Everything You Need To Know About Paris Fashion Week

Off The Runway

When in Paris, take it easy like the Parisians. Of course, there are the typical tourist sights to see, but go off the beaten path and enjoy the French city like a local. Here are some spots to have a bite, drink, or just to relax and shop after the shows. Where To Shop: Rue Saint-Honoré - head to the 1st arrondissement and shop at a wide selection of upscale boutiques. It's located near the Jardin des Tuileries, so be careful not to get your new heels dusty. One of our favorites is Colette, @coletteparis, located at 213 Rue Saint-Honore. Where To Eat: Rue Mouffetard, located on a hilly part of the 5th arrondissement near the historic Sorbonne, offers a delicious selection of cuisine from classic French to Lebanese. Mini Palais, located in the Grand Palais, is a chic Parisian brasserie that won't take you far away from the action of the Fashion Week runways. Whether you're in the mood for a power lunch or afternoon tea, this restaurant, run by three Michelin star chef Eric Frechon, is where you want to go. Poilâne is one of the best French bakeries, with locations all around the city. Buy a apple chausson or a baguette to enjoy as you stroll down the Seine. Because there's nothing like eating fresh macarons as you scope out the street style on the Champs Elysees, stop by our classic favorite Ladurée. [Photos via, via]
