Treatments at the first organic spa in Paris, L’Appartement 217, are so intricate they seem like they might be answers to eternal youth. Proprietor Stéphane Jaulin studied the biology of epidermal rejuvenation, arriving at the perfect menu of revivifying regimens. He offers them in a Parisian apartment space designed under the watchful eye of a Feng Shui master.
Revered Dr. Hauschka’s treatments by Wala are only one of the spa’s many offerings. All reinvigorate the skin without applying aggressive exfoliating or deep epidermal therapies. Deep tissue massages use cold-pressed organic oils from Madagascar. Others use cryogenically compressed vegetable emulsions that encourage cellular regeneration and improved elasticity. The Iyashi Dome uses organic heat in a ceramic dome to encourage a detoxifying perspiration that burns 532 calories on average. L’appartament also offers a Fung Shui approved Aramis laser treatment which does not so much erase furrows but stimulates cells whose regeneration slows with human aging; the treatment is also effective for teenage and adult acne. A full with a spa day includes a spectrum of treatments, diet advice, and consultation physical therapist.

Montaigne Market in Paris blooms like a garden of fashion between the conservative, single-brand storefronts of Montaigne Avenue. As the first multi-marque in the city of lights, the store engineers a confluence of current and classic styles from Paris, London, California, and New York. The 4,000 square foot space encourages mixing and matching of designers in different price tiers, an increasingly popular strategy put...
Simple, effective and possibly life-saving idea, France's Eurovia is developing a thermosensitive road varnish that changes color to indicate freezing and dangerous conditions. Like a Hypercolor t-shirt, the road could turn pink (or any other indicative color) when surface temperature is below freezing and returning to neutral once it warms back up. Not only a boon to motorists, but it helps out the environment...

by Tacita Vero Just opened, the Everland Hotel sits like a jewel on the roof of that treasure chest, the contemporary art space Palais De Tokyo in Paris. First installed in 2002 at other locations including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Leipzig, the Hotel is reaching its most stunning and coveted placement in the City of Light, oddly on the top of the 1930s...
Nestled in a garden down a secret cobblestone path off Avenue Junot in Paris' Montmartre lies the impossibly charming five-room Hotel Particulier. CH had the privilege of staying there recently (courtesy of the hotel, which just opened its doors in June) and enjoyed the luxuriously appointed rooms and movie-perfect setting—the adjacent pétanque court being the cherry on top of the cake. With a well-curated...
