What to do in Paris this weekend (April 25-27)
Looking for a Parisian weekend of discovery and style? Between a sensory interlude at Aesop, a gustatory detour signed Ladurée x Patou, a sunny lunch at Rosé, the 15th arrondissement’s best-kept Mediterranean address, and four unmissable fashion exhibitions, Paris is brimming with ideas to explore without leaving the ring road. Here are our must-sees this weekend.
Where to find the South on the plate and in the glass?
Rosé, this hidden restaurant in the 15th arrondissement takes you to the Mediterranean (without the TGV)
t Rosé, the spirit of the South is invited in without overdoing it (no more false cicada songs). Located on the first floor of the Novotel Paris Porte de Versailles, the place is inspired by Provençal family homes, those simple, warm interiors where people like to linger. Light, natural materials, soft colors, everything here evokes a southern art of living, soothing but always elegant. Rattan, ceramics and light-colored wood have all been chosen to create a soft, friendly yet resolutely contemporary atmosphere. Read more.
Where to take a sweet fashion break?
This Ladurée x Patou box set is already causing a stir at Galeries Lafayette.
A sweet couture collaboration that intrigues as much as it seduces. Ladurée and Patou combine their worlds in a box of macaroons as aesthetic as they are delicious, unveiled exclusively in Paris. Ladurée, the Parisian pastry icon, and Patou, the fashion house reinvented by Guillaume Henry, sign a refined collaboration. The result? A pink box adorned with the initials of Jean Patou, the brand’s visionary founder, containing twelve macaroons in floral flavors: rose, orange blossom and milk flower. Read more.
Where to indulge in a moment of ultra-chic relaxation?
Aesop unveils its confidential treatment cabin in Paris
Subdued lighting, carefully selected background music, gestures that awaken as much as they soothe: Aesop redefines facial care as an art of living. And Paris now has its own wellness capsule, nestled in the heart of the Marais district. While the Australian brand Aesop is already well established in France through its designer boutiques, only one treatment cabin exists in France, and it’s at 133 rue Vieille du Temple. A confidential location in the heart of the 3ᵉ arrondissement, designed as a sensory extension of the Aesop universe. Read more.
