Paris Picks

Best Exhibition
World Press Photo 2008
18 Rue de la Verrerie
Hidden in a pittoresque courtyard we stumbled upon this très excitante exhibition. The pictures were amazing. The works very conflictive. And the ambience very appealing.

Best Food
Plaisirs et Pains
215 Rue Saint-Honoré

Maybe this was the very highlight of the whole trip: the pain au sésame avec poulet rôti et légumes citron - orgasms for your tongue!

Best Second Hand I
Free'p Star
8 Rue Sainte Croix de la Bretonnerie

The tiniest and most crowded place I've ever been too. But it's worth the claustrophobic attacks: great clothes for very very good prices. A shirt for 3 Euro! A pair of jeans for 10 Euro! Thanks to Kat Walks, Play and Laurent for the hint!

Best Second Hand II
Kiliwatch
64 Rue Tiquetonne

A great selection of books and magazines. Vintage tote bags with German advertisement prints. And: short shorts for men!!! Come and get your pair...
(And please check out their wonderful website...)

Best Architecture
Centre Pompidou
Place Georges Pompidou

As I mentioned not long ago I am in love with tubes. So Centre Pompidou has to be my winner in this category. The design shop inside isn't bad too and also the people sitting outside at the entrance area are worth a closer look.

Best Souvenir
Saucisse Sèche aux Noisettes
Available at Franprix

To remain true to myself I decided to bring along a very Horst-like souvenir: a sausage! Or to be more precise: a salami with hazelnuts. Yummy!

Finally, fashion-addicts get what they need here (all Horst-certificated):
Acne Jeans 124 Galerie Valois
A.P.C. 112 Rue Vieille du Temple
Kitsuné 52 Rue de Richelieu
Pierre Hardy 15 Rue Valois
Agnès B. 3 Rue Jour
colette 213 Rue Saint-Honoré
Kabuki Homme 21 Rue Etienne Marcel

Au revoir!

kiliwatch is wayyy overpriced. overpricing vintage is so pretentious.
