thanks to the efforts of french interior designer michael malapert, a bit of mexico has made its way to france. ‘mère pouchet’ is a cocktail bar in paris that borrows heavily from central american culture to provide a friendly eating atmosphere during the day, and an ‘evil cocktail machine’ in the evening. a place with strong personality, the interior’s lights and sounds react to customers in real time — but then again, that might just be the alcohol.
