Many key exhibitions are scheduled in Paris around Christmas-time. One of Jamie’s favourites is the one dedicated to Jean-Michel Basquiat at the Musée d’Art moderne. From the Saint James Paris, it will only take you a pleasant walk through the chic streets of the 16th district to access it.
In spite of his too short career – less than 15 years, Jean-Michel Basquiat managed to produce many works of various influences and to define a violent and dark underground culture that is surprisingly full of freedom and vitality. This exhibition in which over a hundred of works have been put together is the largest ever dedicated to Basquiat. A must see!

He is intriguing, he looks impressive but most of all, he invents the most delightful dishes at the Saint James since 1998! Cyrille Robert, the Chef, answered jamie’s questions in the vegetable and herbs plot he created in the gardens of the Saint James. He was selecting herbs for the summer menu he had created on that very morning.

Within a few minutes walk from the Saint James, the Musée Guimet focuses on a quite unknown civilisation that flourished in Gandhara between the 1st and 6th centuries A.D. As a place of culture and exchanges located North-West of the actual Pakistan, Gandhara developed a culture based on various sources. Nourished by Greek influences after its conquest by Alexander the Great, this civilisation bloomed with Persian and Indian inspirations. The exhibition puts together 200 exceptional Greek-Buddhist works that testify of this world that found and created its own brilliant civilisation between the Roman world (West) and the Han Chinese world (East). To discover before August 16th.

Let the Lalannes surprise you! The musée des Arts décoratifs has organized a big retrospective dedicated to Claude et François-Xavier Lalanne, these sculptors who found their inspiration in nature and animals. Over 150 pieces from monumental sculpture to objects of the everyday are displayed in three spaces in a setting imagined by the architect Peter Marino in the nave of the Arts décoratifs. If Claude focused on electroplating and themed her work on nature, François-Xavier preferred hammering to picture animals. An exhibition to discover until July 4th. While you’re at it, stop for a drink on the terrace of “Le Saut du Loup” with a magnificent view on the Tuileries garden.
