Concierge suggestions April 23

April is starting, and with it, spring is coming...

As every month, find the suggestions and advice of our concierges to enhance your stay at La Maison Favart.‍

Restaurant of the month: Mondaine

Mondaine is an extraordinary experience, free of rules and conventions. A very private evening, straight out of the 70s, with an indefinable arty and sulphurous perfume. At Mondaine, gourmet food is also a transgression. The most noble products, from lobster to caviar, are shared, and luxury is enjoyed in a festive and regressive way. We also find the pleasure of simple and comforting dishes to share, executed to perfection: scallop carpaccio, caviar; beef filet, café de Paris sauce, beautiful sole meunière to share...

23, rue de Ponthieu 75008 Paris

Opera of the month: Maurice Béjart Ballet

L'Oiseau de Feu, created for the dancers of the Company, is an ode to youth on a powerful score by Stravinsky, which the choreographer has seized upon to extract its quintessence. Young "partisans" recharge their ardor and energy at the source of life represented by the Firebird. Written for two male dancers, Le Chant du compagnon errant is an intimate work based on a cycle of Mahler's lieder that reveals all the rigor and grace of Béjart's language. Finally, the mythical Bolero is set to Ravel's eponymous score. Surrounded by dancers, alone on a table, the main performer - male or female dancer - is transported by the bewitching rhythms in an erotic and hypnotic dance like a vibrant call to life.

Opéra Bastille, Place de la Bastille, 75012 Paris

Play of the month: I prefer that we stay together

Claudine and Valentin were friends and roommates before becoming a real couple in love, which was the big success of "I prefer to stay friends". But the years have passed and routine has set in. Claudine is faithful. Valentin goes to "see" elsewhere. She wants to leave. He prefers that they "stay together" ... Always between laughter, songs and emotions.

Théâtres des Variétés 7, Montmartre, 75002 Paris

Concert of the month: L'Orfeo Claudio Monteverdi

Leonardo García Alarcón brings his musicality and sense of drama to Monteverdi's L'Orfeo, considered the very first opera in the history of Western music. Although the score is well known, it finds new sounds thanks to the historical research of the Argentine conductor and his ensemble Cappella Mediterranea.

April 5 at La Seine Musicale, Ile Seguin, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt, France

Exhibition of the month: Matisse

A formative trip, a decisive turning point, and dozens of works created under the sun of French Polynesia. In 1930, Matisse left for an initiatory trip to Tahiti. An artistic epic told by the Musée de l'Orangerie, in a new exhibition to discover.

Orangery Museum Jardin des Tuilerie, 75001 Paris

Unusual activities of the month: The sewers of Paris

The sewers of Paris are the largest and most modern in the world, with a length of nearly 2,600 km. This labyrinth is used to collect and evacuate water coming mainly from rainfall as well as wastewater from the city of Paris. The entrance depends on the Museum of Sewers of Paris but the visit of the museum alone is not necessarily worth the detour if you do not also pass by the sewers.
