    48 Hours in Paris

    Situated in one of the most prestigious shopping destinations in Paris and steeped in history, we are delighted to announce the arrival of our latest store fittingly located at 10 Place de la Madeleine.

    Resplendent in rich, historical architecture so unique to Paris, Place de la Madeleine is perhaps best known today for shopping and a richly diverse and specialist food offering. Once the home of revered French novelist Marcel Proust, the focus of the area centres around the neo-classical architecture of the stunning Madeleine temple featuring Corinthian Columns, which according to Napoleon served as ‘an expression of grandeur and immortal glory’.

    Today this location serves as a key link within the city where walking is paramount. Surrounded by history and culture at every turn, a stroll along the River Seine, a visit to the Palace of Versailles, a ballet at the Opera Garnier or even a venture over to the cool hub of the Le Marais district is all achievable and the ideal starting point for a visit to this magical city.

    The go-to for everything from sweet to savoury dishes, where everything is prepared in-house, Stohrer offers the very best in French pastries, from rum babas, through to vol-au-vents and suits d’amour, Stohrer sets the tone for an exceptional Parisian experience.

    Nothing says ‘Paris’ as much as a traditional café. In a city with perhaps the best collective of quick establishments to grab a coffee or a pastry, there can be no better place to stop off when walking the city.

    Established in the 1880s Café de Flore is one of the oldest and most iconic cafés in Paris. A favourite spot for artists and intellectuals, the café, situated in the Saint Germain-des-Prés features an Art Deco interior and an elegant setting to enjoy classic French food and drink.

    Situated close to Le Centre Pompidou is the Sunset-Sunside Jazz Club on Rue Des Lombards. Split over two levels, the venue is well-known for its vibrant scene - featuring top-billed musicians and upcoming artists who provide an eclectic mix of styles.

    Visit the Luca Faloni store, 10 Place De la Madeleine

    The opening of Luca Faloni’s latest store in Paris signifies the brand’s presence in all four global fashion capitals. Occupying an impressive two-storey location on the iconic Place de La Madeleine, the Paris store allows for a perfect presentation of the Luca Faloni Collection.

    Offering a personal, elevated shopping experience, the Luca Faloni store offers a fully functioning bar on the first floor serving aperitivo every weekend in the relaxing Torino lounge areas equipped with a pool table, creating that true ‘home-away-from-home’ feeling.

    Celebrating the brand’s Italian heritage, every store is meticulously designed in collaboration with architects from Turin, Luca’s home city in Northern Italy. Whilst distinctly Italian in ambience, every Luca Faloni boutique also pays homage to the local area.

    The Paris boutique takes inspiration from nearby landmarks the Eglise de la Madeleine and the Palace of Versailles, as white Carrara marble, Azul Calcite and Canaletto walnut feature throughout the interior. Mirrors have also been cleverly used to create unexpected visual effects, and a bespoke brushed steel staircase seamlessly connects the two floors and serves as a striking design feature.
