The 10 Snobbish Tends of the Parisian Woman This Summer

The Parisian woman doesn’t follow trends—she sets them. She knows the hottest new spots before anyone else, books the most sought-after tables, uncovers the experiences everyone will be talking about tomorrow, and cultivates the subtle art of always being in the right place at the right time. These little rituals, when taken together, form a true art of living.

Lunch on a rooftop before the rush hour, brunch in a Riviera-style setting, treating yourself to a yoga class in an Italian piazza, letting dinner stretch into the wee hours, or discovering the latest K-Beauty treatment everyone’s talking about… All these pleasures have become the new hallmarks of a Parisian summer. Here are the 10 Parisian trends this summer. Officially, she never admits to them. Unofficially, she does them all!

Lunch at Le Balcon before everyone else

A true Parisian knows the best spots… before they get overrun with crowds. Head to Le Balcon, the new restaurant by Julien Sebbag, located on the rooftop of Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann. With views of the Paris rooftops and the Opéra Garnier, you can savor vibrant Mediterranean cuisine where vegetables, fresh herbs, and seasonal ingredients take center stage. The trick? Book the first seating to enjoy a still-quiet terrace and perfect light. A spot that checks all the boxes for a chic lunch with a view.

Enjoy a movie under the stars

When summer arrives, film buffs swap dark movie theaters for the majestic Cour Carrée at the Louvre. The Cinéma Paradiso festival transforms this legendary venue into an open-air cinema where you can rediscover cult classics in a unique atmosphere blending fine dining, music, and cultural heritage. One of the most elegant experiences of the Parisian summer.

Indulge in a New York-style burger without leaving Paris

Even the most fashion-forward Parisian women have their little weaknesses. And when a craving for a burger strikes, there’s no need to book a ticket to Manhattan. At Manhattn’s Burgers, soft buns, generous portions of meat, melt-in-your-mouth cheddar, and recipes inspired by the best New York diners come together for an ultra-indulgent treat. It’s a spot where you can fully embrace your craving for comfort food, far from all the “healthy” trends.

Why roll out your mat at a gym when you can work out in the heart of an Italian piazza? From July 19 to August 30, Maison Delano Paris invites its guests and Parisians to discover a new Sunday event centered on movement and the Italian art of living. Each week, the hotel’s intimate courtyard transforms into an open-air Pilates studio, featuring a class led by a professional instructorfrom Ôra Studio—a Parisian fitness and wellness club—using equipment from Hercule Studio. The session is followed by an aperitivo—a true Italian social ritual—created by Chef Paolo Minelli and the teams at the Delano Café.

A place where you never check the time.
