Bonjour, lovers!
As we gear up for the Paris 2024 Olympics, I am beyond excited to share a series of insider guides to the City of Light. Paris holds a special place in my heart—it’s where Madame Gabriela was conceived, and where our first iconic shade, PARIS AT 7PM, was born. Having lived in this enchanting city, I’m thrilled to take you on a journey through my personal favorite spots.
A new favorite of mine is lunch at Perruche, not only the food is outstanding but the view will make you want to keep ordering so you can linger and enjoy a true Parisian moment.
I love to visit the Yves Saint Laurent museum, to me it is a perfect way of being transported to the classic chic-era of Parisian fashion.
Need to stop for a coffee, no place better than the courtyard of Musée Carnavalet, Fabula - this place is a must-see this summer! I dream of a Madame Gabriela party there one day!
If you’re looking for a quintessential Parisian experience, look no further than the Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen. This legendary flea market, located on the northern outskirts of the city, has been a treasure trove for over a century. From Bauhaus chairs to English porcelain, you can find just about anything here. But the true charm lies in the sensory experience and the laid-back atmosphere.
For dinner, my today's favorite is Miss Ko, take a look, should I say more?
Lastly, no evening in Paris is fully magical without a drink at Bar les Ambassadeurs at the Crillon Hotel. I personally love their "Bésame Mucho" cocktail..dreamy.
I hope my 2024 Parisian favorites inspires you to explore the magic of the the City of Lights.
xox, Gabriela
