La Petite Chaise
French Restaurant — Quartier Saint Thomas D Aquin (Paris)
À propos
La Petite Chaise, established in 1680, is Paris's oldest restaurant, nestled in the 7th arrondissement. This historic institution embodies French culinary tradition within an authentic 18th-century setting. Vaulted rooms and ancient woodwork create an intimate atmosphere where literary and political luminaries have dined, from Jean Racine to François Mitterrand. Chef Thibaut Repéto crafts traditional French classics: egg mayo, celery remoulade, coq au vin, duck breast with orange, and a delightful tarte Tatin. Each dish tells a story, each corner of the restaurant resonates with centuries of memories, making La Petite Chaise more than just a restaurant, but a living gastronomic heritage.

The oldest restaurant in Paris is guarded by its original iron gate in the 7th district La Petite Chaise continues to serve exquisite examples of classic French cuisine. Since its establishment in 1680 by Georges Rameau, a wine merchant, it has been a central meeting spot for political, social and artistic circles, hosting impromptu cabaret acts, heated political discussions — sometimes ending in arrest, and literary readings by such prominent writers as Colette. Diners pack the house for its slabs of foie gras, escargots and French onion soup capped with sharp gruyere cheese, truffled asparagus, decadent fish dishes and salads of boudin noir with fresh greens.

Dinner at La Petite Chaise and a great vintage store in Paris.
I landed in Paris, and the sun was shining—it was Paris at its best. We stayed at Chateau Voltaire and loved it. The decor is so chic, the location is great, and the price point wasn’t crazy. We were there to celebrate the launch of SuperSuede™ Blush—which, if you haven’t tried yet, you must. It’s the best powder blush I’ve ever used (yes, I’m biased—but still!) I was only there for a few days but I was surprised by how the beauty of the city filled my cup. The way Europeans invest in and value art and culture is just so different (I’ll go ahead and say, better) than Americans. It makes you thirsty for beauty in a way you didn’t even realize you could be. On day 1, I unpacked, saw my mom for coffee, and did a little shopping at Eres and Miu Miu. I always try and schedule a massage for my first day of travel to help with jet lag and my friend Monique recommended the spa at The Ritz. Wow. I truly had an incredible, next-level massage. The pool area is so gorgeous I wish I could have stayed to enjoy it more. I highly, highly recommend. On day 2, I went to The Row’s F/W presentation with my friend Kristina. As a Row super-fan it was a dream come true to visit their atelier. They carpeted the entire space with soft wall-to-wall pale blue-gray carpet which turned their marble floors into the chicest living room ever. There were no assigned seats but I got a cozy spot on a plush couch with a great view of the collection. The show was inspired by time at home and being cozy—very me. I wore The Row’s essential Igor pants and Sibem Sweater (both in black) underneath The Denver Trench in navy (see below). For accessories, I added YSL cat-eye sunglasses, Giavanni Rossi boots, the new Mira clutch from The Row—and of course, a full face of Saie. Want to see the outfit in action? Here’s a cute video. Denver trench, Igor pant, Sibem sweater, Glasses, Boots, Blush, Gloss, Ring After the show, we had dinner at La Petite Chaise, which was just divine. Definitely my favorite meal of the trip. Apparently, it’s the oldest restaurant in Paris, which is probably why LVMH acquired it. It feels like stepping into a room straight out of Les Miserables in the best way possible. I highly recommend the fois gras, steak frites, and chocolate mousse. Another night, we went to Le Bistro Paul Bert which was great… just not quite as great. The next day, I had a little alone time, which honestly feels like the ultimate luxury these days. I went for a walk to check out Son et Image, a vintage store I heard about from one of the super-chic French girls we invited to our event. It was a total gem. I picked up a pair of distressed Carhartts, which I plan to wear with heels out to dinner this spring. Definitely pin the shop for the next time you’re in town. I did a recap of what the girls are wearing in Paris here, but my overall takeaway was that less is more. Nothing super recognizable. And leather gloves. Will be back soon with my recap from Lech. xx Laney No posts
