Luxury Décontracté
Experience Paris—Audrey Hepburn style
Just like us, Audrey didn’t live in Paris, but Paris lived in her; she embodied l’esprit parisien in the way she indulged in life with joy and grace.
“Oh, but Paris isn’t for changing planes, it’s for changing your outlook, for throwing open the windows and letting in la vie en rose.”
Breakfast at Chaumet
Place Vendôme is synonymous with opulence. Built to commemorate the success of King Louis XIV’s army, it is now famous world-wide for its high-end jewellery. We can’t all afford such luxury items, but we can certainly bask in it Holly Golightly style.
Our recommendation?
Pick up the perfect flaky croissant from PAUL, grab un café d’exception from Café Nuances, and enjoy your breakfast in the glittering view of Chaumet’s famous tiaras.
Did you know they were commissioned to make jewellery for Emperor Napoleon and Empress Josephine?

La vie en mode
One of the things that made Audrey such an icon of Parisian style was her close relationship with many famous French brands, including Yves Saint Laurent. A few minutes walk from Palais Galliera, another gorgeous fashion museum, you will find Le Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris. Located in his former fashion house, their mission “to witness the history of the 20th century and the haute couture that accompanied a certain art of living that has now disappeared.” speaks not only to Audrey’s essence, but also to the heart of our brand.

Unwind at the Ritz
A historic gathering place for many artists, writers, and royalty, the Ritz Paris is also where Audrey filmed much of Love in the Afternoon (1957). Even if you don’t stay the night, live life to the chicest with a cocktail at the Ritz Bar, an ode to How to Steal a Million (1966). Or if you’re just looking to take a small but classy rest, settle into Salon Praust for une tasse de thé just like she did during her press conference for Charade in 1963.

A park with a stylish past
Stroll through Parc Monceau, full of remnants of classical architecture and lush scenery. This natural oasis also happens to be right around the block from Audrey’s residence in Charade, on the eastern end on 5 Avenue Velasquez. Then head to the western gates, down Avenue Van Dyck, turning into Rue Alfred de Vigny; at number 8, if the carriage door is open, wander through the cobbled entrance where you’ll find where Hubert de Givenchy first had his atelier, where an unknown Audrey rang the bell back in 1952.
