It’s a giant bowl (1,000 square meters) where you come and drink (from “must-have” porcelain bowls you’ll want to pop in the Berkin, see photo) vin chaud, chocolat chaud, something tasty by chef Yannick Papin. “It’s the place I dream of going to when I go to les puces ma puce”! says Starck. Chef Papin you’ll remember from here and here. Ma Cocotte is the Starckman’s “tribu-attitude” which comes with his signature conviviality.  In collaboration with Philippe and Fabienne Amzalek, of Bon, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss’s favourite watering hole in Passy.

Ma Cocotte looks set to become the meeting place for flea market aficionadoes, raw red brick, zinc, copper and bien sur flea market finds that you’ll want to take home. Starck, the genius French designer, now aged 63, recently told The Sunday Times that as soon as he wakes up, and daily after lunch, he makes love to his wife Jasmine (also CEO of his company). “It’s obligatory. It keeps the creative machine in working order, it’s pleasant and it’s a proof of our love!”.
