Another favourite walk is around the Marais with a stop to refuel midday at Mariage Freres for tea. It's the most charming spot and they have all the greatest teas (and treats!) in the world.
Paris is the dream destination of any fashionista. Luxury French brands with rich tradition have their signature stores on the famous Champs-Elysées but don’t miss to discover the flagship Chanel store on the iconic 31 rue Cambon (1st arrondissement). While the ground floor boutique offers the latest collections, the second floor in the building is the famous apartment of Coco Chanel herself.
For something uniquely Parisian, it is worth visiting the Grand Boulevards district where, between the theatres and cafes, you will discover “Les Passages Couvert” (covered passages) with stunningly ornamental glass roofs and mosaic floors. The Gallerie Vivienne is the most glamorous of these arcades and Jean-Paul Gaultier has his flagship store here, but there are also unknown designers worth to be discovered. Stroll along any of the thirty or so passages to discover boutiques, jewellery shops, antique showrooms, tearooms and old-style restaurants.
Paris is known for its incredible food and offers a vast selection of “haute cuisine” dining options. For an unforgettable Michelin star dining experience try Epicure in Le Bristol Hotel. At Epicure, celebrated chef Eric Frechon, who holds four Michelin stars, has created a temple of gastronomy that is absolutely French. His macaroni stuffed with black truffle, artichoke and duck foie gras, gratinée with aged Parmesan is an unforgettable dish that people travel to Paris to experience.
Just steps from the Pont Neuf, star chef Guy Savoy's three-Michelin-starred table serves inventive and eye-catching dishes anchored in tradition. Views of the Seine and Louvre from the dark-slate dining room on the first floor of the Monnaie de Paris are memorable; so is the painted ceiling.
If you are looking for lower-key but still high-quality restaurants, stroll along bustling side streets away from the tourist spots and discover delicious cuisine cooked by local chefs.
Parisian elegance with stunning views at Shangri-La Paris
This Shangri-La hotel in Paris is an escapade into a sybaritic vision of France's past: as the former residence of French prince Roland Bonaparte (the grand-nephew of French Emperor Napoleon), the impressive property features a Louis XIV façade and an interior resembling Versailles. It’s nestled in the refined, residential 6th arrondissement, just a short walk from the famed Champs-Élysées. The hotel will enchant you with its world of marble, silk, crystal, Murano glass, gold accents, oil portraits in gilded frames and bouquets of fresh flowers
Apart from the modern Penthouse Suite and the Imperial Suite, which has a butler's kitchen, the 81 bedrooms and suites are calmly classical, recalling the French grand lifestyle. Most have large rooftop terraces with astonishing views of the Eiffel Tower. Dining options include the Franco-Asian Bauhinia restaurant up to the Michelin-starred Shang Palace.
