[...] weekend, HiP friend and jeweler Beatrice Knoch is participating in “Portes Ouvertes” in Montmartre. This is a great opportunity to stop by her atelier to see her unique jewelry and to meet the woman [...]
This is an amazing way to discover Paris and the wonderful neighborhood of Montmartre. Also, you get to see the apartments and lofts where the artists live and create. I highly recommend. One of my favorite spots is Beatrice Knock on 17 rue Andre Del Sartre in the 18th (Metro Anvers or Abbesses). She makes amazing jewelry (and speaks fluent English). You will find her on the program. I but most of my jewelry from her and always get lots of compliments. – Erica
