Inspiration

Shopping
We headed to Whole Foods, just nearby, to pick up some gourmet and healthy items from California that you can't find in France.

Out for a walk
If you can only go on one outing, this is the one. The Huntington is located just a stone's throw from your hotel and is sure to fascinate you: part library, part museum, and part botanical garden, it's a vast space where you'll love to wander, learn, and soak up the California sun.

Zen
The Chuan Spa is very popular: we recommend booking your treatments before your visit. Among the must-try experiences, treat yourself to a Pilates session. It’s an intense experience that’s sure to get you hooked on this practice.

In the suitcase

A gorgeous wide-brimmed hat and your best pair of sunglasses.
