Paris, France

Ritz Paris

To reach L’Espadon, the only Michelin-starred restaurant on Place Vendôme, requires a stroll through Ritz’s Grand Jardin. Eugénie Béziat, who was awarded a Michelin star in 2024, cooks there in front of the windows of the open-plan kitchen, using vegetables from the hotel’s own kitchen garden in Versailles and incorporating memories of time spent in Africa and Provence into her menus. In the afternoon, tea is served in the Salon Proust, where François Perret’s madeleine with a molten centre is a contemporary take on the madeleine from Proust’s famous novel. Head to the Comptoir gift shop, near the square, to take a box home with all seven flavours.
