173, Boulevard St.Germain, Paris

 

Yes, this is the address of the new flagship store of Ralp Lauren in Paris!

What a gorgeous building, isn’t it!

13

The building has been restored over the past four years and includes six floors of retail space, including a restaurant in the old stable’s called RALPH’S which will strive to serve the best burgers and fries in the city!!!

Sharing pictures of that restaurant is what I wanted to do today! I love the exterior of the building as well as the interior of the restaurant!

Let’s have a look…

The courtyard of the ‘hôtel particulier’.

What do you think? Can you imagine sitting here to have dinner?

I love the way of mixing the seats, upholstered in the typical RL fabric, with the wrought iron French chairs.

Fabulous door!

 

And on below some pictures of the interior of the restaurant in the RL spirit of course.

For those who love to see the making of the new Ralph Lauren flagship store in Paris, you can watch this video.

 

Well my friends, when we ever join in Paris, we could meet at RALPH’S, boulevard St. Germain,

…tasting this chilled sweet pea soup with minted crème fraîche.

Or…

…enjoying this ‘frozen margarita’, the favorite cocktail of Mr Ralph Lauren.

Cheers!

See you in Paris !!!

  2. Thanks for the lovely tour...I will definitely stop by in September. The cafe looks fabulous and I can't wait to see it full of diners.

  3. Prachtig! Ik heb de RL-stoffen altijd al mooi gevonden, vooral die met de meer ´landelijke´ prints/strepen enz. Het terras ziet er alleszins heel uitnodigend uit. Echte grandeur!

  4. Als jij vast een tafeltje reserveert, pak ik vast de koffers! Wel op een mooie zonnige dag, want ik wil graag buiten zitten :-)

    Lieve groet, Ingrid

  5. Greet !
    Très chic ! très chic... ce Ralph Lauren ! Belle ambiance sur la terrasse.
    Je vais bientôt à Paris avec ma fille... mais ma bourse ne sera pas à la hauteur... J'aime bien aussi le dessin aquarellé.

  6. Wat een prachtig gebouw, ik ben dol op dit soort bouwwerken en dan de binnenkant, echt prachtig. Parijs staat nog op mijn lijstje om te bezoeken, ik ben daar jaren terug met collega's geweest, maar dat was maar 1 avond en dat is natuurlijk veels te kort, wil er nog wel een keer met mijn man naar toe.
    Je heb je blog ook mooi verandert.

    Fijne week.
    Lieve groet, Mea

  10. Greet,
    What a wonderful place to shop and enjoy a bite to eat. I would love to eat either on the patio or in the beautiful dining room. Either place would be so fun!
    Thank you for the chance to see it.
    Hugs, Cindy S

  14. Incredible! I am speechless, to be honest. Ralph Lauren is such a classic look, with a refined sense and beautiful details. I love what they have done here, and hope that they are well-received.

    Thanks for sharing :)

  18. Beautiful building - I hope to visit soon. It fun was seeing the table settings. We actually make a very similar Louis XIV style hurricane as the ones they used on the tables. Our are somewhat larger though. Apologies for the link, but these are them: http://www.fpvictoria.com/store/index.php/over-scale-louis-xiv-style-hurricane.html

    Funnily enough, someone from the NYC office just purchased this model in the black nickel finish. Thank you for such a great post!
