The Places We Love in February

Paris, so loved, yet so exhausting. It can be noisy, moody, sometimes a little rough… and then, suddenly, it takes your hand and reminds you why you love it. If you’re looking for a beautiful, intimate, not-too-obvious spot for Valentine’s Day, here are three addresses to keep to yourself (or almost).

 

1. A feast for the eyes at Baccarat

A hidden château, right in the city center yes, really.

L’Émil, the restaurant at Château Voltaire

Between the Opéra and the Tuileries, Château Voltaire feels like one of those places you hesitate to recommend, for fear it might become too well known. Behind its quiet façade lies a delightfully theatrical décor, uniquely designed rooms, and that pleasant feeling of being somewhere else… while still right in the heart of Paris.

La Coquille d’Or, the bar at Château Voltaire

You dine at L’Émil, linger at La Coquille d’Or bar, and head upstairs to sleep as if the hotel had been designed just for the two of you. A 5-star hotel that doesn’t take itself too seriously—and that does a lot of good.

Address: 55–57 Rue Saint-Roch, 75001 Paris

 

2.Les Grands Boulevards: the perfect “just one drink” plan

It all starts at The Shell bar. One drink, then another. And then that casual line slips in:
“Did you know there’s a hotel upstairs?”

Les Grands Boulevards

Behind the buzz of the Grands Boulevards, you slip through a discreet passage and discover a peaceful hotel built on the remains of an old secret garden. A glass-roofed restaurant, well-balanced cocktails, a hidden rooftop… A place Paris loves: elegant, slightly hidden, and perfect for extending the evening.

Special mention: Michelin Key 2024 (no less).

Address: 17 Boulevard Poissonnière, 75002 Paris

 

3. TOO Hotel: taking things to new heights (literally)

To see Paris differently… and from very high up.

If you feel like changing scenery for Valentine’s Day, head to the top of the Duo Towers. At TOO Hotel, Paris is seen from the sky: the Eiffel Tower, the Seine, the rooftops… everything is there in a panoramic view.

Panoramic sunset at TOO Hotel

The rooms feel like they’re floating above the city, Philippe Starck’s design does the rest, and sunset becomes the highlight of the evening. Modern, bright, and a little magical.

Address: 65 Rue Bruneseau, 75013 Paris

And to accompany these exceptional evenings, a few nails that shine just right. Between bold confidence Diva Energy and the nocturnal glow of Brilliant Night, everything you need to elevate every date.
