Hailing from the South of France, Solène Verrot has always had an eye for beauty. The glowin’ globetrotter is currently the director EstheClinic Hong Kong, a Parisian beauty salon with locations in Hong Kong and Singapore, which she travels back and forth between France and Asia for in pursuit of the latest pain free, non-invasive and aesthetic treatments. From easy-peasy hair removal to age-reversing facials, EstheClinic has become a go-to spot for ladies wanting to look their best.
Besides beauty, Solène is also an expert on Paris. For our latest edition of LUXE Insider, she shares six of our her favourite spots in the City of Love:
Le Plume Restaurant
This unique rooftop in Rive Droite offers an amazing panoramic view over Paris. An oasis in the middle of the city, enjoy Japanese food restyled the French way.
Insider tip: Have a tipple on the rooftop before dinner, and don’t miss the sole tempura and pastries by the legendary Pierre Hermé.
Serge Thoraval Jewelry
Looking for an amazing French jewellery brand? You can’t go wrong with Serge Thoraval. An artist who has collaborated with Yves Saint Laurent, Thierry Mugler, and Lanvin in the past, all jewellery is handmade in France in their own workshop.

The Terrace at Galeries Lafayette Bar
Another favourite rooftop spot of mine is the eighth floor of Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann, with a breathtaking view over Paris and its most beautiful monuments: Opéra Garnier, the Eiffel Tower, Sacré Cœur, and Notre Dame.
Insider tip: Go during sunset for an experience you won’t soon forget.
