In the constellation of the Costes brothers empire are many restaurants and trendy hang outs, from the super glamorous Hotel Costes, rue Saint Honoré where you will always bump into a French or international celebrity giving an inteview or having lunch or dinner with friends, to Le Murat, in the XVIth arrondissement, the canteen of the adjacent gated community to the rich and famous of France; Celine Dion, billionaires and former Président Sarkozy and super model wife Carla Bruni live there.

Every year they open new bars and restaurants as last month opened Le Café Français, on place de la Bastille. Finally a stylish hang out on that side of Paris!

Better have one! There, the oak eye of the experienced fashion victims will decrypt  and anatomize the slightest little detail of your shoes, hand bag and outfit!
