Paris Fashion Week: A guide on where to eat great food

Paris Fashion Week: A guide on where to eat great food

Paris Fashion Week is arguably the most glamorous of the four international fashion events. From 28th February until 8th March, celebrities, designers, bloggers, buyers and PR people from all around the world are in town to attend exclusive catwalk shows and presentations.

While you may think that most of the action and fun is in the show spaces and afterparties, the restaurants of the French capital offer equal excitement: just on a plate rather than a runway..
