It was a very special week, exactly 12 years ago. We spent a lovely week with family and close friends, enjoying good food & wine, the beautiful Massif des Maures and each others company. At the end of the week, right after the Bastille Day festivities, we were married. We rented a remote farm in Read article…

Happy Bastille Day!
Some urban colors
Some urban colors to pimp up this grey & cold friday. Above: a two-headed fish in the making near the Canal Saint Martin, Paris. Some poetry in Beauvais (Oise, France) by Ray Charles: Je suis aveugle mais construire plus malheureux que soi… j'aurai pu être noir. Aloha my name is… lots of stickers outside Album Read article…
Styloise: Rose
Last week my stepdaughter Rose kindly accepted to model for this week's Styloise. She studies Marketing & Communication in Amsterdam and stayed with us in Nogent sur Oise. Her favorite spot besides Studio Sapique is the Fôret d'Halatte where she likes to go for a walk (with us haha). Her favorite resto is Chez Watashi Read article…
Vintage Sapique 8
The former laboratory of Studio Sapique is bigger than a regular Parisian apartment. More than 90sqm for which we haven't found a purpose yet. It could become an art gallery, a pop-up restaurant, a conference room, a stand alone apartment we could rent out, a ballroom, an indoor campsite. Anything really. For the moment it Read article…
Back to… Iceland part 3
Previously: part 1 and part 2. After our adventures in Reykjavík, Vestmannaeyjar, Skaftafell and Jökulsárlón, we are now in Akureyri, a small town in the North East of Iceland. Upon arrival by bus we immediately decide to find a rental car. It would be so much easier to explore this area by car. We find Read article…
La Pharmacie
If you've ever been in France, you've seen a pharmacy, for sure. They are everywhere and their green neon cross signs light up most of the streets. There's even a law requiring to have one pharmacy open on sundays & holidays per neighbourhood. The French tend to visit their pharmacy ever so often because their Read article…
Weekend tip: Le Bourget
You've climbed the Eiffel tower, visited le Palais de Tokyo, shopped at Merci, ate dozens of LaDurée (or Pierre Hermé) macarons and you just love Paris. But you like to do something else for a change? One of my favorite museums is "La Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace" at Le Bourget, just outside Paris. Read article…
Styloise: Adélaïde
Adélaïde was the only woman in Beauvais wearing high heels on a very hot day. She's a creative seamstress from Beauvais and sells cute vintage inspired baby & kids apparel in her webshop. She also has a blog called Made in Moi. When she's not creating new designs for Made in Moi, she likes to Read article…
Vintage Sapique 7
Studio Sapique used to be a factory where chemicals were treated. Even in the 60s this meant safety regulations. In the laboratory they had a required chemical shower in case anything went wrong (you can see the red shower head in the Billy on the right). There was also a big blue fire sand bucket Read article…
