Where to stay during Fashion Week in Paris?

Paris Fashion Week takes place twice a year in the French capital. The first, the Spring/Summer fashion week, is held in September, and the second, the Autumn/Winter fashion week, takes place in January. Whether you are a fashionista or just curious to see what it's all about, you can plan a trip to Paris during this time to find out. This year, the Spring/Summer 2023 fashion week runs from September 26 to October 4.

Although it is very difficult to attend a runway show without an invitation, it is still possible to soak up the atmosphere of this special week by visiting or staying near the locations where the shows typically take place or where the stars and models are staying. Here are some of our favorite places to stay during this exciting event.

‍

The Champs-Élysées, the quintessential Parisian fashion boulevard

This is where it all began for this annual fashion event. The wide boulevard is lined with luxury shops and boutiques, as well as numerous restaurants and cafes. If you are looking for something more exclusive or want to rub shoulders with the celebrities attending Fashion Week events, this neighborhood offers excellent accommodation options to make you feel like a supermodel ready to hit the runway.

This large apartment with a terrace and a view of the Eiffel Tower is still available for the duration of Fashion Week. It is located just a ten-minute drive from the Champs-Élysées, and at 75 square meters, this short-term rental is considered an exceptional property in the heart of the 16th arrondissement. It can comfortably accommodate 4 people with its two double beds spread across two bedrooms. In this apartment, you will enjoy a stay in a home that many Parisians would dream of having.

Le Marais, the trendy neighborhood for Fashion Week

With its many showrooms and galleries, it is not uncommon for a fashion show to take place in Le Marais. This historic district of Paris has become the trendy neighborhood that many like to call the "bobos" (bohemian-bourgeois) area. Whether you like it or not, it is an integral part of the iconic locations for Paris Fashion Week, both for the spaces it offers for shows and for the accommodation options during this period. Plus, it is full of great spots and unique experiences to enjoy during a stay in Paris.

We offer this bright, cozy one-bedroom apartment near Place de la République in Paris. Located on the famous Avenue Parmentier, this apartment puts you close to Le Marais and all the trendy spots to visit and try out. It can also accommodate 4 people in a renovated, modern setting with small touches of color. For fashion lovers, it is close to designer boutiques that will make your day.

‍

The Grands Boulevards, the street in the heart of the shops

This commercial district might not be on your list if you are looking for apartments or weekend residences near Paris Fashion Week venues like the Palais de Tokyo or the Olympia theater, but it offers many options for tourists who want to go shopping during this special week. And who knows? You might spot a celebrity around a corner, as the Louis Vuitton show scheduled for October 3 is expected to take place at the Louvre Museum, located just a few minutes' walk from the Grands Boulevards.

The apartments we offer around the Grands Boulevards seem like they came straight out of a Netflix series featuring a certain Emily who just arrived from the United States. The first is a magnificent apartment with a balcony in the heart of Paris, decorated in a mix of old and new that gives it a certain charm. Its 54 square meters can accommodate 2 people in a very cozy atmosphere, day or night. We recommend waking up and drinking your coffee on its small balcony, which puts you at the level of the Parisian rooftops. You can enjoy the hustle and bustle of the capital while being in the quiet of your vacation rental.

This second apartment, located a 5-minute walk from the Grands Boulevards, is just as welcoming as the previous one and blends modern and old with the same skill, creating a soothing and warm atmosphere. It will be perfect for your stay in the capital. It can easily accommodate 6 people with its 4 single beds and one double bed spread across 3 separate bedrooms. You will have access to all of Paris thanks to the many metro stations near the property.

Now that you have seen our top picks for Paris Fashion Week, we hope you are ready to book your accommodation for the event! Keep in mind that with so many options, it can be difficult to decide on just one. We still advise you not to delay booking your short-term rental, as fashion week is approaching and rentals are becoming increasingly scarce. If you need more time to decide on the exact place to stay during this exciting event in Paris, we have other properties for rent that might also provide you with an exceptional stay.
