Yann Couvreur sugars vanilla, not strawberries
The first to have celebrated the 50th anniversary of the sugar manufacturer Beghin-Say? It was the pastry chef Yann Couvreur who challenged himself to concoct first a birthday cake for them (sublime, with praline and vanilla, his two favorite flavors), then another pastry with a mystery ingredient ( the hazelnut), while a third challenge is in preparation.
And you in all this? You can also participate in the 50 culinary challenges (make a grandmother’s cake, a cocktail, a jam, etc.) offered all year round on the brand’s Instagram account and win, here a stay at Disneyland Paris for whoever has built the best sugar pyramid, there a Thermomix, the ultimate reward, offered by lot to the most assiduous Instagrammers.

Chagall, Calder and Dubuffet embark at Roissy
If you have planned a holiday departure from Roissy Charles-de-Gaulle airport, a piece of advice: do not hesitate to arrive in advance to discover a free exhibition of works from the prestigious collection of the Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Masterpieces by Miro, Giacometti and Chagall are exhibited in the new and luxurious departure lounge in terminal 1 of the airport. This exhibition would almost make you want to be stuck at the airport because of the strikes (we said almost).
The Tribute to the Maeght Foundation exhibition is accessible and free to all travelers with a boarding pass from Terminal 2E, hall M until September 15
Sunglasses on the beach in Capri (or almost)
Throughout the summer, the ground floor of the Bon Marché welcomes a straw hut like on a beach on the Italian Riviera occupied by the eyewear brand Jimmy Fairly. The favorite French brand for people who want to protect their eyes in style is home to an ice cream parlor and a few outcasts in this pop-up store. In addition to finding a selection of glasses, two personalization workshops are offered: chains of glasses to compose yourself and a selection of colored glasses to pimp up your look.
Pop-up La Spaggia, until August 18 at Bon Marché in Paris
