The around 100 artists of the alternative and self-determined artist collective "La Générale", who in 2005 opened a building belonging to the Ministry of Education in the Parisian Quartier Belleville (19. Arrdt.), but had to leave this after a court order, have found a new domicile in the former ceramic school in Sèvres and continue their diverse artistic and social activities there (visual arts, theater, film, multimedia, design, etc.). In addition to collective workshops, they also operate a social "laboratory" and a canteen and provide rooms for exhibitions. One of the basic principles of the collective is the exchange with domestic and foreign like-minded people and their reception. The active one independent Meeting place is a rare pearl in the French cultural landscape, which is dominated by official authorities. And worth a visit.last change: not specified

kitchen

As in the other departments of the Île-de-France In the Hauts-de-Seine, too, the then flourishing cultivation of wine, fruit and vegetables has been displaced by urbanization, so that the local cuisine has almost no specific dishes to offer besides the traditional dishes.

• Clacquesin liquor distillery, in Malakoff (18 avenue du Maréchal Leclerc, metro station Porte d'Orléans and two bus stops with line 194 or 295. Tel.: 33 (0)1 46555555. The liqueur distillery is a family business founded in 1775 by the pharmacist Paul Clacquesin in rue Quincampoix in Paris and later in rue du Dragon, which relocated its factory to Malakoff in 1900. The old brick distillery with its copper vessels is not only standing as it has ever been, it is also a listed building and sells the herbal liqueur that the crowd of the Golden 20s swore by and which stars like Maurice Chevalier, Josephine Baker and Fernandel praised beyond measure. The aromatic brew, a kind of stone pine liqueur for which pine buds plants and herbs such as juniper, orange blossom, lemongrass, cinnamon and cloves are used, is enjoyed in various ways: pure or as a long drink, mixed cold with beer or milk, or hot Grog. It is worth trying to ask about it in the restaurants in the area or to arrange a tasting on site: the buildings of the distillery can be viewed by prior arrangement and even rented for parties by appointment.last change: not specified
