By now, we’ve gone to a mystery bookshop, the Venice boardwalk and a spiritual mecca with Chanel to experience a day in the life of Gabrielle Chanel in 2017. Our last stop on the tour was in Paris (natch) where we sat down with Marie Ange Casta in the legendary Lapérouse restaurant in the 6th arrondissement to break down how she things Coco would conquer Paris in current day.

If you could bring her along on your perfect day, where would you take her?
“We would go alongside ‘les quais de seine.’”
What do you think she would say about the current wave of feminism?
“She would be the first to militate in favor of feminism. And she would say that the fight is not over.”
