City Takeover: Paris Guide

Paris is one of those cities where the best days are never really planned.

A coffee that turns into a long walk, an afternoon spent wandering through a gallery, a glass of wine that somehow becomes dinner. These are the places we always end up coming back to.

The Coffee Stop We Always Make

Paris mornings are best when there’s nowhere to be. Dreamin Man is where we’d start -with a coffee and something sweet before wandering through whichever neighbourhood the day takes us to.

With three locations across the city, it’s an easy stop whether you’re in Le Marais, near République or crossing through the centre.

Where We’d Spend the Afternoon

For a slower afternoon, we always come back to Bourse de Commerce - Pinault Collection.

Set inside one of the city’s most beautiful buildings, it’s the kind of gallery you can lose a few hours in. The exhibitions change often, but the feeling is always the same: calm, inspiring and quietly impressive.

Afterwards, wander through the streets around Les Halles or Palais Royal. The area is filled with bookshops, small galleries and cafés that make it easy to keep the afternoon going.

The Kind of Place That Turns Into Dinner

When evening comes around, Early June is the kind of place we always end up in. Natural wine, small plates and travelling chefs mean it’s never quite the same twice. We’d go for one glass and stay for the whole evening.

These are the places we come back to - the ones we save, send to friends, and return to whenever we’re in Paris.
