Located in the new wing of the Palais de Tokyo, perched on the quays of the Seine just across from the Eiffel Tower, Monsieur Bleu caters equally well for sociable suppers, business lunches, family meals, artist meetings, or indeed lively late-nights.

Karl Lagerfeld took photos of his Parisian apartment which is probably one of the most futuristic spaces I have come across. At first I thought it was a series of 3D images. I love the way Legerfeld thinks, but this time I felt the design was too cold to live in.
