Caroll

Just up the street from the Bendel's-like Le Bon Marche department store, is this little boutique called Caroll. Although Caroll is not at all so little, as they count hundreds of shops throughout France. It is mainly a dress, skirt and blouse shop. With some nice accessories like bags, belts and scarves thrown in for accent. These fashions are always up-to-date and, at one and the same time, classic. This is the dress shop you turn to when you have dinner with the in-laws, a church function to attend or a business meeting to conduct. Here you will find that French je ne sais quoi but nothing flashy, nothing too sexy and nothing over-the-top. In other words, a wardrobe from Caroll's is a safe bet and you are sure to be in style but not looking like a fashionista. These shops are in many of the fashionable quartiers.
