Between two fashion shows and a quick trip to Avenue Montaigne, there’s the (precious) art of choosing the right spot to take a breather. Fashion Week isn’t just a marathon of silhouettes and front-row selfies. It’s also a subtle cartography of stylish haunts where journalists, models and designers release the pressure – glass in hand, in places as inspired as their looks. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Paris, true to its DNA, still hides treasures where you can sip a cocktail out of sight – between brutalist lines and Haussmannian salons, velvet banquettes and marble bars. Here are three must-try nuggets<\/strong> if you’re in town this week… or if you just want to experience fashion like an insider. <\/p>\n\n

H\u00f4tel de Sers: the discreet chic of the S’Bar<\/h2>\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n

In the heart of the Golden Triangle,H\u00f4tel de Sers<\/strong> is a place apart. A former aristocratic residence converted into an urban cocoon, it houses a confidential bar: S’Bar<\/strong>. No flashy neon lights or coded playlists. The atmosphere is hushed, almost cinematic<\/strong>, with retro armchairs, a white marble bar and light filtered throughArt & Floritude<\/strong>‘s delicate lighting fixtures. <\/p>\n\n

During Fashion Week, the S’Bar becomes a chic refuge<\/strong> for discreet stylists, exhausted fashion journalists and designers in search of calm. Special mention goes to the signature cocktails<\/strong>, both sophisticated and accessible, served in impeccable glassware. <\/p>\n\n

Just inaugurated<\/strong>, La Fondation<\/strong> is the place that’s shaking up the Parisian lifestyle scene. Behind this major project: the Galia Group<\/strong> and star duo Roman & Williams<\/strong>, already at the helm of NoMad in L.A.<\/strong> and the Ace Hotel in New York<\/strong>. The result? A place at the crossroads of design, contemporary art and urban gastronomy<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

The Brutalist building, designed by ChartierDalix<\/strong>, houses works in permanent rotation, spectacular volumes and a cocktail bar designed as a sensory experience<\/strong>. Here you’ll meet international creatives, fashion houses on location, and a happy few discreetly celebrating an aftershow. <\/p>\n\n

Right next to the Champ-de-Mars, FRAME<\/strong> is the quiet surprise of the Left Bank. Located in the Pullman Tour Eiffel<\/strong> hotel, its terrace offers a rare panorama of the Iron Lady. But it’s not just an Instagrammable setting: it’s a lively bar-restaurant<\/strong>, where the natural wine list rubs shoulders with fresh dishes and a cutting-edge musical program. <\/p>\n\n

Why do these addresses stand out from the crowd?<\/h2>\n\n
