TRAVEL GUIDE | CABANA TRAVEL | WORLD OF CABANA
As we celebrate our new Summer Collection with Destree, founder Geraldine Guyot Arnault invites us into 'her' Paris, sharing her favorite places and spaces, from a tea boutique that takes you on an immersive experience, to the gallery she frequents for inspiration and the restaurant where you'll be served a meal that feels like home.

My Favorite Place to Stay: Château Voltaire
Tucked away in the heart of Paris, Château Voltaire is a dream. The hotel is designed by the architectural studio, Festen — whose work I deeply admire.
My Favorite Restaurant: L’Auberge des Crus
More than just a restaurant, L’Auberge des Crus holds a special place in my heart. Run by a dear friend, it offers soulful, seasonal cuisine rooted in tradition. It’s where I go for a meal that feels like home.

My Favorite Café: Cuppa Café
Cuppa Café is my little heaven. Whether I’m stopping in for a quick espresso or lingering over a matcha, it always delivers. Run by a Japanese team, it has the perfect balance of excellent coffee, amazing food for a quick bite but also a charming interior, and great atmosphere.
My Favorite Gallery: Galerie Jacques Lacoste
A true gem for design lovers, Galerie Jacques Lacoste specializes in 20th-century decorative arts, with a particular focus on French modernist pieces. It's always a source of inspiration.

My Favorite Shop: Le Conservatoire des Hémisphères
If tea is a journey, then Le Conservatoire des Hémisphères is where it begins. More than a boutique, it’s a fully immersive experience. The atmosphere is serene, the teas are exceptional, and every visit feels like a unique and refined ritual.
My Favorite Antique Store: Blanche Patine
For lovers of vintage tableware—especially terre de fer—Blanche Patine is an essential stop. Run by Cécile, known to all as Blanche, the shop is full of rare, beautiful pieces she knows by heart. Her emotional connection to each object is touching, and her passion is beautifully contagious.

My Favorite Hidden Treasure: Korean Beauty Boutiques
The Korean cosmetics shop is one of my faves. They offer some of the most advanced skincare products from Korea—that you can’t find elsewhere other than Korea. A must for skincare lovers.
My Favorite Way to Spend a Weekend
My perfect weekend starts with an early morning Pilates class to clear my mind. Then it’s off to Les Puces, where wandering through antique stalls always brings unexpected inspiration. I meet my family for lunch, visit a museum or galleries in the afternoon, and stop by our Destree boutique in the 1st arrondissement.
But more than anything, I love walking—just spending the day exploring the beautiful streets of Paris. That, to me, is the city’s greatest luxury.
