This opening has us genuinely excited. Mark your calendars : the new big move by the Paris Society group, opening its new location in the majestic Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild. In this architectural treasure where Balzac once resided, the Baronne restaurant promises a sumptuous decor by Corinne Sachot (Coco), a terrace overlooking the garden (one of the chicest in Paris !), and gourmet cuisine with a focus on excellence and grill cooking. Needless to say, reservations will be in high demand once they open.

It's tough to fit into his costume after 20 years of rest. Zorro has to get back into action after trading his cape and sword for his role as the mayor of Los Angeles. But Don Diego de La Vega must reconsider his peaceful life when Don Emmanuel, a terrible businessman, starts causing trouble in the city. Who else but Jean Dujardin (The Artist) to play him in this new French adaptation ? The choice was obvious for this series that revives this cult character with much humor, alongside André Dussollier (On connaît la chanson) and Eric Elmosnino (Gainsbourg). We can't wait !

Zorro, from September 6th on Paramount+, then on France Télévisions.

After a first chapter of the exhibition at the Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech, where Saint Laurent drew his inspirations, the Yves Saint Laurent Museum presents new outfits highlighting the floral artistry in his creations: from the first embroideries in 1962 to the hats and headpieces of the Bal des Têtes, an homage to Christian Dior and his beloved lily of the valley, to pieces inspired by his favorite artists like Matisse. In short : the most glamorous exhibition of the season. Unmissable !

After its triumph at the last Cannes Festival, L’amour ouf has become one of the most anticipated French films of the year. Gilles Lellouche directs again, six years after the success of Le Grand Bain. The cast of this blend of musical comedy, thriller, romance, and comedy includes François Civil, Adèle Exarchopoulos, Alain Chabat, Benoît Poelvoorde, Raphaël Quenard, and Vincent Lacoste. The pitch ? In the 1980s in northern France, an unbreakable love unites high schoolers Jackie and Clotaire. After 17 years in prison, the young man is determined to find the love of his life, even though she is now married to a wealthy entrepreneur.

L’amour ouf, in cinemas on October 16th.
