Add the authentic Italian menu, & you can't resist checking out this chic but relaxed restaurant & bar. Simple, fresh & genuine - family recipes from Naples & Capri ins

L’exposition "Jacques Prévert, Paris la belle" fait état du lien étroit entre Prévert et Paris, depuis sa petite enfance dans le quartier du jardin du Luxembourg jusqu’à son statut d’icône de Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Fondamentalement populaire et singulière, l’oeuvre de Jacques Prévert est à redécouvrir dans son intégralité. De sa jeunesse contestataire à son amitié avec Joan Miró, Alexander Calder ou Pablo Picasso, de son métier de scénariste à la complicité qu’il tisse avec de nombreux photographes, cette exposition, bâtie sur les archives personnelles du poète, révèle un homme dont l’esprit, plus de trente ans après sa disparition, reste d’une fraîcheur et d’une actualité sans conteste. ......entree libre Mairie de Paris,.......jusqu'au 25 fevrier
