Paris is constantly buzzing with energy! While its cultural scene remains as vibrant as ever, the places to meet up—hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, and boutique boutiques—are constantly reinventing themselves. Follow our roundup of the must-visit new Parisian addresses.

In Paris, novelty is never just about opening a new address. It’s found in a redesigned setting, a restaurant entrusted to a promising chef, a historic building restored to its former glory, or an unexpected spot enriching a neighborhood’s landscape. This autumn, the capital offers countless reasons for strolling, creating an itinerary where shopping, gastronomy, hospitality, design, and culture intertwine. From the Champs-Élysées to the rue de Turenne, from Saint-Germain-des-Prés to the banks of the Seine, the Côté Paris editorial team explored the City of Lights in search of these addresses that, each in their own way, reflect the capital’s new desires. Some iconic brands are reinventing themselves, young establishments are setting up shop, and new favorite spots are already becoming part of Parisian routines. An invitation to see the city differently, through its openings and rebirths.Read also

On the Champs-Élysées and Golden Triangle side (Paris 8th arrondissement)

Cartier – The flagship store reinvented on the Champs-Élysées

Cartier has focused on transparency to bring clarity to the space and a stronger connection to the city. “Here we welcome hundreds of clients every day, French but also many foreigners, Americans in particular,” explains the boutique manager. “It was important that we make their visit an exceptional experience during which they have our undivided attention.” To achieve this, private salons have been created with meticulous attention to detail and decor. As with the design of all its boutiques, Cartier chose to work with artisans who cultivate excellence, with centerpieces including a marquetry wallpaper in the staircase depicting the iconic panther roaming Paris, stained-glass windows from the Saint-Just glassworks featuring the same panther, and an incredible chandelier composed of delicate porcelain leaves. While the objective remains to showcase jewelry, watches, leather goods and other accessories, the elegant and refined space is designed to perfectly reflect the brand’s values of high standards and creativity.

Address: 154, avenue des Champs-Élysées, 8th arrondissement.

The Cartier flagship store at the top of the Champs-Élysées has been restored to its former glory. Once again, the jeweler has chosen to showcase the excellence of French craftsmanship: marquetry wallpaper by the Berger workshops in the staircase, and stained glass by the Verrerie de Saint-Just for the small lounge overlooking the atrium.

Hando – Japanese cuisine and minimalist design

A little further down the avenue, we’ll turn onto Rue Pierre Charron. The same pursuit of refinement guided the design of the latest Hando restaurant by the interior design duo Virginie Friedmann and Delphine Versace. Opened in April, the restaurant embraces an aesthetic inspired by Japan. The spirit of Tadao Ando is evident in the use of decorative waxed concrete-style plaster on the walls and vintage kimono fabrics covering the backs of the high stools around the counter. But the restaurant is also noteworthy for its curated art collection, including a mural by Japanese artist Shinsuke Kawahara and a solid oak bookcase featuring wooden samurai figures designed by Jean-Guillaume Mathiaut (whom our readers discovered in our feature on Fontainebleau in Côté Paris issue no. 102). With locations in Sèvres, Vendôme, Marais and now Champs-Élysées, Hando has created a network of choice for lovers of traditional Japanese cuisine with a modern twist.

Address: 63, rue Pierre Charron, 8th arrondissement.

Veronica Beard – The timeless chic of American fashion

Beloved by fashionistas worldwide, including Katie Holmes, Poppy Delevingne, Kate Middleton, Selena Gomez, and Emma Watson, the American fashion brand Veronica Beard previously had no stores in Europe, except in London. Now, it has opened a boutique on Rue François 1er, offering its timelessly chic collections.

Address: 56, rue François 1er, 8th arrondissement.

From the Place de la Concorde to the Louvre (Paris 1st & 8th arrondissements)

Dalloyau – The gourmet revival of a historic house

For afternoon tea, what could be better than a light and airy pastry? A stop at Dalloyau is a must . This iconic location, established in 1682 and acquired two years ago by the Potel et Chabot group, has been given a makeover. The American agency Tihany Design was entrusted with the project, tasked with creating a space of understated luxury. Bakery, chocolate shop, biscuit shop, takeaway counter, tea room, and private dining area… We can be sure this address will quickly regain its place among the most discerning palates.

Address: 101, Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, 8th arrondissement.

Hôtel de Crillon – New Senior Culinary Management

The Hôtel de Crillon, bordering the Place de la Concorde, is a prime stop on a Parisian tour, especially since June 1st, the tables have been placed under the direction of Alan Taudon, a two-starred chef from L’Orangerie at the Four Seasons Hotel George V, with a view to reopening the gastronomic restaurant in early 2027.

Address: 10, Place de la Concorde, 8th arrondissement.

Address: 13, rue Royale, 8th arrondissement.

Eskal – Refined signature cuisine at Les Mathurins

On Rue des Mathurins, a stop at the aptly named Eskal is a must. Ken Nanaumi’s second restaurant after Akabeko (7th arrondissement), Eskal is helmed by chef Alexandre Chambat, trained in Michelin-starred establishments (Pavillon Ledoyen, L’Astrance, L’Oiseau Blanc, La Monnaie), who delivers a unique cuisine that reveals the texture and full flavor of the ingredients. The décor is by architect Régis Botta.

Address: 47, rue des Mathurins, 8th arrondissement.

Guy Degrenne – The concept store reinvented for tableware

Along the way, a detour to Rue Montmartre is highly recommended, where a visit to the Guy Degrenne boutique is a must . After a period of dormancy, the company is now run by brothers Marc-Alain, Antoine, Thomas, and Benjamin Spruch. While work has already begun on collections for professionals (hotels and restaurants), the entire brand image is currently being revamped. The goal: to establish itself as a “classic, timeless, elegant, and French” brand. This also involves renovating the retail spaces, a project entrusted to interior architect and designer Pauline Leprince.

Address: 1, rue Montmartre, 1er.

With the collaboration of interior designer Pauline Leprince, Guy Degrenne is reimagining its image and boutiques. The store on Rue Montmartre features a wall of cutlery. A brilliant idea.

The shop aims to be “a living space where flowers, decoration, and flavors come together.” A unique place to enjoy a meal and discover plants and tableware.

Strolls on the Left Bank and in Western Paris (Paris 5th, 6th, 7th, 14th & 16th arrondissements)

Saint-Germain-des-Prés – The rebirth of a legendary art-house cinema

Independent cinemas are few and far between in Paris, so the revival of Le Saint-Germain-des-Prés is a welcome event . Originally a cabaret in 1969, the cinema was taken over in the early 1980s by Frédéric Mitterrand and has managed to stay afloat with an art-house program ever since. It has now been relaunched thanks to nine passionate individuals supported by Chanel. Modernized by interior designer Fabrizio Casiraghi, the cinema evokes the charm of a bygone neighborhood movie theater.

Address: 22, rue Guillaume Apollinaire, 6th arrondissement.

With its demanding program, ranging from classic films to independent contemporary works, the Le Saint-Germain-des-Prés cinema asserts its distinctly “Left Bank” identity.

Haviland – The excellence and poetry of French porcelain

Before heading back towards Sèvres-Babylone, we recommend a detour to Rue de Grenelle to immerse yourself in the world of Haviland . Founded in Limoges in 1842, this manufacturer embodies the excellence of French porcelain. The new boutique, inspired by late 19th-century artists’ studios, showcases the full range of collections crafted by expert artisans.

Address: 46, rue de Grenelle, 7th arrondissement.

The new Haviland boutique showcases the full range of this exceptional porcelain manufacturer’s production, including the beautiful re-edition of Fleurs d’Auteuil, a design created in 1873 that remains remarkably poetic.

Dnud – A refined setting dedicated to chic beachwear

A better location could not have been found. On Place Michel-Debré, formerly the Croix-Rouge intersection, at the beginning of Rue du Cherche-Midi, Dnud, the swimwear specialist, has just opened its first Parisian boutique. Customers are received with attentive care in a bright, white setting that beautifully showcases the range of swimsuit colors. It’s easy to understand the brand’s popularity, as it continues to expand and become increasingly visible on beaches.

Address: 5, rue du Cherche-Midi, 6th arrondissement.

Hotel Le Magnifique – A vibrant haven designed by Vincent Darré

When Vincent Darré is invited to reinvent a setting, you can expect a major dose of eccentricity. For the Hôtel Le Magnifique, he has brilliantly and enthusiastically wielded the vocabulary of the stage, borrowing from mythology and adding a touch of surrealism. Frescoes cover every wall, from the lobby to the guest rooms and the pool. This place is more than just a hotel; it’s an atypical vision where all the arts come together to evoke an imaginary Paris for the guest. “Every detail is designed to bring the refinement of a French decorative arts style,” notes the designer, who clearly had a lot of fun creating a unique establishment on the site of what was once the Théâtre des Mille-Colonnes, built in 1833.

Address: 20 bis, rue de la Gaîté, 14th arrondissement.

The Picabia bar at the Hotel Le Magnifique evokes the atmosphere of a theater bar and lives to the rhythm of the performances at the neighboring theaters, signaling the end of intermission and inviting spectators who have come for refreshments to return to their seats.

Hôtel d’Aubusson and L’Alcazar – A festive evening and a dreamy night

The Hôtel d’Aubusson , rue Dauphine, redesigned by architect Bruno Borrione, who also designed Madame Rêve, Maison Pic, L’Avenue… offers 44 rooms decorated with works of art, a legendary café – the Laurent –, a spa with swimming pool, sauna, hammam.

Just a stone’s throw away, a date has been set for an evening at the Alcazar . The ghosts of David Bowie, Liza Minnelli, and Jacques Brel still haunt the venue, which was established in 1968. Walter Butler, already the owner of the Paradis Latin, has decided to revive its original spirit and draw on the archives to create a flamboyant setting. The program blends singers, dancers, and acrobats for shows that come alive in the heart of the theater.

Addresses: 33, rue Dauphine (Hôtel d’Aubusson) & 62, rue Mazarine (L’Alcazar), Paris 6th.

Hotel Madison – A haven of serenity designed by Friedmann & Versace

At the Hotel Madison, opposite the Café de Flore, Virginie Friedmann and Delphine Versace were at work. The duo reimagined the century-old establishment, transforming it into a haven of serenity. A palette of beiges and light woods adorns the rooms, each with its own delicate charm.

Address: 143, bd Saint-Germain, 6th.

Nanna Barge – Floating Library and Cultural Hub

Reading a book on a boat moored to a quay on the Seine, with a view of Notre-Dame and the river, is perhaps one of life’s great luxuries for those who love Paris and reading. This experience is now available on the barge Nanna, which houses a library in its basement, all in red, and a stage for events. Three thousand titles are already listed (eventually five thousand), with a focus on classics. Sections are also dedicated to contemporary literature, thrillers, science fiction, and other genres. You can choose to have lunch or a drink, settle in to read, and even leave with a book, a gift from Nanna. The partnership with Libraries Without Borders allows the NGO to collect books and Nanna to offer new ones. Book clubs, writing workshops and children’s activities on Wednesdays – in partnership with La Maison des histoires – literary speed dating and DJ sets are planned from the start of the academic year.

Address: Port of Montebello, 5th floor.

The Nanna barge is a library of a new kind; with a stage for events, a bar for food, a lounge for reading…

Bigoudi & Rosie Jolie – Gourmet brasserie atmosphere and panoramic rooftop

What could be more Parisian than brasseries, those establishments where relaxation reigns supreme and where simple, generous cuisine delights us? It’s with this idea of accessibility and good cheer that Juliette Cerdan and Kevin Caradeuc launched Les Brasseries à la Mode (Rosie in the 11th arrondissement, Rosie Lou in the 2nd). The beginning of summer saw the opening of Rosie Jolie and, on the rooftop, Bigoudi , on Avenue Raymond Poincaré. It’s this terrace that makes us dream: Paris at our feet, the Eiffel Tower and La Défense in sight, and on the plates, the signature dishes of Parisian brasseries: steak tartare, croque-madame, rib-eye steak, and a hearty Niçoise salad. Simple but effective.Read also

Address: 38, avenue Raymond Poincaré, 16th arrondissement.

Paris at our feet, the Eiffel Tower in sight, and classic brasserie dishes on our plates… We’re taking things to new heights at Bigoudi.

Le Cèdre Rouge – New flagship design for indoor & outdoor use

A new inspirational space opens its doors in September at Porte de la Muette. In this flagship store, spanning three levels, Le Cèdre Rouge returns to its core identity: a carefully curated selection of indoor and outdoor furniture, lighting, and accessories. “We are clear about our choices, we stand by them, and we can justify them,” explains Managing Director Daniel Setton. This beautiful space features a limited number of brands, but they are the ones you won’t find everywhere, and, most importantly, the ones the team knows intimately. Attentive and responsive, they can work with clients to develop a project, whether for furnishing a living room or a terrace. A truly valuable expertise.

Address: 76, rue de Passy, 16th arrondissement.

Chanel – “The Grand Perfumer Moment”, a tailor-made sensory experience

Expertise is also what Chanel aims to highlight with its new bespoke experience, “Le Moment Grand Parfumeur” (The Grand Perfumer Moment). Available free of charge by reservation, this 30-minute private consultation will take place in the first-floor salon of the Passy boutique. “It’s a privileged exchange orchestrated by one of our expert perfumers, who follows a precise protocol during which five objects will be presented to the client,” Tristan Chaulacel, International Retail Training Manager at Chanel, told us exclusively. “Without revealing all the mystery and symbolism surrounding these precious objects, know that they are an integral part of the experience.” A lion sculpture, a polished bronze frog (reminiscent of a gift given to Gabrielle Chanel by her friend, the ballet dancer Jacques Chazot), a bouquet of three ears of wheat, an octagonal rock crystal echoing the shape of Place Vendôme, and a porcelain camellia (the designer’s favorite flower, which became the emblem of the house) will resonate with the client’s feelings. The client is invited to touch them, handle them, and react to them as spontaneously as possible. Based on the emotions experienced and shared, the perfume expert will offer personalized recommendations, whether for iconic bottles, one of the nineteen contemporary creations from Les Exclusifs, or new additions to the Les Extraits collection. “In this intimate exploration of the Chanel universe, perfume becomes much more than a product,” concludes Tristan Chaulacel, “it becomes memorable.”

Address: 1, chaussée de la Muette, 16th arrondissement.

Sound and Coffee – The music-loving coffee shop inspired by jazz cafes

Of all the covered passages in Paris, the Passage des Panoramas, located between Boulevard Montmartre to the north and Rue Saint-Marc to the south and built at the very end of the 18th century, is undoubtedly the one that, beneath its beautiful glass roof, has best preserved its charm. Along its 133 meters, listed as a historical monument, one strolls from one shop to another, from a craftsman’s workshop to a restaurant. Special mention goes to Sound and Coffee, which has just opened. Its concept is inspired by Japanese jazz kissas, those café-tea rooms that aim to introduce people to music. So here, you can settle in with a specialty coffee and stay to listen to one of the countless vinyl records available.

Address: 48, passage des Panoramas, 2nd arrondissement.

At Sound and Coffee, coffee roasted on-site is enjoyed with music: not as background noise, but with a focus on providing a high-quality listening experience.

Daark – Coffee shop with a minimalist and radical design

Modest in size, but grand in its ambitions, the Daark coffee shop on Rue de Turenne attracts customers with its striking aesthetic. Designed by architect Rodolphe Albert, founder of Rodaa studio, the space features lime-plastered walls, exposed stone in some areas, a cork counter, a bench made of poured concrete, and a black facade. While takeaway is the preferred option, customers can always sit down and enjoy cookies (the black sesame one is a favorite), cakes, and freshly ground coffee.Read also

Address: 50, rue de Turenne, 3rd arrondissement.

At its helm, auctioneer Élodie Beriola and art curator Augustin Lepage pride themselves on being ideal partners for collectors and heirs seeking to maximize the value of their estates. The fledgling auction house, which aims to present entire collections on the market, will offer the contents of a Provençal farmhouse (from Bonnard in Bouchain) for sale in early October, followed by a collection of jewelry by Henry Périchon (1910-1971) and watches, textiles, and fashion pieces at the end of the same month.

Address: 25, rue Alexandre Dumas, 11th arrondissement.

Farrow & Ball – Boutique studio and bespoke colour consultations

Who hasn’t made a mistake when choosing their wall color? Selecting from a color chart is daunting, and creating a color scheme that reflects light, space, and personal taste is a real challenge. To help make the right choice, Farrow & Ball has developed a new boutique studio concept. The first in France and continental Europe is located on Avenue Ledru Rollin. Expert color consultations are offered, with the aim of guiding clients toward the shades best suited to their interiors. While these consultations can initially be conducted via video call, the best approach is to visit the boutique to explore the interactive color wall and immerse yourself in the available mood boards. Because the color of our surroundings influences our mood, it’s important to choose them carefully.

Address: 79, avenue Ledru Rollin, 12th arrondissement.

On Avenue Ledru Rollin, Farrow & Ball has opened its first boutique studio, a space for advice and personalized service staffed by color experts to facilitate your color choices.
