somewhere fun to head to at 2am, where
would you recommend they party till
dawn?
A little warm-up at Manko then an
exclusive evening at Raspoutine.
As the fashion capital, which areas do you
think showcase the best fashions?
As a Parisian, I prefer the Saint-Germain
area and Le Bon Marché to find stylish and
unique pieces.
For a couple in love where would you

dinner?
The new restaurant Camondo on its terrace

drink at Les Ambassadeurs bar.
