5 things to do in Paris during PFW

After London, Florence and Milan, the fashion crowd has landed in the Ville Lumière, these days the background of Paris Men's Fashion Week. Despite the melancholic feeling left by the terrorist attacks last November, Paris remains one of the most interesting destinations of the European fashion landscape, inside and outside the shows. Apart from the traditional architectonical attractions, here’s the 5 hot spots not to miss once you get to the French capital:

#1 Café Kitsuné: spin off of the French music label (and clothing brand) carrying the same name, it’s the ideal place for a coffee break with friends or for working on your PC in a young and fresh atsmosphere. 51, Galerie Montpensier 75001 or 109, rue Amelot 75011.

#2 Merci: obtained from an ex wallpaper factory, this department store located in the Marais gathers the best in terms of clothes, accessories, stationery, cosmetics and interior design. Inside you’ll also find two bars and a restaurant. 111 Boulevard Beaumarchais 75003.

#3 Pinacothèque de Paris: until March 20, 2016 you can assist to Karl Lagerfeld, Visual Journey, an exhibition which retraces the photographic work of Fendi’s and Chanel’s creative director. 28, Place de la Madeleine, 75008.

#4 Le Perchoir: for an apéro or a dinner with an amazing view above Paris, that’s the place for you. If you reach the 7^th floor of an anonymous building in the Ménilmontant district, you’ll find yourself on a huge rooftop decorated by comfortable pillows and perfumed aromatic plants. 14, Rue Crespin du Gast, 75011.

#5 Hotel Amour: for a drink after dinner in the Pigalle district, this discreet and charming hotel offers a wide selection of wines and nibbles of the French cuisine. The sought after furniture and the low light do the rest. 8, Rue de Navarin, 75009.
