Restaurant News
How good it feels to be with friends around a good table, surrounded by music and life.
Whenever you go to a country, you should ask if there is any restaurant or bar or hotel done by the architects AvroKo.
All these places have in common : comfort.

Don’t we all aspire to have the best of wardrobes, filled with the most beautiful and highest quality dresses, and don’t we all want to impress our darling friends with being THE different one, the one who has found THE secret address while our darling girls have only ventured as far as Mango and Sandro with a sprinkle of Bel Air and Maje. So mean to say that… but so true ! N’est-ce-pas Ladies ?!
This pearl of luxurious day and night fashion wear is tucked in the heart of Saint Germain des Près, between Saint Sulpice and Odéon, on the lovely and dainty rue de Tournon.
Its name : JAYA CONCEPT.
Not just another Fashion boutique; SO MORE THAN THAT !
A luxurious couture concept created by the prolific Cambodian Designer Romida KETH, well known already in the Far East and now in Paris thanks to Nanda DEVI-NORODOM, no other than King of Cambodia’s NORODOM SIHANOUK’s grand daughter herself.
JAYA CONCEPT is a mix of royal fabrics with couture details, Feminity with Elegance, Colour with Sobriety, Sexy and Glamour.
Each jacket will give you that long and lean appearance as it is cut to perfection.
Day, cocktail and evening dresses in an amazing palette of colours, rich and vibrant.
What is so special about JAYA CONCEPT is that you can do bespoke orders choosing your own silk colour out of a mesmerising palette of about 60 different colour swatches ! You want longer sleeves, JAYA CONCEPT will do it for you. You want more of a plunging neckline, they will do it for you. Anything is possible and in very little time.
And to add the perfect touch, the ultimate clucth, coordinated to your outfit.
Open it up and be flabbergasted by the detailing so “Couture”; you wish you could keep it open for every one to see the inside of your bag !
And behind JAYA CONCEPT lies a noble and beautiful story … I won’t say more , I’ll let you discover for yourself at :

Charlotte for ever !
Charlotte PERRIAND is more than ever the ultimate pioneer of FRENCH DESIGN, along with Pierre Jeanneret and Le Corbusier.
Charlotte is that woman posing her back to us, short hair, wearing as sole clothing a pair of ski gloves, a pair of slacks and a pearl necklace, her arms held up in the sign of victory while gazing at the mountains beyond her : who the hell was she ? Such temper, such personnality!
Charlotte has invested the PETIT PALAIS with a good array of her photographs. She used to carry her camera wherever she went and used to take it out as she would a gun, a real cow boy ! A round shaped stone photographed on the shore would then become an oblong coffee table in a heavy wood. Her many photo albums would then become her inspiration boards fos shapes, textures and materials.
Her interest went to small objects she called “ de peu” , little “nothings” :” old dirty shoe soles,pieces of wood with holes in them, brushes beaten up by the waves and rolled on the rocks”. Charlotte PERRIAND granted her “ poetic clad objects” the title of work of art, once on black and white paper.
A few bones …
became what you see below !
Could you imagine even for a second that a fish or chicken bone would inspire her an armchair or a sofa ? She hated right angles, and her numerous trips to Japan led her to even more pure, simple and perfect lines.
