Come on, Charlotte, founder of Linnea Lund, takes you with her for a summer's day, through the culinary and cultural addresses she cherishes in Paris, and in which she loves to stroll, eat, chat and marvel.
Paris in cashmere with an iced coffee!
8:30 a.m. sharp! First stop, left bank, rue Payenne, in one of the Capital's most Swedish spots, Café Fika, nestled in the cobbled courtyard of the Swedish Institute. Välkomna! She can't resist their unmissable cinnamon rolls, which she always accompanies with homemade granola and iced coffee! And if you stop by for a snack, try their Prinsesstårta. It's a half-chantilly, half-custard delicacy with a core of raspberry confit married to marzipan. Stunning!
Fall for objects with a history
Just a few hundred meters away is Rue Charlot and our boutique, where Charlotte stops to say hello to Nicolas before indulging in one of her favorite pastimes: shopping at Alix D. Reynis, who has brought sculpture into everyday life through Limoges porcelain objects we use every day. From Empire plates to Napoleon dishes, it's impossible not to fall under the spell.
Charlotte wears the Ingrid cashmere top in Pale Pink, and the Astrid cashmere skirt in Oatmeal. Both models are also available in dozens of other colors!
Eating in an institution of macrobiotic cuisine
For lunch, Charlotte moves to rue Cardinale for an address with a hint of the avant-garde. Do you know Guenmai? Since the '80s, this cramped place has made us forget its smallness by immersing us in macrobiotic dishes where the art of balancing food with food is delightful. A non-guilty pleasure.
Charlotte is wearing our Maud cashmere tank top and Clara short-sleeved cardigan, in our Cloud color, a pretty sky blue.
A book and flowers
Metro Ségur, she stops off at the Librairie Valentin, rue Valentin Haüy. The best bookshop ever, for young and old alike, where Charlotte regularly snaps up a children's book for her daughter, Phoebe. And, before heading home, a quick detour to Oz Garden run by Cécile, a passionate florist and neighbor of our boutique on Place Furstemberg, to treat herself to a beautiful bouquet of seasonal flowers. Her guilty pleasure.
Charlotte wears our Isabella short-sleeved polo in Emerald, a pretty fir green.
