Let yourself be guided into a delightful interlude filled with haute couture shopping, secret addresses, girly tea time, and blissful relaxation. Paris exactly as you love it: chic and intimate.
HAUTE COUTURE MORNING
in the Golden Triangle
Nothing beats a couture fashion shopping spree to start the day off right. And here, almost everything is within walking distance. From Hôtel de Sers, you're right in the heart of the Golden Triangle, where iconic fashion houses stand alongside more discreet designers.
Let's start with the essentials of Parisian elegance:
- Chanel, Dior, Saint Laurent, Balmain, Givenchy—all these legendary brands have boutiques on Avenue Montaigne or Rue François 1er. You'll discover key pieces from the latest collections, plus the added bonus of a personalized shopping experience at select flagship stores.
Yet Paris wouldn't be Paris without its discreet, hidden designer gems:
- Maison Rabih Kayrouz (38 rue de Bellechasse): Architectural silhouettes and noble fabrics in an incredibly serene showroom.
- Dice Kayek (20 rue de la Baume): Poetic, feminine minimalism for those who appreciate statement pieces.
- Maison Ullens (4 rue de Marignan): Understated chic and luxurious fabrics, perfect for a sophisticated travel wardrobe.
And for accessory lovers: Sylvie Corbelin (60 rue François 1er), an artist-jeweler who blends surrealism with refined craftsmanship in unique, statement jewelry.
Need a break between fittings? Head over to Carette (4 Place du Trocadéro) for a café crème served in vintage china, with a delightfully Parisian atmosphere—and a view to match.
