Rediscovering En attendant Bojangles at the theater

En attendant Bojangles, a novel by Olivier Bourdeaut, tells the somewhat crazy love story of a rather extravagant mother and a charismatic father, seen through the amazed eyes of their son. They will love each other in a joyful chaos filled with dance, madness, and poetry. After a beautiful performance by Virginie Efira and Romain Duris on the big screen (2021), this touching love story is back on stage at the Théâtre de l’Œuvre, directed by Victoire Berger-Perrin.

We’re treating ourselves to a women’s sophrology workshop

Sophrology allows us to return to ourselves and our senses, through simple and gentle body movements. It’s a time we dedicate to ourselves, where we reconnect with our breath and sensory perceptions, to release accumulated tension and rebalance our energy. To explore this activity, La Marbrerie is hosting a sophrology workshop exclusively for women, led by sophrologist Magali Serres.

Let’s enjoy a luxury movie experience at the Royal Monceau 

This week, we decided to spice up our Sunday cinema session. So, we headed to the Royal Monceau and its Cinema Katara, which opens its doors to the public and offers exclusive screenings. Settle into XXL leather chairs designed by Philippe Starck, and enjoy a great film with a glass of champagne and chef pastries in hand. What's on the screen this Sunday? A gem from Sofia Coppola, Marie-Antoinette, starring the fabulous Kirsten Dunst!
