Cosy speakeasy dinner spot situated in a bohemian apartment with French comfort food that is very popular for brunch on the weekends. The upstairs a smoking lounge is hidden behind a secret doorway.
This lovely hotel is understated yet wonderfully chic - expect everything in soothing tones of blue & grey. As soon as we arrive, we love to settle in at the courtyard for a drink or two.
Les Bains is the achingly hip spot to drink, dance and eventually sleep in Le Marais. All the coolest characters have spent a few lost nights here – Prince, The Rolling Stones, Yves Saint Laurent, you get the drift. With Gainsbourg-esque interiors by filmmaker Jean-Pierre Marois and designer Tristan Auer (of Hotel Le Crillon and Cotton House, Mustique Island) this is the place to be for the city's art and music crowd, sipping Filthy Tinis on leather sofas against original graffiti from the hotel's café past – it used to be France’s answer to Studio 54. Hit the spa after a late one at the basement nightclub – we won't blame you if you took a dip in the pool at midnight, it’s really the thing to do.
This Paris bistro has an excellent wine list, each one pairing perfectly with the deliciously prepared food. The beautiful interior makes you want to stay all night. Located in the trendy Le Marais, you will be among a great crowd at Parcelles.
L’ escritoire is stationary heaven. For those who collage or love arts and crafts, this is a place you must visit right after the Pompidou. The most incredible antique pens, petite watercolour palettes, leather notebooks, stickers, papers, vintage postcards and cool celebratory cards.
