Rue Des Barres
AUTUMN WINTER
letter from the creative director
Bonjour!
The next stop on our journey through Paris’ iconic streets is l’historique Rue des Barres. A hidden gem in the ever-bustling Le Marais lined with traditional architecture, bright cafés, and lush greenery, we were instantly inspired by this quiet street's timeless appeal.
Bienvenue to our newest line—rich with vibrant colours, draping silhouettes, and fine detailing, this collection is an ode to the subtle yet masterful artistry that keeps French style forever classy, designed to bring that same forever-quality to your summer style. Allons-y!
Avec amour,
Donna

The colours of Rue des Barres dazzle in this striking floral design. We adore the delicate ruffle details and gathered tiers that give this dress le parfait feminine feel.

Le Marais
One of the trendiest destinations in Paris, spend a day with us exploring what makes this historic district an ever-evolving hub of culture.
Un doux matin
Start the morning off sweet with one of Pastry Chef Yann Couvreur’s delectable works of art. Located on the charming Rue des Rosiers, his critically acclaimed sweet treats, full of colour and craftsmanship, are both gorgeous and delicious!
We recommend ordering à emporter and enjoying it in the stunning Jardins des Archives Nationales, inside the Hotel de Soubise, where you can have breakfast in the romantic atmosphere of 19th century architecture.

Art in the afternoon
Interact with artists at the open studios of 59 Rivoli. Founded in 1999 with the purpose of creating an alternative cultural experience, it is now one of the most visited contemporary art spaces in Paris. And it’s no surprise! There are 30 artist studios where anyone can walk though, explore cohesive expositions, and discuss the work on the spot with the artist.

Experience rich culture
Meaning, “little place” in Yiddish, the Pletzl is the historic Jewish quarter of Le Marais, where you can follow winding streets to discover quaint Jewish boutiques, delicious bakeries, and authentic restaurants with roots from all over the world.
We recommend stopping by L'As du Fallafel on Rue des Rosiers to try their Israeli-style falafel sandwiches. Not only are they bursting with fresh ingredients, they are also world-famous for their flavour!

Vinolicious
For lovers of wine, grab your friends and let your palates travel France at Divvino on Rue Elzévir. So much more than a wine shop, they offer group tastings in their 16th century cellar, where wines across the regions are tenderly paired with French specialties to curate an authentic and unforgettable experience.
Or for à emporter, chat with the knowledgeable staff, who will help you pick out just the right bottle for your taste, grab a wine-opener and take it to Pont Marie to bask in the golden lights that reflect off of La Seine!
