Traditional Paris

AN UNUSUAL ADDRESS
Piscine Josephine Baker
At the amazing Joséphine Baker pool, on the
banks of the Seine, you can tone your pretty legs
for next to nothing!
At the foot of the imposing François Mitterrand
Library, on the river and level with the water, you
can play at being a Parisian mermaid.
The idea? You can also join aqua-jogging or aqua-cycling classes to prepare for those
tanning sessions on the beach. There’s nothing like a good dose of cardio training to
lose weight and control cellulite!
With its unrivalled view of the Seine, this is THE pool of the summer!
How much? (€6 for classes and €3 entrance fee)

BAR
Park Hyatt Paris - Vendôme
You can easily picture yourself in a scene from one of
Sofia Coppola’s movies here. It’s glamourissimo and a far
cry from the other luxury hotels in this part of Paris. This
particular Hyatt cultivates a contemporary appeal and its
”anti-Chesterfield armchair” philosophy is deeply embedded
in the Parisian mind of what a hotel bar should be.
To kick off a dream evening, why not settle down near
the ultra-modern fireplace, unless you prefer the gracious
square courtyard for inveterate smokers (and a hotspot for
incognito stars), while sipping a stupendous cocktail that
only a few luxury hotels get right.
The genius big shot behind these magical nectars at the
bar is Yann Daniel, a mixing god and creator of the now mythical Park Hyatt Flower,
a cocktail made with champagne, lychees and rose.
The haute couture tapas are a perfect match for long drinks: mini-burgers, eggs with
foie gras and other delicate finger foods.
Bar: 2pm to 2am - Fireplace room: 6.30pm to 2am
Tapas: from €9 to €25 - Cocktail Park Hyatt Flower: €25

DINNER ADDRESS
Ralph Lauren
Why not check out a stunning architectural project and the very New York collection of
Ralph Lauren while also feasting on US delights in the store’s eatery? A preppy and
peppy restaurant in the delightful courtyard of the mansion, where you can enjoy a
luxury burger or top-class crab salad.
Major US renovation has been combined with Saint-Germain style: craftspeople
