La Lune
“Ground Control to Major Tom..” it’s time to take off on an artistic adventure which will take you through dimensions both real and imaginary — hosted in the exquisite architectural sanctuary of Paris’ Grand Palais.
An ode to the 50-year anniversary of the first human step on the Moon, this five-part exhibition is a beautiful, curated journey and vibrant celebration of the long history that links humans with this familiar celestial body, through the artworks and objects that embody the countless visions and emotions it has inspired.
Each stage takes visitors on a voyage through time, revealing artistic creations from Antiquity to the modern day, produced mainly in Europe but also by African, Arab and Far Eastern civilisations.

Whether it’s the Grand Bistro, Bar à Huîtres, or the string of trattorias he’s known for; such as The Little Italy, The Brooklyn Pizzeria and Manhattan Terrazza; one thing is for sure — restaurateur Garry Dorr knows his stuff — and with his latest outpost ‘Madison Caffe’, he’s done it again and is onto a winner.
Sweet-tooth, pastry (and bread-eating) people — rejoice. After weeks of teasing on Instagram, Cédric Grolet — rising culinary star & executive pastry chef at the French five-star hotel, Le Meurice — has (finally) announced the opening date of his very first bakery, in Paris.
