Winter in the City of Light
Travel guide ٢٩ نوفمبر ٢٠٢٢
With postcard views, twinkling lights and cobblestoned streets, come the winter season, there’s nothing quite like the sparkle and allure of an evening in Paris. We joined model Elise Hoogerdijk for the best bits…
To see

Bridges, churches, fountains and monuments sparkle, illuminating each of the avenues of the French capital. After dark, head straight to the Eiffel Tower, where more than 20,000 twinkling lights line the famous landmark. Or for a truly memorable night, take a romantic cruise along the Seine and marvel at sights such as the Pont Alexandre III – considered one of the city’s most beautiful bridges.

To stay

While in Paris, make The Hoxton hotel your home. This grand eighteenth-century residence with period details is well placed for exploring, with the Louvre, Jardin des Tuileries and the banks of the Seine just 20 minutes’ walk away. For a nightcap, @EliseHoogerdijk, friend of The Bicester Collection, recommends climbing the infinitely Instagramable staircase to Jacques' Bar before retiring to your suite. The cocktails are arguably the best in the city.

TOP TIP

Still at La Vallée Village? Head to Ladurée. Revered around the globe for its sensational sweet treats, it would be amiss not to try one of its dainty macarons – bon appetit!

To brunch

Paris is home to more than 1,000 boulangeries and patisseries. Do as the Parisians do and kick start your day in the capital with a deliciously flaky pastry.

Self-proclaimed creative boulangerie BO & MIE, located a few steps from the Louvre, offers its unique take on a variety French classics. Open until 8 pm, it’s the perfect spot for a post-dinner ‘something sweet.’

Maje

Bicolour sequin dress
STYLE TIP

You don’t need to dress up for a seat at Bambini, but we think this evocative interior demands a look that is equal parts sophisticated and playful. Try this dress from Maje.

To eat

It's not all croque monsieurs and coq au vin in Paris. Bambini, a vibrant new(ish) trattoria, offers no-fuss, delicious Italian food in the city centre. On the menu you'll find generous helpings of pasta and incredible Neapolitan pizzas. As for cocktails, expect the classics alongside a selection of delicious Italian wines – all served against a striking backdrop of the Parisian skyline.

An Instagram-worthy interior
To drink

Home to a chic crowd, Hotel Costes is the place to be seen. You’ll be transported back in time with its long velvet drapes, decadent chandeliers, deep sumptuous chairs and menu of classic Parisian cocktails – all in keeping with the charm of a bygone era. We recommend ordering a Moscow mule; the strong ginger-lime flavour makes it the perfect cold-weather contender.
