Where Boxing Meets Elegance

At Gentleman Jungle, we love places that turn routine into ritual. Temple | Noble Art is one of them: a sanctuary where boxing becomes an art, blending discipline, aesthetics, and a touch of typically Parisian elegance.

A Private Club Atmosphere in the Heart of Paris

Step inside Temple | Noble Art and you’ll forget you’re entering a gym. Dark wood paneling, refined leather, soft lighting ; the ambiance feels closer to a London private club than a traditional fitness center.

Tailor-Made Training

The Temple coaches go far beyond simple punching combinations. They design a complete program for each member:

  • Private or group sessions tailored to your schedule

  • Targeted physical preparation to boost performance

  • High-level technique, accessible to both beginners and advanced boxers

Each session is designed for you, like a bespoke suit.

A Community of Modern Gentlemen

Temple | Noble Art is more than a place to sweat – it’s a place to connect. Entrepreneurs, creatives, curious minds: people come here not only to train but to exchange ideas and get inspired.

Brioni: The Epitome of Italian Tailoring Since 1945

Editorial
08/09/2025

The Birth of a Style

From the beginning, Brioni distinguished itself with boldness. In a post-war world still marked by rigid, conservative cuts, the Roman house introduced suits with a softer, lighter construction, featuring natural shoulders and a silhouette designed to enhance the male physique. Brioni also dared to use colorful fabrics and refined patterns, standing apart from the era’s dominant greys.

The First Men’s Fashion Show

In 1952, Brioni made history by staging in Florence the world’s first fashion show dedicated exclusively to men’s clothing. This audacious move propelled the house onto the international stage and attracted an elite clientele of heads of state, Hollywood icons, aristocrats, and business magnates.

The Suit of Modern Gentlemen

Brioni’s success rests on the art of bespoke tailoring. Every piece is handcrafted by master tailors at the atelier in Penne, in the heart of Abruzzo, requiring over 200 individual steps to complete. The result: a second skin, meticulously adapted to the wearer’s physique and personality.

A Cinematic Aura

Brioni’s legend also unfolded on screen. In the 1990s and early 2000s, James Bond – portrayed by Pierce Brosnan and later Daniel Craig – wore Brioni suits. It was a natural fit: the brand’s blend of strength, elegance, and timeless modernity perfectly captured the essence of 007.

Brioni Today

The house has navigated shifting trends without compromise. Under the creative direction of Norbert Stumpfl, today’s collections preserve the spirit of traditional tailoring while adapting to the demands of a modern wardrobe: softer suits, fluid overcoats, and elevated casual pieces ; all united by the same pursuit of excellence, echoed in the effortless sophistication of Jude Law.

A Living Legacy

To wear Brioni is to embrace a lifestyle: that of the international gentleman, who values discretion, quality, and refinement over ostentation. An elegance that never needs to shout to be heard.

A stage that captivates

Housed in a former cinema, Atica reveals a futuristic and intimate atmosphere. The space, enveloped by a panoramic screen, projects striking imagery that evolves with the rhythm of the meal. Visuals, scents, textures and sounds converge to create an immersive world where dining becomes art.

A culinary narrative

At Atica, each dish tells a story. Structured like a series of acts, the menu draws inspiration from regional traditions and cultural savoir-faire.

Cuisine here becomes a universal language, blending discovery with refined emotion.

The vision behind the experience

Atica is the brainchild of Ramzi Saade, who has fused the creativity of contemporary gastronomy with the boldness of immersive staging. In collaboration with architect Chloé Leymarie, he has conceived a cocoon of avant-garde elegance where innovation never compromises refinement.

An address for aesthetes

Atica stands as a rare meeting point between culture, art and haute cuisine. It is a destination for connoisseurs who seek experiences beyond time, where beauty, storytelling and emotion intertwine.

Chinese Business Club: Where Influence Meets Excellence

Editorial
03/09/2025

A premier club with global resonance

Founded in 2012 by Harold Parisot, an ESSEC alumnus, the Chinese Business Club has grown into one of the most respected and influential networks in France. Often referred to as the No. 1 business club in the country, it gathers more than 130 corporate members and organizes around 15 exclusive events a year in Paris, from power lunches to private cocktails and conferences.

 

More than a simple network, the Club operates like a living address book: curated, confidential, and immediately effective. Its renewal rate is exceptional, close to 90% annually, proof that members see tangible value in staying connected to the circle.

French at its core, international in its spirit

Despite its name, today the Club is overwhelmingly 90% French in composition. Yet, the international dimension remains embedded in its DNA. Its ambition is to offer members not only access to Parisian decision-makers but also to open doors across borders, creating bridges between France, Europe, and the world.

The signature experience

Each event unfolds with a ritualized elegance:

  • 11:30 a.m. – Champagne cocktail networking, where first encounters are made.

  • 1:00 p.m. – Lunch, served in a prestigious Parisian venue such as the Four Seasons George V, Shangri-La, or Westin Vendôme.

  • 2:00–3:30 p.m. – Coffee networking, where conversations deepen and opportunities crystallize.

This rhythm, simple yet perfectly orchestrated, is the reason the Club has become a must-attend for CEOs, investors, entrepreneurs, and public figures alike.

Where leaders meet

The Club’s influence is reflected in the stature of its speakers. Over the years, its stage has welcomed:

  • Emmanuel Macron, before the presidency, in 2015.

  • Nicolas Sarkozy, former French president.

  • Alexandre Arnault, Executive Vice President at Tiffany & Co.
  • Patrick Pouyanné, CEO of TotalEnergies.

  • Tony Parker, NBA legend and entrepreneur.

  • Yannick Bolloré, Chairman and CEO of Havas, emblematic of media and corporate influence.

  • Prince Albert II of Monaco, Prince of Monaco.

  • Cyril Hanouna, television icon, in 2025.

From politics to business, sports, and culture, the diversity of voices reinforces the Club’s role as a true mirror of French influence.

Harold Parisot: the conductor of connections

At the center of this success is Harold Parisot, a man who built the Chinese Business Club from nothing but conviction and vision. With no preexisting network, he crafted a platform where proximity to decision-makers became accessible to those who understand how to use it.

Today, he insists on opening doors for startups, SMEs, and ambitious founders, offering them not only visibility but also access to investors, media, and decision-makers who can shape their trajectory.

Why it matters

What do you gain from joining?

  • Direct access to power: ministers, CEOs, investors, journalists — all in one room.

  • Prestige by association: being part of the Club enhances your brand image instantly.

  • Real connections, not digital noise: here, deals are sparked face-to-face, over champagne and conversation.

  • Inspiration: every guest of honor becomes a model of ambition and excellence.

Gentleman Jungle’s perspective

The Chinese Business Club is not just a network – it is a social accelerator. For leaders, entrepreneurs, and brands built on excellence, it offers a refined relational stage, where opportunity blends seamlessly with prestige.

Its success lies in its balance: rare but powerful gatherings, a ritualized structure that maximizes interactions, and a mythos cultivated through its golden guestbook of political, cultural, and business icons.

For Gentleman Jungle, this is more than a club ; it is an experience of influence, excellence, and effectiveness.

Gentleman Jungle’s advice for navigating the Club

  • Arrive early: the first 30 minutes are often the most decisive.

  • Target three key encounters: quality over quantity.

  • Have your business card ready: small details leave a lasting impression.

  • Know how to pitch your company: a clear and refined introduction opens doors.
  • Follow up elegantly: the day after, send a concise message and propose a concrete next step.

  • Think long term: influence here is not instant, but cumulative.

At the Chinese Business Club, influence flows with discretion. Opportunities emerge naturally, and prestige comes from presence rather than proclamation.
