CENT-QUATRE








The vivid cultural center of our area: the Centquatre. A place where everyone is challenged to discover and play like a little kid, where you can buy a pizza from the back of a truck, where people prefer to stand upside down and where chandeliers are made of - yes - hygienic tampons.

Also: there is a hidden labyrinth, a hidden café, a classical orchestra and a van to exchange your old books for new ones. Sometimes the visitors dance the tango, sometimes hip hop, sometimes they just dance. On sundays there is a free taï-chi group and a biological market.

HIDDEN OASIS

There are two adresses of nice cafés that I would want to share with anyone who visits Paris.

The first one is right next to the Sacré Coeur, but outside the usual tourist traject. Next to a café it is also a Wifi center, vintage store and collector's paradise. They sell things variating from second-hand lifesize Pink Panter dolls to old postcards to home-made biologic chocolate chip cookies.
One of the owners has Dutch roots, which explains the amount of old Dutch tin boxes, arranged by color.

Hidden in my favourite Passage is a heaven of chocolates and pies. There are always a lot of people in this little salon de thé but not a lot know about the second floor, where you can sit easily to enjoy one of the delights with a nice coffee. The prices are high but accurate for the quality and service that you get. Last time I tried a cake with a blueberry on the bottom and a filling with orange rasp, cinnamon, almonds and walnuts packed in a crusty dough. Yummy!

PREPARING THE PROWL

These are some shots of how we prepared our temporary exposition "le vol", which means either the flight (of a bird) or the prowl. It is entirely created of found stuff. In some sort of way you could see it as a recycling project, but we're just doing it for the fun.
