It’s Friday afternoon. How are you rolling into the weekend?
Mornings are always a rush: organizing, prepping orders, and making sure everything is perfect. But it’s all done with passion and a great team spirit. The love of beauty and well-being is at the heart of our work, from the scent of freshly cut flowers to the harmony of our arrangements. Despite the hustle, there’s a certain balance of precision meets pleasure so we can offer the best to our clients.
What’s on the agenda for today?
The day always starts with a good coffee and a team briefing to set priorities. Then, we review all the orders to make sure everything is perfectly planned. We take care of the shop’s exterior, styling the plants to create a welcoming and harmonious space. Once that’s done, it’s time to prepare bouquets — selecting flowers, designing compositions, wrapping them up — so that every creation matches our clients’ expectations. Throughout the day, we stay alert to incoming orders and walk-ins to keep service smooth and responsive.
Any restaurant plans today, tonight, this weekend?
I’m heading to Restaurant H near the Bastille, a must-visit for gastronomy lovers. Created by the talented Hubert Duchenne, it offers a refined yet bold cuisine where every dish is a true work of art. The experience is unique: impeccable service, an elegant atmosphere, and a menu full of surprising flavor combinations. For a weekend escape, I recommend Ogata Paris in the Haut Marais. It’s a beautifully designed space that blends art, design, and creativity in a serene setting.
Any weekend getaways?
If I want to spend a weekend outside Paris, I love going to Mont-Saint-Michel. The medieval ramparts and alleyways, as well as the Bay of Mont Saint Michel, the view is stunning and magical.
What was your last great vacation?
An unforgettable getaway to Rome, where the mix of history and modernity is mesmerizing. The cobbled streets, ancient ruins, and warm atmosphere of trattorias make every moment a discovery.
What’s a recent big-ticket purchase you love?
A Puzzle bag by Loewe! I absolutely love the brand.
What store or service do you always recommend?
One of Sézane’s Appartements in Paris. It’s an immersive space where Parisian design, style, and personalized service come together.
