat mix with younger artists such as Frédérique Lucien, Nathalie Elemento, Stéphane Bordarier, Elizabeth Cooper, Nicolas Guiet and Emmanuel Van der Meulen.

Aimé Maeght (1906-1981) was at the same time an art dealer, a publisher, a movie producer and an art collector as well. He exhibited Braque, Matisse, Léger, Mirò, Tàpies, Chillida, Chagall, Kandinsky, Kelly, Calder, Giacometti, Bram van Velde, Alechinsky Rebeyrolle, Adami, Monory or Ting. With 12 000 titles published, Maeght is now recognized as the most important editor of lithographs and engravings in the world.
The gallery is managed by Isabelle Maeght. The exhibitions enable visitors to see the works of historic artists, but also to discover more contemporary ones : Gérard Gasiorowski, Marco Del Re, Selma Gurbuz, Aki Kuroda, Manolo Valdes or Ernst Scheidegger. The gallery still publishes many books, reproductions, and engravings (prints).
Denise René has been for more than 60 years a great lady in contemporary art. The history of geometrical abstraction and cinétisme would not exist without her. Franck Marlot is now at the head of the gallery but Denise René still comes there almost every day.

Born in the late 80s, En Attendant les Barbares is known for being the publisher of the first creations of Elisabeth Garouste and Mattia Bonetti. His approach has always been to try to break down the boundaries between design and decorative art, for example by emphasizing the work of craftsmen. Over time, many designers from different generations and backgrounds have joined the gallery, bringing their touch to the eclecticism that makes its identity, among them Christian Ghion, Arik Lévy, Mark Brazier-Jones, André Dubreuil or Matt Sindall.
Fine Arts, philosophy, theatre, literature, poetry, history, but also medicine or feminism, the Librairie La Mazarine is a must, especially for rare or old books. Founded in 1946, it is now directed by Pierre Durieu, very attached to primitive arts and contemporary art. The bookstore also carries out appraisals of old books with an extraordinary eye and meticulousness.
Robert and Cheska Vallois have been dedicating their gallery to Art Deco since 1971. For furniture and art objects, the Art Deco years (1918-1940) were a period of luxuriance and sophistication for the materials used (shagreen, ivory, parchment, lacquer, mother-of-pearl, rare and precious wood …) which were sublimated by a great creativity in shapes. The Art Deco years had a major influence on contemporary design and marked the peak of interior designers and French craftsmen. The Vallois present the most talented creators of those years : Pierre Chareau, Marcel Coard, Jean Dunand, Jean-Michel Frank, Alberto et Diego Giacometti, Eileen Gray, André Groult, Paul Iribe, Pierre Legrain, Eugène Printz, Armand-Albert Rateau, or Jacques-Emile Ruhlman.
In the grandiose setting of the former swimming-pool of the Lutetia Hotel, three structures made of wood have been put up. A sort of futurist and mobile cabins now come to modify the rigor of the space by conveying a convivial touch.
Those structures house thematic and temporary spaces in which the “House Art” takes up a lot of room, particularly with the new editions of Jean-Michel Franck’s furniture.
After the Puces, Thomas Fritsch took, like many talented merchants, the path to Saint-Germain des Prés. His style ? The 1950s and 1960s, culminating in ceramics and unique pieces by Pol Chambost, Georges Jouve, Roger Capron, André Aleth Masson, Jacques and Dani Ruelland, and Denise Gatard.

This is one of the favorite bistro addresses of Germanopratin people. After Fish, la Boissonnerie, Cosi and Freddy’s, the American Juan Sanchez and the New Zealander Drew Harré wanted to create, still in Saint-Germain, a place dedicated to healthy and seasonal cuisine, with many raw foods, fish and seafood and little meat. Soups, gazpachos, tartares, carpaccios and other ceviches are therefore in the spotlight. Eric Trochon, Meilleur Ouvrier de France 2011, and his team, concoct all this in front of us, in the kitchen open to the room.

More than anything, she loves bold colors, which she often underlines with deep black. Le Bleu Sarah is now her signature, but in her universe there are many other creations, because Sarah Lavoine is often where you least expect her. Her style is both Parisian and cosmopolitan, she puts everything she likes into it, color of course, but also antique objects, designer pieces, photography, because it is above all a certain art. to live that she defends. The Roch Hotel, one of his latest projects, is a good example of this: cheerful, warm and friendly, Parisians love it. If it is now around the world that Sarah Lavoine creates her decorations, it is in her Parisian boutiques that one can find her collections of furniture, lighting, decorative objects, household linen and even a very pretty line of clothing.
