We're thrilled to bring you the first installment of our Travels with an Editor series—starting with my upcoming trip to Paris. Along with my posts on house tours and designer Q and A's on Remodelista, you can expect a trip to the flower market, city hikes, and visits to public parks.
But why Paris? It all started with my infatuation with stylist Clarisse Demory, whose blog, Ensuite, I've been reading for as long as I can remember. Then there was ceramicist Cécile Daladier with her captivating garden (mirror ponds galore) and Quarterly Studio Parties. I was hooked I lived in Paris briefly for a year a while back, but I had not seen the city like this before—a design community with a very under-the-radar approach. So forget the Eiffel Tower and walks along the Seine (OK, I'll be doing that too...again)—because Paris offers so much more than that.
That said, some of our best sources have come from you, our readers; it seems like everyone has a Paris story. I'd love to know your favorite florist, garden shop, and afternoon stroll in Paris. (Add them to the comments box below).
N.B.: Want to know what I'm up to in Paris? Follow Remodelista on Instagram, @Remodelista on Twitter, and on Facebook all week (through May 10) and stay tuned for our Paris issue the first week of June. A bientôt.
