Marché Saint Honoré
Fashion is on the rampage! As counterpart to its neighbor, the very deluxe place Vendôme, the area around place du Marché Saint Honoré plays the rebel card without ever reneging its couture pedigree. On the menu of this mini revolution ? VIP canteens with extra-light tabs, Lanvin or Marc Jacobs at insider prices, Pilates coaches for stars without paying top price, a boudoir-sex-shop to be haute-couture and naughty. In the land of staggering luxury prices, here is a little block tour that is resolutely anti-crisis.Â

Au bistro, the most trendy of vintage cafés
In the era of sushi-bars and iPads, finance whiz kids and trend setters come to steal a few moments amongst the frenzy of globalization. The « garçon de café » waiter, writes up the daily specials with a chalk on the blackboard: pot au feu, shepherds pie, crème brûlée… In this formica decor, there is a film-like quality that brings to mind scenes directed by Michel Audiard !
We like: « That’s Paris » in a café, the real thing where the lady-owner serves pretty boys in Weston shoes and twigs deck out with labels from head to foot, stop by « in old-fashioned style» for a cup of coffee or to bite into a ham and cheese sandwich while reading the Figaro or Vogue and sipping a glass of Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil.
