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.

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).

A couple of sculptors: the Lalannes

Written by jamie, the 14 April in category Going out, 0 comment

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.

The concept of Time, contemporary exhibition at the Saint James

Written by jamie, the 09 February in category What’s up?, 0 comment

When arriving at the Saint James, you will be greeted by 2 large sculptures on each side of the garden. “Time Encounter” and “Space-Time” have been imagined by the Parisian sculptor Nathalie Decoster. In the lobby, you will discover “Time goes By”. Nathalie Decoster‘s main thoughts are about ”Human condition”, “The relationship between man and time”, “Ways of sharing ideas”, “Human fragility”, etc… Each of her sculptures presents her famous “messenger”, in which we can recognize ourselves and think about what Nathalie Decoster calls “the absurdity of our modem way of life”. A possible access to wisdom and serenity, for you to see at the Saint James. More info on www.nathaliedecoster.com

La Russie au Saint James!

Written by jamie, the 02 February in category Previously at the Saint James, 0 comment

Grand succès pour la soirée russe mercredi 13 janvier 2010 au Club Room! A l’occasion du Nouvel An Russe, près de 30 membres du Club et leurs invités avaient confirmé leur participation.La conférence fut animée par Monsieur Stéphane Philip, Directeur Adjoint de la CCI Franco Russe (CCIFR) à Moscou et Monsieur Ivan Prostakov, Chef de la Délégation Economique et Commerciale de la Fédération de Russie en France. Tous les sujets furent abordés, tels que les secteurs en fort développement, les différences culturelles, les concurrents, les modalités pour s’installer sur le marché russe, les conséquences de la crise économique… Ce fut l’occasion pour certains de nos membres d’approcher de manière personnalisée des personnes clés et appartenant à des organismes de référence comme la CCIFR.
Les discussions se sont poursuivies jusque tard au cours de cette soirée russe autour d’un cocktail de spécialités organisé en partenariat avec la Maison Petrossian : le saumon fut très apprécié, sans oublier le tarama aux grains de caviar avec un verre de vodka aux herbes aromatiques!
