Weekday Wanderlust | Unknown Paris: A Few Favourite Places, from Pâtisseries & Boulangeries to Thai Food
Thursday 29th March, 2018
@sarahloven
I’ve been living my Parisian dream for the past four years and I can say that I still discover different places and new architecture every time I’m exploring the city. As a Paris-based editor, I feel the necessity to try all kind of new and trendy spots so that I can share my discoveries with readers. But also as a citoyenne de Paris I discover places that are not forcément that famous. I wanted to share these lesser known places with you even though the interiors are often not at all instagrammable but can assure you they are worth a visit.

Boulangerie Julien - it’s my (almost) daily place to go for croissants and baguettes. The most delicious is their ‘croissants aux amandes’
73 Avenue Franklin Roosevelt
75008
At Sacha Finkelswtajn, you can find the most incredibly delicious Yiddish patisserie. My favorite here is their strudel viennois.
27 Rue de Rosiers
75004
Mme Shawn is my favorite Thai restaurant. They serve really great food and have 3 locations, but my favorite is the one near Opera
40 Place du Marché Saint-Honoré
75001
Pho 11, it’s my favorite Vietnamese restaurant from an entire neighborhood dedicated to Cuisinie Asiatique. I love and recommend their Soupes Sattés
52 Rue Sainte-Anne
75002
From time to time, I take the métro especially to go to Oberkampf. There’s a little but great boulangerie there called Utopie. I always order a roulé sesame
20 Rue Jean Pierre Timbaud
75011

Like many of you have already noticed, almost everyone on Instagram is on holiday, laying in the sun and doing nothing. In case you are still at work, as well, here is something that made me dream for a while this week and took my mind off of work.
Décor Inspiration: Styling Open Shelves
There is something exciting about interior design, redecorating the living room and having the perfect set up. I think it’s more important to purchase, from time to time, statement pieces―perfect pieces―than rather spending frequently on little pieces that eventually will be hidden somewhere because they don’t fit the aesthetics of your space. I’ve waited months and months for a rug that will fit my little studio and I don’t regret the investment.
Shopping: In Search of the Perfect Swimsuit
These past few weeks, I have been having the same routine in Paris: Lounging along La Seine towards Palais Royal, an Iced Coffee Latte from Kitsuné, sitting in the parc for hours and arriving home when the city is bathed in the golden hour.
Thoughts on Creativity
The app that once began with an array of artfully arranged lattes and avocado toasts shifted, for a while, its attention to promoting millennial influencers with a mastery of DSLR cameras and photo presets. This app, however, has still (amongst its one billion monthly users) creative minds that use it to express their creativity and poetry with those seeking beautiful visuals.
Dreams of Provence
As I am dreaming endlessly of holidays, cannot wait to visit some areas around Avignon this August. Driving around the south of France, seeing the beautiful the villages in Provence will be a dream come true.
The Beauty Secrets of Anine Bing & TyLynn Nguyen
Ask a model what her beauty secret is and she’ll tell you it’s all about drinking water (and a handful of products that she will share–eventually–with you).
I have been following Anine Bing and TyLynn Nguyen, favourite designers at the moment, for a while now and I’m inspired daily by their style and all around awesomeness. What I have noticed is that they both seem to have extraordinary beauty and skincare routines. I am often so inspired by other people’s beauty tips and skincare secrets, so I decided to put together a few of their favourite products to hopefully inspire you.

Dana is a fragile dreamer, they say, arriving in Paris four years ago, for love, and the city has been constantly changing her life since then. Hers is a world of books, (Marguerite Duras, Simone de Beauvoir, Anne Berest), expos, long walks sur les quais de Seine, pink skies, fine wine and peonies.
