Do you remember Madonna with the cone shaped bustier?

Well thank our fave French designer Jean Paul Gaultier who is now showcasing his interior design talent by reviving Jacques Carlu's penthouse apartment, Carlu was the architect of the Palais Chaillot.
With his design stint with Hermès over, JPG was chosen to decora...te the Elle suite at the cité de architecture. You can expect to see the corset dress of a fairground doll transformed into the bed's giant quilt, while lingerie and fishnets adorn the carpeting and window panes. Gaultier has invited nature indoors with ivy weaving through the sofas and moss covering everything like a coat of green velvet.

Okay it’s frozen food but forget the TV dinners of a bygone era.

Those of you blessed or smart enough to forgo a Paris hotel and book a Paris vacation rental hopefully a Paris Luxe apartment should know about Picard. This is first rate gourmet food that you will adore. In a blind taste test Picard’s goodies will rival a Paris restaurant. Stores are scattered all over the Paris. It is a bit weird to only see rows of freezer cases but once you've sampled, voila.. ain't no turnin back.
