Six times a year, Fashion Week sets the pace in Paris. From March 3 to 11, fashion lovers from all over the world gather in Paris to see the catwalks of the major fashion houses. It’s not uncommon to come across people with the craziest, most extravagant looks during this period… But not everyone is lucky enough to receive an invitation to admire the latest creations from the designers of the moment. Fortunately, it’s possible to live this crazy fashion week without spending a cent! Here are our ideas.
Enjoy free coffee at Repetto’s ephemeral CaféRose during Fashion Week
For Women’s Fashion Week Autumn-Winter 2025-2026, Repetto is opening its ephemeral Café Rose in the Marais district.

A gourmet and elegant break between two fashion shows, paying homage to Rose Repetto, the founder of the famous ballet slipper brand. A must-see spot for fashionistas and sweet tooths alike.
