THE BEST BOUTIQUES FOR SEPTEMBER SHOPPING IN PARIS

In Paris, la rentrée has that very particular charm of new beginnings. Terraces find their rhythm again, shop windows shift in tone, silhouettes become more elongated, materials feel more enveloping. One looks for a perfectly cut jacket, an elegant notebook, a seasonal fragrance, a statement piece to step back into the rhythm with style. From Hôtel de Sers, just steps from the Champs Élysées, the capital reveals itself like a full scale wardrobe, between iconic department stores, inspiring concept stores and confidential addresses.
