In an old art galery Dries Van Noten did open his first shop totally dedicated to male fashion.

The Belgian fashion designer did started 20 years ago in Paris. He makes nicely cut fashion items, mixing a delicate and daring feeling.

With a women chef trained at the best cuisines in Paris, a husband from Hong Kong who is in charge of the drinks (mostly teas, but you also can get wine by the glass) it has to be a interesting place.

The food, a mix French-Chinese is of a high quality. Unfortunately it seems to take a lot of time in between two courses. We thought it was a good idea to try this rookie.

We did try to make a resevation but it was fully booked which is not a surprise when you only have 20 places. Hopefully next time we can book a table.

A new place with the charmes of the 20′s. You can take a cocktail at the bar, have a nice meal and at the end of the evening go down to the jazz club in the basement.

If you want cheap and chic Parisian fashion for young ones, head to Monoprix. (You can also find make-up at a cheap price.)

My daughter and I had great shopping in the basement of Monoprix, Rue de Rennes. We did find rather classic clothes in up-to-date colors at a cheap price. What else do you want more ?
