Escapio doesn’t just have the most fabulous Paris Hotels, we’ve also got the hippest hoteliers (in Paris one would say “branché”) that let us in on the best insiders tips for going out. Today we’ve got Franck Autruie to spill the beans on the hottest locations to be seen in the city.

Hotels:
Naturally, Franck cant help but recommend his own hotels, styled with the utmost chic yet still manage to be excellent value for money. Among them are Le Quartier Bercy-Square and Le General.

Restaurants:
Passage 53 is a stylish bistro in a passage near the Musée Grévin whose success just grows and grows. Intimate and friendly with fantastic owners. (53, Passage des Panoramas – 75002 Paris – 01 42 33 04 35)

La Société : the latest Costes baby in St. Germain. Cute, sleek interiors and a just a little extravagant. (4, place Saint Germain – 75006 PARIS – 01 53 63 60 60)

La Cantine du Faubourg : One of the classics that remains without a doubt up with the best. (105, rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré – 75008 PARIS – 01 42 56 22 22 )

Kong : part of the Starck universe with views of the Seine from the heights of Pont Neuf (1, rue du Pont Neuf – 75001 PARIS – 01 40 39 09 00)

Holly
Unlike Gesa, my own childhood was spent climbing trees and cosying up at night with my numerous siblings in various campsites, or admiring the mismatched interiors of delightful 2* motels whilst moseying across Europe. In my tender years, I’ve found cultural enrichment in the French Alps, Spain and Bavaria, interspersed with fleeting trips to the Caribbean and a grubby month on the southeast Asian backpacker trail… anywhere with decent weather, good food and great people. I’ve been lucky enough to indulge in lavish beachside retreats and step out from grand, opulent hotels into big city shopping paradises; however, the mouldy student digs, bamboo huts, bumpy trains and deserted beaches along the way have ultimately made me appreciate the luxury, style and design that a seriously sexy hotel should offer.
