Kara, Days of the creative jewellers
at the Bourse de Commerce until November 26th, 2007

Trailblazing French and international jewellers will be meeting the public at the 6th edition of Kara, the international jewellery fair of designers. Kara has been a springboard for new ideas, shapes and creative adventures since its inception. It has highlighted new directions, figurative themes, colours and stones in fashion, prompted enthusiasm for precious materials such as rose gold, opal, Tahitian pearls, bangles and jewellery for men…elements featured at the exhibition that influence the following seasons.

Its overriding goal is to promote budding talent and to put bold designers in touch with the people who can discern that authentic and creative touch, and who see what they wear as a statement about what makes them unique.

The next edition of Kara will take place from 23 to 26 November 2007 at the Bourse de Commerce – an amazing venue in more ways than one – and provide a unique opportunity to talk to designers spanning a plethora of creative styles to find out more about their handpicked pieces.
Kara, the international jewellery fair of designers has built a bridge between freshly unleashed, exquisitely unconventional talent and a discerning public – and provided a garden for this renewal to blossom.

Tasting is spitting!
Le Salon des Vins de Vignerons Indépendants a good adress from Pascale C.

Le Salon des Vins de Vignerons Independents will open from Thursday 22 to Monday, November 26, 2007 at La Porte de Versailles in Paris

For the fine connoisseur: taste and purchase wine directly from producers. The opportunity to talk with professionals who love their work.


For the others: a good opportunity to enjoy free drinks!


Tips from the regulars:
- Carry along a folding trolley : you often take immediately what you are buying
- Eat a little earlier on if you want to keep the pace.
- Avoid going there on Sunday: It's way too crowdy…
- When buying, be sure to be registered by the winemaker who will send you an invitation for next year show.

However, if you ever forgot the trolley or the snacks you find:

- Stands selling trolleys at all exits
- Food stands(foie gras and co…), which fill accomodate either small or large appetites. A glass is available at the gate of the salon.
- Stands selling local products and wine

Cheers, Pascale
Bon weekend!
