PARIS GUIDE; INBETWEEN APPOINTMENTS

THE GREATEST PARIS GUIDE EVER

SHOPPING

Preclothed

Easily the greatest store in Paris. Their selection and curation of products and objects is insane. Beyond what's on the shop floor, they have an outrageous archive with 4,000+ pieces - archive Hermès, Hedi Slimane-era Dior Homme, Phoebe Philo Celine, Alaïa... everything your heart desires. Their eye for vintage and found objects is so good that The Row reached out to them, and they now curate for every The Row store. One day I'll come back with €5,000 in cash for the vintage Hermès goatskin M-65 jacket. Please, nobody beat me to it !

3 Rue Bonaparte, 75006 Paris

Christen

Gorgeous shoes - who wouldn't want a comfy, fur-lined leather slipper? Or a pair of sexy heels?

The genius behind Christen is Nina Christen. If you don't know her by name, you'll definitely know her designs. Some of Bottega Veneta's greatest hits, all the fun Loewe shoes, and now, alongside her own brand, she's the Director of Women's Footwear at Dior under Jonathan Anderson.

1 Rue de la Paix, 75002 Paris

Rubirosa's

Cute little shop. Excellent shirting, cashmere knits, soft loafers and PJs. Everything comes in fun, tasteful colours ! The store feels old-school - shirts stacked everywhere and shoes lining the walls like you're shopping for bowling shoes ! And that's meant as compliment !

37 Rue de Grenelle, 75007 Paris

MORE SHOPping

Stop by our friends at Dries Van Noten ! They have separate men's and women's stores, and they're right next to each other. Easy does it !

For all your antique needs ! Do yourself a favour and leave some room in your suitcase. You'll definitely find something you don't need, but can't live without !

Louise Carmen

For everyone who loves a good notebook and pretending they're about to start a very important journey ! Louise Carmen makes the most beautiful leather journals, travel books and little everyday objects. You can personalise them in-store, making it feel less like buying a notebook and bringing your very own object with you home.

Boutique 51, Galerie Vivienne, 75002 Paris
Boutique Passage du grand Cerf 75002 Paris

TO SEE

Bourse du commerce

Come for the art, stay because you can't stop looking up at the huge, gorgeous ceiling painting instead. Incredible architecture, great exhibitions, and plenty of opportunities to stand around looking thoughtful. Truly the perfect place to pretend you understand contemporary art, and post it on Instagram like me at least !

2 Rue de Viarmes, 75001 Paris

Villa la roche and Le Corbusier's Apartment-studio

Villa La Roche

Beautiful villa designed by Le Corbusier and his cousin, Pierre Jeanneret ! You'll leave wanting to paint your walls white, throw half your furniture away, and spend your next year's paycheck on sick vintage Le Corbusier pieces !

10 Sq. du Dr Blanche, 75016 Paris, Frankrig

Le Corbusier's Apartment-studio

The apartment where Le Corbusier actually lived and worked ! It somehow hits the sweet spot between incredibly minimal and full of personality. Packed with FUN design solutions !

24 Rue Nungesser et Coli, 75016 Paris

TO STAY

Hôtel Massé

Beautiful hotel in Pigalle. Beautifully furnished with great interior design choices throughout. Extra points for the lobby - it's a great place to get some work done ! If you're staying Tuesday-Saturday, stop by their own bar and restaurant, Trente, just across the street !

32 Bis Rue Victor Massé, 75009 Paris

L'hotel

This one's for everyone who likes NICE things ! We've never actually stayed here-only visited when Sophie Bille Brahe shows her collections in Paris. So maybe take this recommendation with a grain of salt... but why wouldn't you want to stay here? It's GORGEOUS !

13 Rue des Beaux Arts, 75006 Paris

TO EAT

Brasserie Lipp

Sofie Liv's FAVOURITE place to eat in Paris. An OG French brasserie - the steak au poivre is incredible if you LOVE pepper ! If you ask Rasmus, it's way too much. Sofie Liv thinks it's the perfect amount 😍. But the profiteroles? A favourite with everyone !

151 Bd Saint-Germain, 75006 Paris

Localino

GREAT italian spot. Amazing for both lunch and dinner !

10 Rue de l'Odéon, 75006 Paris

Sant Ambroeus

Another gorgeous italian spot. Also amazing for both lunch and dinner ! I'm biased on this one because the waiter complimented my vintage Tintin t-shirt. And because they had a cute dog !!

11 Rue Saint-Benoît, 75006 Paris

FOR A QUICK AND EASY LUNCH !

Chez Aline

Great place to get a classic jambon-beurre !

85 Rue de la Roquette, 75011 Paris

Most underrated boulangerie in Paris- please don't blow this spot up! Enjoy approximately 8,000 calories in their chocolate-almond croissant in the nearby park, and eat your pastries while watching people play ping-pong and do tai chi !

134 Rue de Turenne, 75003 Paris

Dreamin' Man

What, a Paris guide recommending Dreamin' Man???
