ISP has acquired a third campus, at 45 rue Cortambert in the 16th arrondissement. The purchase will allow us to make great strides toward incorporating research, inquiry and innovation into our learning – a pillar of our new Strategic Plan. It will also enhance the student experience by allowing us to add a media center, art and music studios, performance and assembly spaces, and a cafeteria. After significant renovation, our goal is to have the buildings ready to welcome students in September 2018.

  • PARIS Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide
    PARIS Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Paris | 2019 0 Regarded as the fashion capital of the world, Paris is the retail, administrative and economic capital of France, accounting for near 20% of the French population and 30% of national GDP. Paris is one of the top global cities for tourists, offering many cultural pursuits for visitors. One of Paris’s main growth factors is new luxury hotel openings or re-openings and visitors from new developing countries, which are fuelling the luxury sector. This is shown by certain significant openings and department stores moving up-market. Other recent movements have accentuated the shift upmarket of areas in the Right Bank around Rue Saint-Honoré (40% of openings in 2018), rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, and Place Vendôme after the reopening of Louis Vuitton’s flagship in 2017. The Golden Triangle is back on the luxury market with some recent and upcoming openings on the Champs-Elysées and Avenue Montaigne. The accessible-luxury market segment is reaching maturity, and the largest French proponents have expanded abroad to find new growth markets. Other retailers such as Claudie Pierlot and The Kooples have grown opportunistically by consolidating their positions in Paris. Sustained demand from international retailers also reflects the current size of leading mass-market retailers including Primark, Uniqlo, Zara brands or H&M. In the food and beverage sector, a few high-end specialised retailers have enlivened markets in Paris, since Lafayette Gourmet has reopened on boulevard Haussmann, La Grande Épicerie in rue de Passy replacing Franck & Fils department store, and more recently the new concept Eataly in Le Marais.

  • Balzac, Un Toit Pour L'éternité. De La Cabane De Passy À La Cathédrale
    Balzac, un toit pour l’éternité. De la Cabane de Passy à la Cathédrale littéraire, la fête continue Félix César GUTIÉRREZ VIÑAYO Universidad de León Real, E.; Jiménez, D.; Pujante, D. y Cortijo, A. (eds.), Écrire, traduire et représenter la fête, Universitat de València, 2001, pp. 209-220, I.S.B.N.: 84-370-5141-X. La demeure qui fait l’objet de cet exposé est celle que : « le temps et la célé- brité de leur ancien propriétaire a figée dans l’état où il l’a laissée ».1 La demeure dont nous allons parler aujourd’hui est : « un lieu privilégié, car elle a été choisie par un être au destin singulier ».2 Cette demeure conserve la sensibilité de l’homme de lettres qui y a vécu : Les demeures des grands hommes conservent, longtemps après que ceux-ci les ont quittées, une atmosphère spéciale. De même que, dans une église, fût-on in- croyant, on éprouve une impression de recueillement apaisé, de même les en- droits où une personnalité puissante a aimé, souffert, lutté intensément, semblent garder quel’émanation de l’être qui, là, s’est projeté avec vigueur hors de lui- même.3 Nous n’irons, cependant pas, jusqu’à l’extrême de l’exemple suivant : Un homme avait vécu paralysé sans quitter, durant trente ans, la chambre d’un antique château où, quinze heures sur vingt-quatre, il occupait un fauteuil, tou- jours le même, placé dans l’embrasure d’une fenêtre. La mort l’y prit. Pour con- server le souvenir de ce lieu de souffrance, un ami voulut en faire la photogra- phie.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, PRINTER-PLENIP'OTENTIARY By RICHARD CARY I N these days of shaken relations between the United States and France-almost unbelievable in the light of our long, uninterrupted history of political and cultural affinity-it glad­ dens the heart to come across evidences of a once adamantine reciprocity of faith. Such an iota is the promissory note for 800,000 livres tendered to the Tresor de Sa Majeste by Ben­ jamin Franklin in the name of a threadbare Congress during the grim years of the American Revolutionary War. What makes this document1 doubly extraordinary is that Franklin not only filled in some thirty words in his own hand and signed it twice but also, printed the official form in his ministerial home at Passy, France.

  • Inaugurations No. 73 PARIS N E W S // SEPTEMBER 2012
    Inaugurations No. 73 PARIS N E W S // SEPTEMBER 2012 There are lots of Inaugurations to keep up with in Paris in September: the Louvre opens its new Islamic Art Department to great fanfare and three hotels reopen after a full makeover. Tour guide specialists have come up with brand new tours: visits to workshops, boutiques, auction houses. And then there is a cashmere boutique and a concept restaurant … Have a good rentrée! Culture // Event at the Louvre: opening of the museum’s 8th department Twenty years after the huge pyramid project, the Louvre today sees the result of a ten-year project, which show- cases the Islamic Arts. Architects Mario Bellini and Rudy Ricciotti have created 2,800 m2 of exhibition area in the Cour Visconti; this architectural masterpiece involved excavating to a depth of 12 metres within the heart of the historic palace of the royal kingdom of France, which dates back to the 12th century. Eight centuries later, a glass roof seems to float above one of the palace’s most ornate courtyards: this ‘dragonfly’s wing’ with its changing reflections of light is a remarkable technical feat of glass panels and metallic glass sheets composed of 2,350 triangles with a gold coloured effect that rest on a structure of eight fine pillars. The interior space is a light and airy exhibition space. Some 3,000 objects are presented to the public in this area specifically designed for them: wall of Ottoman tiles, Egyptian porch, carpets, boxes, carafes, paintings, ceramics, etc. The display of the collections by Renaud Piérard, closely linked to the architecture around it, forms a loop that presents the evolution of these Islamic Arts from the year 632 to 1800, in four large fluid parts.
