MARAIS

I am on my 9th year chilling at the most exquisite pad-a-terre in the Marais.  Every year I am enlightened by the expansion of restaurants and boutiques.  There are so many to post and I am going to start by giving each find their own post.

For me, cafés in Paris have been more of a place to watch the city go by and not about the café.  Today, that has changed…there are so many amazing cafés today in Paris…one of the all time best cafe’s I have been impressed by is Fringe.  It is a specialty café founded by photographer, Jeff Hargrove,  that has the most amazing lamps designed by  Dutch designer Margie Teeuwen and Erwin Zwiers.  So love the book case with amazing art, travel and photography books plus the beautiful cameras on the top of the bookcase.  Jeff has published a book “Paris Coffee Revolution”…on my wish list of books I would love.  In addition, Fringe is featured in an article in Conde Nast Traveler as one of the top 22 coffee cafés in Paris.
