Laura and Sara's look - Le Marais Mood

the-look-of-sandra-and-laura-le-marais-mood-paris-1

We saw her from afar, Laura, with her long legs, her neon shorts and her blonde afro, Angela Davis style.

A fashion designer at Fête Impériale, an eco-responsible brand based in the Marais, she was hurrying to rue Vieille-du-Temple to return to the office after her lunch break.

For a photo, it seemed like we were talking to Donna Summer at the height of her fame, during the disco era.

Dressed all in white, his friend Sara, a philosophy student at the Sorbonne, came as a counterpoint to assert a “normcore” aesthetic.

This style of clothing which highlights normality as opposed to sophistication. The word is a contraction of the English words "normal" and "hard-core".

Please note, “dressed in white” does not necessarily mean “wise”. “I like to party, I party and I'm going to continue to party,” Sara told us with a smile when we asked her if the “remote” classes weren't affecting her morale. Funky too, the Sara!

YOU HAVE IT (STREET)LOOK COCO

David's look

The look of Ufo, Jeff and Juno

Le Marais is the district of encounters and chance. At the turn of a street, we come across beings with unique character and beauty. Here we are in front of Jeff, a DJ, model and graphic designer. Of Swiss, Congolese and Mauritian origin, he introduces himself: “I came to mix a cutting-edge English brand for Unknownuk…

NOW ON
THE MOOD MARSH

Divine brunch at the foot of Notre-Dame

Of course, officially, it is not the Marais. But at Son de la Terre, a barge recently moored at the Montebello quay (5th), the 4th arrondissement is in sight. Moreover, this one is incredible: on one side, it is Notre-Dame flooded with sunlight; on the other, the quays, the book sellers, the walkers, the joggers.

Saka, a cocktail bar like in Tokyo

Here is an address which gives the measure of the transformation of the Marais. And it's enough to silence the grumpy people whose mantra is: “It was better before…” No, everything was not better “before” in the Marais. Besides, there was no American bar like Saka, which cultivates a form of excellence that can only be found in Japan.

Jazz at 38Riv: The highlights of May

The only jazz club in the Marais, 38Riv is the temple of cool and swing. Rue de Rivoli, between Saint-Paul and Hôtel de Ville, its vaulted cellars are the home base of the new jazz scene. Every evening, the magic happens.
