Paris <\/a>is a city that seems to exist outside the boundaries of time. There\u2019s no such thing as a \u201ctypical day\u201d here. The city’s rhythm flows seamlessly from morning cafes to Michelin-starred dining, from cobblestone streets to late-night soirees. This season, I found myself once again immersed in that Parisian current, this time for Asia NOW, a contemporary art fair that celebrates the ever-evolving dialogue between Asia and Europe.<\/p>\n

This year marked a proud milestone for “T\u00fcrkiye: Vision<\/span> Art Gallery” became the first and only Turkish gallery to participate, representing three talented artists, Anita Taylor, Berna Dolmac\u0131 and Lara Say\u0131lgan. Seeing a Turkish platform<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> showcased among such an international constellation of creatives was genuinely inspiring.<\/p>\n

The best way to experience Paris is on foot; each stroll reveals something new: a hidden courtyard, an irresistible cafe, or a gallery tucked behind a gilded door.<\/p>\n

Where to stay<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Le Bristol Paris<\/strong><\/p>\n

Celebrating its 100th anniversary, Le Bristol Paris remains one of the capital\u2019s most distinguished addresses. Part of the Oetker Collection, the hotel perfectly combines Parisian elegance with a refined art de vivre. Its 188 rooms and suites are a study in timeless luxury, located directly on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore, the heart of haute couture and shopping.<\/p>\n

The hotel\u2019s three Michelin-starred restaurant Epicure<\/span>, led by chef Arnaud Faye, delivers plates that are pure works of art. Le Bristol also houses the one Michelin-starred 114 Faubourg, Cafe Antonia and the chic Le Bar du Bristol. Every detail, from service to design, reflects perfection.<\/p>\n

Eat, drink<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Monocle Cafe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tucked away on Rue Bachaumont, Monocle\u2019s latest hybrid concept merges cafe culture, media and design into one immersive experience. Guests can sip specialty coffee by Ten Belles, enjoy Japanese sandos by Yabai Sando, or indulge in Japanese cheesecake from TOMO. As evening falls, the mood turns intimate signature cocktails and charcuterie boards from Fromagerie du Louvre take center stage.<\/p>\n

Baronne Restaurant<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paris always finds new ways to reinvent its nightlife and Baronne is proof of that. The city\u2019s most talked about newcomer has taken over a former Rothschild chateau, now reborn under the creative vision of the Paris Society group; the powerhouse behind Loulou, Girafe and Apicius. Behind its discreet fa\u00e7ade lies a world of cinematic decadence: plush velvet banquettes, marble fireplaces, gilded mirrors and chandeliers that shimmer above every table.<\/p>\n

Each salon has its own identity, some intimate and candlelit, others dramatic and glamorous, making Baronne feel like a series of secret rooms waiting to be discovered. The central bar gleams with Parisian allure, where guests sip on signature cocktails before dinner, surrounded by a stylish crowd of editors, creatives and jet set locals.<\/p>\n

The menu is as international as its clientele, combining French finesse with global inspiration. Expect refined small plates and dishes designed for sharing; think delicate ceviche, buttery truffle pasta and perfectly grilled meats. After dinner, the lights dim, the DJ takes over and the restaurant transforms into a chic late-night lounge that hums with energy until the early hours.<\/p>\n

Baronne is not just a restaurant, it\u2019s an experience, a glamorous blend of gastronomy, design and Parisian theater. For those seeking a night that feels both exclusive and electric, this is where the city\u2019s pulse beats loudest right now.<\/p>\n

L\u2019Aller Retour Restaurant<\/strong><\/p>\n

A true French bistro tucked away in the heart of the Marais, L\u2019Aller Retour is a hidden gem for those who appreciate classic French cooking and an unpretentious dining scene. Beloved by locals, it\u2019s a carnivore\u2019s haven; the kind of place where every table is filled with laughter, the scent of seared meat and the lively hum of conversation.<\/p>\n

Their perfectly grilled ribeye is the star of the menu, juicy, smoky and melt-in-your-mouth tender, while the buttery escargots remain a timeless Paris favorite. We began our meal with a creamy burrata salad, followed by the signature steak paired with a Syrah from the Northern Rhone and finished with pecan pie and a glass of Macvin du Jura, a flawless finale that perfectly balanced sweetness and depth.<\/p>\n

The space is intimate and warmly lit, with exposed stone walls and wooden tables that give it a rustic Parisian charm. Service is effortlessly friendly, and the staff are happy to switch between French and English with ease. It\u2019s the kind of restaurant that makes you feel like a local, whether you\u2019re seated at a small table by the window or at the lively bar with a glass of red.<\/p>\n

Come for the food, stay for the atmosphere and don\u2019t forget to book ahead. With only a few tables and a loyal neighborhood following, L\u2019Aller Retour fills up fast.<\/p>\n

La Coupole Paris <\/strong><\/p>\n

A living monument to Paris\u2019s Art Deco heritage, La Coupole has been the city\u2019s social heartbeat since 1927. Once the gathering place for the Lost Generation and artistic luminaries, its mosaic columns and grand dome have witnessed nearly a century of creative energy. Today, La Coupole remains a lively hub for Montparnasse\u2019s business crowd and cosmopolitan Parisians, who gather for power lunches, leisurely dinners, and the nostalgia of old Paris. Despite the passing of decades, the brasserie\u2019s golden age glamour endures.<\/p>\n

The menu celebrates the essence of traditional French brasserie cuisine, with a proud focus on seafood. Go for one of the towering shellfish platters, best paired with a side of buttery whelks or winkles, a visual and culinary delight that feels straight out of a Parisian postcard.<\/p>\n

After nearly a century in operation, La Coupole runs like a well-oiled machine, balancing efficiency with old-world charm. Walking through its doors feels like stepping back into 1920s Paris, when jazz echoed through Montparnasse and the city\u2019s creative spirits made history over Champagne and oysters.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
