Arts & Culture
With its wooden corridors and outer patio, the experimental museum El Eco (the Echo) is a little gem designed by Mathias Goeritz, one of Mexico's top modernist architects, which hosts some exquisite art exhibitions and at the same time serves both as a gathering spot for interesting folk and a retreat from the busy city (it is very close to Insurgentes and Reforma Avenues).

Luis Barragán, one of Mexico's finest architects, renowned winner of the Pritzker prize, whose works have impacted deeply in the aesthetics of Mexican modern architecture from the 60's on, designed and lived in this property. A deeply spiritual man, he built a house that serves both as lodging and as spiritual retreat. The proportions of the spaces, the use of light and color, the coexistence of indoor and outdoor spaces are truly magical and worth experiencing first hand.

Essentials
An already large –and growing– French community called for an authentic French boulangerie - patisserie. This is the place to buy bread, croissants and any piece of French patisserie you wish. Also great for breakfast, though if you eat there prices are a wee-bit high.
