VALENTINE TEDO’S READS
Valentine Tedo, also known as “En Toutes Lettres” selected a series of summer books from the ICICLE Cultural Space bookstore. Located on the 3rd floor of our Paris store at 35 avenue George V, it gathers more than 500 publications from classic and contemporary authors, about the art of living, Chinese thought, and China in the 21st century.
“En Toutes Lettres” recommends three summer reads: Pavillon de femme by Pearl Buck, Cinq méditations sur la beauté by François Cheng, and Journal de nage by Chantal Thomas, which explore notions of freedom, beauty, and newfound harmony. A beckoning journey awaits, from the East to the West, available at the ICICLE bookstore.
HIGH SUMMER
For more comfort and lightness, embrace natural, lightweight and breathable fabrics such as silk, linen, or cotton. Particularly nice to wear, they are also highly absorbent and therefore keep you cool under hot temperatures. For the summer season, ICICLE plays with a wide range of light colours to enhance the unique properties of these fabrics.
ICICLE’s summer wardrobe is fresh, light, and comfortable. It is mindfully designed for hot summer days, whether in the city or while travelling. Flowing dresses, loose shirts and trousers, short tank tops and t-shirts – discover all the season’s essentials in a thoughtfully curated selection of staples for sunny days

LAURIANNE MELIERRE’S READS

Laurianne selected three books which are easy to read during the summer season. À bicyclette by Su Tong, Habiter en oiseau by Vinciane Despret and Randonnées aux sites sublimes by Yu Xae are invitations to connect with nature, drawing inspiration from traditional Chinese culture.

ANGÈLE METZGER’S READS
Actress and sculptor, art enthusiast, Angèle Metzger has discovered the ICICLE Cultural Space at 35 avenue George V, which also hosts an art gallery. Until the beginning of September, an exhibition is dedicated to the painter, sculptor and poet Michel Madore, whose work has been influenced by his numerous stays in China.
For her summer readings, Angèle selected three books that can be found at the Cultural Space: Cinq méditations sur la mort, autrement dit sur la vie by François Cheng, À la recherche de l’esprit by Gan Tao and the autobiography of Alejandro Jodorowsky entitled La danse de la réalité. Paradoxes, ancient beliefs, and psychomagic offer new ways to approach our world for a more harmonious life.
