Dinner at the Talma, the restaurant at La Belle Juliette
Food - tips for "Gastronauts" by JasonW, Our favourite things
After numerous requests from guests, and comforted by the success of our brunch, the staff of the Talma decided to extend service to include evening meals.
Since the restaurant opened, the chef has always used only the freshest produce, and we’re proud that everything is made on-site, including all the savoury and sweet sauces (whereas many restaurant use preparations made by others). It’s exactly for this reason that the menu for the Talma has a reduced list of dishes.
Our specially-chosen suppliers are also a guarantee of the quality of the products we use. Qualitalia, for example, is a family business with numerous delicious products on offer. Their Buffalo mozzarella is absolutely delicious, made in the traditional fashion using buffalo milk (yes, buffalo milk), making it super creamy…

Paris Manga and Sci-Fi Show
4th & 5th February 2012 at the Porte de Versailles
If you thought Paris was just a sleepy city of beautiful architecture and dusty museums, you’re in for a shock. This bi-annual event is a mecca for cosplay fans, and your chance to meet Dave Prowse (the actor in the Darth Vador suit), sing some crazy karaoke, get your favourite manga signed by the author and generally have a pretty crazy day!

A Parisian experience, Our favourite things, Photography
Fifty venerable organisations – libraries, archives, museums – have got together to form ‘the commons‘, an rights-free image bank packed full of interesting stuff.

Francesco Vezzoli and Prada open a museum in Paris for just 24 hours on 24th-25th January 2012
Art and Culture, Our favourite things
In the Palais d’Iéna, usually closed to the public, eccentric (genius?) Italian artist Francesco Vezzoli is collaborating with Prada and Remi Koolhaas to create a hyped-up event – an ephemeral museum that will only be open for 24 hours, in a city where many of the museums have been in place for hundreds of years…

Our reception staff get together for a concert
and afternoon tea at La Belle Juliette!
To celebrate the new year, we managed to get the entire reception staff from all our hotels together (no mean feat) for a celebration at La Belle Juliette.
Their special treat? A mini harp concert with Claire Galo-Place, some virtuose piano from Eric Ferrand-N’Kaoua, some delicious grub to follow up and a glass of champagne, our way of saying thanks for all their hard work during the year…

Next harp and flute concert at La Belle Juliette –
A Mediterranean voyage Sunday 22nd January 2012
Art and Culture, Our favourite things
For this first rendezvous of the year, we offer you a concert-voyage, a landscape-concert… We’ll be crossing the seas with works by sailor-composers such as Jean Cras and Rimsky-Korsakov, as well as maritime works such as “En bateau” by Debussy.
The music will transport us to Mediterranean shores: Spain as celebrated by French composers, Italy and its famous operas, Greece with a mythological tale revisited by Glück, and – naturally – a French melody by Fauré to finish our voyage.
Seats: 18 euros, with a free glass of champagne after the concert.
