CARTIER
A hundred and sixty years after opening their first shop in Paris, Cartier has become the most famous jeweler and watchmaker in the world. Their collections nevertheless kept their audacious family spirit of the early days when the three Cartier brothers Louis, Pierre and Jacques, the founder’s great grandsons, would scour the earth – from India to Russia and the Persian Gulf- for the most beautiful gemstones, which contributed to create a revolutionary style in jewelry and watchmaking, mixing classicism and avant-garde.

DIURNE
« Le Vierge, le vivace et le bel aujourd’hui »…. Marcel Zelmanovitch has this poem from Mallarmé in mind when he opens the Galerie Diurne in Saint Germain des Prés, in 1982. It is a celebration of the now and present. What remains a possibility thanks to passion and energy. That’s how he was defining his project when it started: to bring back to the light a great craftsmanship, threaten in the 80’s by mass-production, through the manufacturing of one-of-a-kind objects.

Galerie MATTHIEU RICHARD
Sophie and Mathieu Richard present pieces of the great French designers of the 1950s : Royère, Adnet, Jouve, Perriand, Prouvé, du Plantier but the gallery concentrates on the work of Mathieu Matégot, an inevitable post-war figure. Matégot was the first one to work metal as others work paper or material, by folding it or piercing it.

CIRE TRUDON
The scents of the Dyptique Candles have become indispensable, but there are other candles which are in harmony with them to give places we love a genuine character. Cire Trudon, a Royal Manufacture with an ancestral knowledge, which is the oldest candle factory in the world (1643) created them ! Here the perfumes are not identifiable at first “smell” but there are unique mixes which all reinterprete a moment of history and bring the legend of French taste to light : Empire, Pondichéry, La Marquise, Chandernagor, Odeur de Lune, Odalisque or Carmelite, Empire, Dada…

LE CHOCOLAT ALAIN DUCASSE
Alain Ducasse and Nicolas Berger both share a passion for original tastes over extravagant ones and have selected chocolates for their purity and personality from twelve sources, meaning as many different identities and unique flavours. Each selected bean is carefully worked according to its own character and is unmixed to better reveal the identity of its producing country.

BULY OFFICINE
To bring back the glory days of the Jean-Vincent Bully’s Officine which made a name for itself in the 19th century, Victoire de Taillac and Ramdane Touami went back to the original recipes and associated ancestral textures and protocoles with innovative cosmetic techniques to obtain natural products with longtested virtues.
Nothing is missing in the interior design imagined by Nicolas Daul, from the real apothecary counters to the painted ceilings, the spirit of Honoré de Balzac can be felt everywhere !
