Where to eat: At Crudo with Esquina Común

Since last week, Crudo has handed over the keys to its kitchen to Esquina Común. Ana Dolores and Carlos, freshly starred in Mexico, are joining forces with César Peláez for a four-handed menu full of sea spray and smoked chilli. A meeting between Ménilmontant and Mexico, with ceviches, blue corn tortillas, and seafood dishes that have made the place’s reputation.
It's on until 26 April, no reservation needed. Just come early, and let yourself be swept away.

To discover: One Half Paradise by Cam Lindfors

Between collapsing cliffs and fading memories, Cam Lindfors presents One Half Paradise, a 124-page photo book that tells the story of Isla Vista, a small Californian town where freedom flirts with oblivion. No nostalgia here, just a frank look at what doesn't last. Impromptu parties, night swims, rooftops warmed by the sun, and that feeling of time stretching out. Emmanuelle Czerwinski's casting gives the images the look of suspended memories, just before they vanish. From 24 to 27 April, Sheriff Galerie hosts the exhibition and official launch of the book. A moment suspended between intimacy and impermanence.

Where to have fun: At Le Cent Quatre with Ina and Focus

What if we stopped consuming music as background noise? For its 6th edition, FOCUS! by INA grm invites us to a much-needed reset: an entire weekend to listen — really listen. In space, in silence, in intensity. Thanks to its acousmonium (a multichannel sound wall), the GRM takes you on a journey through unclassifiable soundscapes, somewhere between science fiction and collective meditation.

Where to shop: At Demain Rétro

At Demain Rétro, vintage meets design without ever trying too hard. Between carefully sourced Pierre Cardin bags and 3D-printed vases, this Marais space offers a selection that navigates between heritage and modernity. You'll find Chanel ballerinas alongside sculptural candles, retro jewellery and edgy magazines. Everything is designed to create a wardrobe and interior in your image — not by following the rules, but not ignoring them either. Parisian, of course.
