AD Design Insiders: Paris

by David Stewart

Pierre Yovanovitch

Restaurants

Chez Josephine-Dumonet has delicious meat and game, and an exceptional mille-feuille.

Hotels

The view from the top floor of Le Meurice allows guests to discover all of Paris.

Shopping

Karl Lagerfeld's bookshop, 7L , is dedicated to art, photography and fashion.

Leisure

I like to have a cup of tea at the Hôtel Montalembert on Sunday afternoons. It's very calm and quiet. In the winter, there is a fire in the fireplace, just like in a cozy and welcoming house.

Outdoors

The Cour Carrée of the Louvre at night is amazing.

Tradition

It's a bad habit, but a few weeks before a presidential election, we collect parking tickets in the hopes that they will be canceled.

Craig Wright

Restaurants

Le Voltaire is where all of the grand antiques dealers go and the people in the art world. It's a real yoo-hoo kind of place. The pommes frites are the best in all of Paris, and everybody knows it.

Hotels

The Hôtel Montalembert is old and new Paris.

Shopping

Galerie Jean-Jacques Dutko carries the bronze work of Bruno Romeda.

Leisure

La Pagode is the French version of Grauman's Chinese as Napoléon III would have built it.

Outdoors

Le Parc des Buttes-Chaumont is a 19th-century gem.

Tradition

We rent a little rowboat and have a picnic on the lake in the Bois de Boulogne .

Juan Pablo Molyneux

Restaurants

I really like the Parisian ambience at Benoit . Le Voltaire is another favorite.

Hotels

L'Hôtel is a Neoclassical design by Jacques Garcia.

Shopping

At Atelier Prométhée , they sell reeditions of terra-cotta busts, planters and fountains from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.

Leisure

I unwind at my place in the country at the Château du Marais.

Outdoors

At the Tuileries terraces , you can see almost all of Paris.

Tradition

We read the newspaper on a café terrace with a café crème and a tartine au beurre (baguette with butter). After that, we go antiques shopping.
