Armenians in Paris

This week marks the 96th anniversary of the 1915 Genocide in Armenia by Turks and on this occasion I wanted to honor Armenians and their great work in Paris. I always knew they were very successful people in many fields particularly that of  Jewelry but in Paris I discovered they are thriving in other areas as well. Among those are a few notable artisans worth  mentioning.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian : Perfumer (available at Le bon Marché)

Alain Manoukian : Fashion (retailer of  womens ready to wear Manoukian brand)

Petrossian - Gourmet food (with locations in NY and LA too ! )
