girls A plan for fashion, brunch, and Pilates
Paris isn't just a place to visit, it's a place to savor, stroll
around in heels, and experience with friends. This is the
trip we all need to take at least once in our lives.
If If cities had a gender, Paris would undoub-
tedly be a woman: divinity, haute couture, and
beauty in its purest form: celebrated as one of
Europe’s great capitals, known for its multicul-
tural charm and endless experiences, Paris exu-
des a distinct feminine energy, radiating elegance
and high fashion. That’s why discovering it among
girlfriends should be on our list of must-live adven-
tures at least once in a lifetime.
Though it may sound like a cliché, for many wo-
men, shopping is pure dopamine—an opportunity
to admire and learn from a fashion legacy steeped
in history. Since the 17th century, with the court
of Louis XIV, Paris has set the standard in style,
giving birth to haute couture through Charles Fre-
derick Worth. This legacy paved the way for ico-
nic maisons like Chanel, Dior, Saint Laurent, and
Givenchy. Today, some of these have become
must-visit museums, such as La Galerie Dior and
the Musée Yves Saint Laurent.
YUJ Yoga Studio, for instance, offers a
low-light yoga experience at various loca-
tions across the city. With multiple classes
each day, their first-floor café is adorned
with floral decorations and serves excellent
specialty coffee—a perfect spot to unwind
post-session.
And once appetite kicks in, another must-vi-
sit is La Pistacherie. More than just a café,
this boutique is a delicate and aromatic uni-
verse dedicated to a single star: the pista-
chio. From the shopfront itself, the entire
space breathes pistachio, honouring this
nut from start to finish. Here, you’ll find filled
croissants, specialty coffees, frothy lattes, and
handcrafted pistachio cheesecakes..
Of course, it’s also worth making a strategic stop
at Ladurée to savour their famous macarons.
Brunch & Pilates
Another plan, less talked about but increasingly
popular among women, is the “Pilates & Brunch”
moment.This is where the thematic connection
is strengthened: a trend that aligns with the desi-
re to care for the body, enjoy time with friends,
and indulge in experiences that blend wellness,
pleasure, and style. Like any major capital, char-
ming cafés are booming, and Paris offers a vast
selection.Some options provide a unique, photo-
genic, and highly shareable experience:
