Picks by 조승연의 탐구생활 in Paris

10 places 조승연의 탐구생활 went to in Paris — what they said, and what to watch out for.

• Shangri-La Paris — 조승연의 탐구생활
  Mentions wanting to go inside, noting that a descendant of Napoleon, reacting to being snubbed, ordered only the most expensive materials of the era to build this house — dripping with carvings, ornamentation, gold, and bronze.
  Heads up: Admits to only having walked past the outside without going in.
• Ritz Paris — 조승연의 탐구생활
  Praised as the original hotel that invented the concept of a 'rental palace' for wealthy foreigners who had no royal-style venue of their own in Paris to socialize in.
  Heads up: Mentioned that despite being the original, it isn't officially classified as a 'Palace Hotel' since it never applied for the rating.
• Le Bristol Paris — 조승연의 탐구생활
  Praised as a place where you can truly experience the 'vault-like' atmosphere of Faubourg Saint-Honoré, with the 18th-century aristocratic mansion's original structure intact — marble columns and a secret garden hidden from outside view.
  Heads up: Explicitly mentioned as priced at a level only the characters from 'Emily in Paris' could afford.
• Epicure — 조승연의 탐구생활
  Praised not just for the food quality but for the setting itself — dining while looking out through the massive windows of an 18th-century aristocratic mansion onto a garden in the heart of Paris — as the reason for its three Michelin stars.
• Café Antonia — 조승연의 탐구생활
  Describes having brunch while looking out through arched windows three times human height at the garden where the Castellane ducal family once lived in seclusion.
  Heads up: To dine in the old family brunch room with its rounded bay overlooking the garden, you need to arrange it with the concierge the day before — highly recommended.
• Le Meurice — 조승연의 탐구생활
  Praised for its wildly popular dessert shop that draws long lines, as well as its fascinating history as a hotel designed to suit the lifestyle of English aristocrats.
  Heads up: You have to wait in a very long line to buy the desserts.
• Chanel — 조승연의 탐구생활
  A must-see is the Art Deco spiral staircase wrapped in mirrors that is never renovated — rumored to have been installed by Chanel so she could watch customers' expressions from her upstairs office.
• Hermès Paris Faubourg Saint Honoré — 조승연의 탐구생활
  Noted as the original store located at the very address printed under the brand's logo.
• British Embassy in Paris — 조승연의 탐구생활
  Shares the French people's ironic joke that 'the British Ambassador still sleeps in the bed of the brother of the man who once dreamed of conquering Britain.'
• Place Vendôme — 조승연의 탐구생활
  Described as a symbol of French luxury, standing on the site once occupied by the home of Crozat, one of the wealthiest men of the 18th century.
