Parisian by birth and by love, Natacha Birds took leave from the city’s lively streets and Haussmanian boulevards to dive into the colors of Barcelona. A freelance illustrator, she sifts through Spanish life with her two small children and her husband. And yet, she hasn’t forgotten Paris, where she often returns. Four days here and there: just enough to gather together some new favorite places. We’ll leave you here so that you can take full advantage.
  • Stoney Clove Bakery

    Snack Like an American
    In Paris, we can go from one bakery to another without walking more than four minutes and it’s certainly not Natacha who’s going to deny herself the pleasure of eating her afternoon snack with her hands. When she’s here, it’s open cake season at Stoney Clove Bakery, an American bakery that boasts an impressive amount of cream cheese. Natacha’s favorite bakery addiction is taking the streets by storm: we see its cakes everywhere! Have you?

  • Galerie Vivienne

    Magic Gallery
    This is where Natacha’s grandmother took her when she little: with her height at about that of three stacked macarons and her face plastered to its windows, she marveled at the confectioners, the artisans, the etchings...even today, the Galerie Vivienne has the same effect on her. And you only have to raise your smartphone towards the ceiling to realize it. Do you see anything?

  • Café de l’homme

    The Loveliest of Sunsets
    Too often, terraces are so touristy that we tend to leave them for the tourists, which is too bad, because Cafe de l’Homme’s terrace provides a view as unique as the Iron Lady herself. Like Natacha, find a place at the end of the day, right when the sun is slipping away. And if you’re lucky, you might even get a rainbow to appear, with just a snap of your fingers. Almost.

    If you can, this is a must-see at the end of the day, at sunset time! You must first hurry to the square “Parvis des Droits de l'Homme” before the tourists arrive and the sun is just beginning to set! The view of the Eiffel Tower from this square is magnificent but it’s really from the Café de l'Homme that you’ll see it in its best light! Get a drink and ask to be sat on the terrace to admire it all!

  • Librairie Mazarine

    Hogwarts Express
    The magic of Beauty and the Beast + the atmosphere of Hogwarts + Parisian chic + the mysteries of France’s history = the Mazarine bookstore. There are books all the way to the ceiling, ladders leaning against majestic shelves and tables…Here, Natacha Birds strolls between ancient books and small green lamps. Her secret? Go there right when it opens in the morning. That’s when the light is at its most beautiful.

  • Sunset Sunside Jazz Bar

    A New Orleans Kind of Evening
    It’s not the biggest concert venue, nor the most beautiful. It’s not the most prestigious or the most legendary. And yet, Natacha Birds always returns here: that’s the real magic of Sunset Sunside. With your knees on the chair of the person in front of you, a glass in hand, and an homage to Sinatra in your ears...Paris is already far away and New Orleans is just within reach of the music.

  • La droguerie

    Les marchandes de couleurs
    Paris, 1975. The Doisneau covered market has only just escaped Rungis. Next to the construction site, two sisters are setting up their first store. Ever since then, the Marchandes de Couleurs has only grown as has its shop. Natacha goes to find inspiration for materials: balls of wool, pencils in every color, paper that slips between your fingers, paper that scratches a little...A real treat.

  • Junku Japanese Bookstore

    The Bookstore at the End of the World
    いらっしゃいませ (pronounced : irasshaimase)
    This means “welcome” in Japanese and they’ll be sure to say it to you when you pass through the little door of the Junku bookstore. Respond with ありがとうございました (pronounced : arigatōgozaimashita), which means “thank you”. Natacha doesn’t necessarily speak perfect Japanese but she comes to look at the pictures. Literally speaking: different styles of script, manga drawings, the stroke of a pencil everywhere you look. It’s another world here.

  • Three Seven

    The Secret Workshop
    Rough around the edges, a bit quirky, but always ragingly sexy: it’s in this hidden showroom that you’ll find the most beautiful plates in all of Paris. This is where Caroline, the creator of Three Seven, works miracles with her talent and her paintbrush. If you’d like to witness the magic, call her ahead of time and take a stroll among the ceramic dishes and an assortment of objects collected over the course of her travels…
