The 10 Parisian snobberies to get through winter in style – Part 1

Because the Parisienne doesn’t do anything like everyone else, she celebrates winter in her own way: a croissant under the gilt of the Ritz, a pirouette on the ice of a palace, an LED mask between two art galleries. Chic, SELECT and always a little mischievous, she composes her winter like a carefully scribbled address book. Here are our 10 snobbery tips to get you through the season with style.

Combine an arty cultural moment with an ultra-luxurious sweet break

The new “Louis Vuitton Art Deco“ exhibition plunges you into the world of travel and the history of Louis Vuitton design. The must: facing the Seine, extend the pleasure at Café Maxime Frédéric, where the monogrammed pastries are real jewels.

Stroll through the Galerie de l’Instant

In the Marais district, the Galerie de l’Instant unveils the “Paradissime“ exhibition , a photographic tribute to Vanessa Paradis. Rare, intimate and luminous shots that capture the French muse in every era.
Galerie de l’Instant: 46 rue de Poitou, 75003 Paris from October 15, 2025 to January 14, 2026.

Treat yourself to a chic, gourmet coffee break at the Coupole

Between two shopping sprees in Paris’ favorite department store, fashionistas enjoy a caffeinated interlude at the Coutume Café, set up under the Galeries Lafayette dome. Enjoy exceptional coffee and the delicate, architectural creations of pastry chef François Daubinet, as beautiful as a couture bag!

Boost your glow in 20 minutes

The Parisian loves light, especially the light she wears on her face. This winter, the must: a session with an LED mask. The OVE Mask technology used at Lucibelle-le Paris promises a fresh, luminous complexion in just a few minutes.

Meet at the Matignon

Le Matignon, an institution in the Triangle d’Or, remains the address for flawless evenings out. It’s the place to toast after an exhibition visit to the Grand Palais. You can dine under the mirrors, or end the night to the tune of disco chic. A Parisian classic that never goes out of fashion. Read more

Introduction to the Lagree method

We know all about traditional yoga and Pilates! Now it’s time for something new, with the Lagree method, which has become very popular with Parisian women in recent months. This practice sculpts the body like no other: sheathing, intensity and elegance of movement. ÔRA Studio and KURV Studio are our 2 recommended addresses for discovering the Lagree method:

Experience cinema differently, palace-style

At the Royal Monceau, cinema becomes a chic experience. In the Katara Cinemayou can watch a cult film from a plush armchair, glass of champagne in hand, preceded by a star-studded brunch. Glamour and cinema à la française.
Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris, 37 avenue Hoche, 8th arrondissement, bookings only.

Skating in a palace

Every winter, the garden courtyard of the Plaza Athénée is transformed into a glittering ice rink. A fairytale scene where elegant women in Moncler down jackets glide between the garlands. Open mainly to customers, but there are a few slots for the curious. And, another new feature, an ice rink will soon be set up on the Galeries Lafayette rooftop (we’ll tell you all about it in part 2). Paris under the ice, but with style.
Plaza Athénée: 25 avenue Montaigne, 8e – Reservations via the palace concierge.

Treat yourself to the best pains au chocolat in Paris

Forget the corner bakery: true insiders flock to the Comptoir du Ritz Paris for its mouth-watering pain au chocolat allongé. Craving a viennoiserie, yes, as long as it’s worth it! PDO butter, divine puff pastry and a touch of caramel – a gourmet experience signed François Perret.
