The Broken Arm

In the style of Dover Street Market and feu Colette, here is a shop that has been working in the shadows for ten days for an audience of savvy fashionistas. Cornered by three members of the collective of young modern people, the Zepo spot in front of The square du Temple is filled with clothes (Jacquemus, last collabs Nike, Christophe Lemaire...), books (William Eggleston, Dan Flavin, Jeff Koons), music (rather of the last century), furniture and shoes handpicked, selected with taste and carefully arranged.

Certainly, the prices displayed on the labels may turn your head a little (or even make you want to run away to the nearest Guerrisol). But the selection, drastic, is perhaps what is best done in Paris ! We find the flagship of luxury ready-to-wear brands but also new designers. Waterproof 100% transparent and material so futuristic that we do not know the name yet, santiags Celine cohabiting with the track Balenciaga, silk shirt and XXL jogging ; all mixtures are allowed, such as a Benetton + + + of the garment. We love it !

And most importantly, nothing prevents you from passing the small glass door that leads to the amazing cafe next door. There, you can sit at one of the pretty wooden tables to enjoy an excellent coffee (straight out of a La Marzocco percolator), surrounded by green plants and flooded with light. If you spend in the morning or to taste it, do not resist the pastries (more than perfect cookie and royal blueberry cheesecake). The rest of the day ? You will only have to make your choice among the cold plates (between 7 and 16€), which change according to the inspiration of the day and the – very good-products of the season. Verdict ? Everything is fresh, inventive and terribly delicious.

Like this legendary Apulian burrata with truffle and green asparagus muslin, this velvety fennel with green apples and almonds or this tinsel sandwich with smoked salmon and dill cream. To make it all pass, do not stand still on the excellent lemonade Mixmi. The perfect place to combine shopping and food.
