Les enfants perdus

In the Vingt I read about an interesting restaurant. The recently re-opened Les Enfants Perdus gives a very good indication of what most of us have known for a while – that the canal-side area north of République is moving up in the world, but this restaurant seems to offer something a little bit different from the norm.

Les Enfants Perdus is located just north of the canal on Rue de Récollets. It has three stylistically different areas – the bar/cafe, the restaurant and the conservatory – which provide a nice atmosphere that welcomes all, from students to professionals. With their lunchtime formule (15 euros) and plats (between 14-19 Euros), they are in competition with many of Paris’s mid-range brasseries, though in reality they are a fairly upmarket bistro/restaurant.

At Musée Rodin running until Febr 28, this exposition does confrontate two great artists from a different generation.

Its proposes a reflexion on the works of Matisse, the big master of Fauvism. Almost  his sculpture and some drawings will be confronted with works of Rodin.

The Musée Rodin is one of my favourites, specially the garden makes is very attractive.
