Grace Kelly's Paris: A Princess's Capital

The Hitchcock Connection

Grace Kelly filmed To Catch a Thief on the French Riviera but her heart belonged to Paris. The city's haute couture houses dressed her for every Cannes appearance. Walk Avenue Montaigne and imagine her stepping out of Dior in a full-skirted New Look dress.

The Hermès Legacy

The Kelly Bag was born here — named after her when she used it to shield her pregnancy from paparazzi. The Hermès flagship on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré still displays the original. A vintage Hermès scarf from the same era can be found in the Marais vintage boutiques.

Afternoon Tea

The Ritz does afternoon tea the way Grace would have wanted it: delicate sandwiches, proper china, a harpist in the corner.
