The concierge of the Terrass »Hotel tells us her epicurean addresses

We met during our Parisian wanderings Anastasia Revignet, a young woman whose profession is fundamental in the hotel industry: concierge. Officiating in the very beautiful Terrass »Hotel, she told us her best epicurean addresses in Paris… Meeting. Concierge is an honorable distinction… what was your background? I followed specialized studies in reception and concierge. After 5 years in Reunion, I came to Paris and for two years, I have been head concierge at the Terrass »Hotel. Paris, it was a culture shock! But we have a clientele very curious to discover the capital, it is very stimulating and pleasant. Have you noticed any difficulties as a woman? It is an environment that only opened up to women a short time ago. Here, I do not feel any difference, but in the imagination of the customers, the job of concierge remains associated with an old man with a mustache… there is a certain surprise when they realize that the concierge is a woman! Have you already …

Already cult: the Christophe Robin skincare routine

Another stroke of genius from colorist-star Christophe Robin. He tackles, not without courage, one of the biggest challenges of all hair: the lack of volume. With a range of care products dedicated to fine hair, which includes a volumizing cleansing paste with pure rassoul and rose extracts, Christophe Robin fulfills the dream of more than one woman. Texture, volume, movement, density… it's all there. ◊ Rassoul and Rose The new recruit is a shampoo based on rassoul and rose... This response to the lack of density did not fall from the sky, but from Morocco: Christophe Robin was inspired by a traditional ingredient, the Rasul. In this country where hair care is a sinecure, Rassoul has always been intended to treat and reveal the beauty of hair. Gathered in this innovative formula, Rassoul is responsible for absorbing impurities and giving strength and resistance to the hair, while the rose hydrates and soothes. ◊ Volume and tradition The volumizing cleansing paste with pure Rassoul and extracts...

Vade Retro jewelry: the temptation of the month

The era of skins simply dressed by a ray of sunshine has vanished in the frosts of autumn… No more question of playing at being beautiful naked: make way for fashion week, adornments, and jewellery. At last ! The favorite of our jewelry follies, Vade Retro, is in the 5th arrondissement, rue Mouffetard. A considerable asset in this highly couture season. The spirit: ◊ Caverne d'Ali Baba, in Parisian. When you enter this seemingly discreet boutique, the temptations multiply, you no longer know where to turn between the myriads of set stones and the sparkling reflections. Anthill of beautiful things that you can't find elsewhere, Vade Retro offers an ultra sharp selection that surprises as much as it seduces. It would be a waste of time to definitively categorize the genre of the store: the models are refreshingly eclectic. Why we love: ◊ For its taste of nowhere else. The pieces presented are the fruit of the work of Natalie Kal, the founder, who seeks perfection, charm, audacity, femininity or all at the same time... We meet...

The trend of restaurants at the forefront of decoration culminates, with the Polpo

For several years now, the capital has seen itself become the scene of the blossoming of a host of increasingly sophisticated restaurants, which obey very specific aesthetic codes where plants and Klein blue have their say. Some are drowning in the crowd, others come out on top with a certain brilliance. Of course, the meal has to follow… The menu La part belle is made up of seafood, in the spirit of healthy lightness that we love these days. Salmon tartare, sea bream ceviche, whelks, octopus salad, grilled razor clams and (of course!) butter-roasted lobster. A priori it will have its small effect. When you don't like the taste of iodine less, you fall back (there are worse, as a fallback) on prime rib or penne with truffles. Frank tastes, mastered cooking. The decor So, yes, it's very fashionable, but it's very successful. It must be said that the situation is rather idyllic: feet in the water, …

In autumn we dare to liberate through futility!

Autumn, according to astrology and common sense, is a period of return to the ground (the falling leaf), to oneself (the herbal tea, the hot water bottle): it is the ideal season to do an inner dive, sound out … then dare. Dare to be who we are, free from diktats and shackles, dare to do what we like, without fear of judgment or propriety. Since futility is not without a certain depth, here is a list of (easy) things to dare scrupulously. ◊ Any self-respecting revolution starts with the hair: we change color with the colorist of the stars, Christophe Robin (1) who will give us a blonde Catherine (Deneuve) or a brown Kristin (Scott Thomas). ◊ We assume our flamboyant femininity, we add: doe eye, sun skirt, done nails... and thousands of bracelets on the wrists that we find at Nilaï (2), the trendy-bohemian designer, to surround yourself with singing discreet jewels that clash. ◊ We don't feel guilty about taking care of ourselves, at...
