Perspectives: Trevor Roy’s Paris
From Hampstead to Pont Neuf, from South America to South East Asia, Trevor Roy’s path to Paris has been one of movement, curiosity, and reinvention. Now settled just steps from the Cheval Blanc, he combines the eye of a traveller with the instincts of a true Parisian. Between his two made-to-order floral houses — one in North America, one in Paris — Trevor has cultivated a rhythm of life that values refinement, intimacy, and discovery. His Paris, like his arrangements, is composed with care and an elegant restraint: a city revealed in quiet layers, full of subtle magic and timeless style.
A L’Epi D’Or
Slip behind a red curtain and you step into another era. A L’Epi D’Or is tiled floors, mirrored walls, and tables pressed close enough to spark conversation. The menu is unapologetically French, the service warm, and the crowd quietly eclectic — locals, artists and the occasional familiar face.
Le Fumoir
Across from the Louvre, Le Fumoir has one of the city’s best terraces. Inside, two wood-paneled dining rooms and a polished bar strike the balance between chic and relaxed. The menu keeps to French classics but with Scandinavian twists, making it just as good for long lunches as it is for late drinks.
Autista
Among Paris’s stealth designers, Autista stands apart. Their handmade jackets with custom details — right down to the buttons — are crafted for collectors who treat clothing as art. Discreet, timeless, and designed to last.
Jardin des Plantes
Despite its central location, the Jardin des Plantes is rarely crowded. With year-round gardens, historic greenhouses, and even a small zoo, it offers the chance to wander, breathe, and escape when the city feels relentless.
Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF) | Richelieu
For quiet inspiration, Trevor often heads to the BnF Richelieu. Its domed reading rooms and marble corridors are as captivating as its shelves, offering a literary and architectural escape in the heart of the 2nd arrondissement.
Trevor Roy
Founder of both Landeau and Fleurs de Roy, Trevor has reimagined the floral studio as a place of elegance and modern romance.
