Generally, trips to Paris conjure up thoughts of strolls along the Seine, fresh-baked croissants, and many a glass of vin rouge at corner brasseries, but if you’re one of the many people heading there for Maison & Objet—the city’s biannual lifestyle tradeshow—all you have on your mind is design, design, design.
To help you plot out your precious time away from M&O, we’ve rounded up fifteen of the newest and most notable design-centric spots that you’ll want to add to your trip’s must-check-out list, including a stunning right-bank hotel designed by the show’s Designer of the Year Dorothée Meilichzon, fashion label Maison Kitsuné’s just-opened Café at Filles du Calvaire, and artist Anish Kapoor’s impressive exhibit at the Versailles gardens.
