Beaupassage

In the heart of the exclusive 7th arrondissement of Paris, this is an enchanting, unexpected escape: a one-of-a-kind “beau passage” – hence the name – created in 2018. Aside from its elegant contemporary architecture, charming greenery, and monumental works by prominent artists (Fabrice Hyber, Eva Jospin, Marc Vellay, etc.), the main draw are the dozen or so gourmet addresses found within.

A bakery by Thierry Marx, a snack bar by Anne-Sophie Pic, a wine shop by Yannick Alléno, a café by Pierre Hermé, and more. These are all undisputed stars of French cuisine, brought together amidst the most prestigious gastronomic shops on the Parisian market (Alexandre Polmard as butcher, Nicole Barthélémy as purveyor of cheese, etc.).

In short, the most cutting-edge and glamorous way to do a food court the French way – and one that doesn’t take excellence lightly. To eat in or take away, in the dining room or on the terrace, the hardest part is choosing where to make your feast!
