The fantasy

This Parisienne makes us all dream. She is the one that makes us turn around on the street, the one who is naturally distinguished and has the potential chic that stands out. You decide to be that kind of gal by going out to lunch at l’Esplanade, side by side with the Paris that counts. Go for it!

The snag

Maybe it’s because you showed up on a Vélib’ bike... Not sure. Still, the snooty hostess asks you: “did you reserve ?”, and seats you directly at the table behind the stairs. Perfect to make you feel awful.

The attitude to adopt

While talking on your hands-free kit, come out of your ultra couture Opel Adam (the most trendy Parisienne car) with a leg flashing style worthy of Lady Di and star sunglasses, hand the keys over with a big smile to the valet parking kid and walk in with determination. You will immediately be placed on the terrace next to Natalia Vodianova. Just do it.

The good address?

Monsieur Bleu - 20 avenue de New York 75116 Paris
