Expert Tips for Paris Shopping

  • #

    Les 4 Temps: "Stores stay open until 8:30 pm. This is the shopping center that has long been the favorite of resident expats, at least up until Beaugrenelle opened up over on the Left Bank. It is still a shopping destination of reference and also offers the requisite dining options and a cinema."

  • #

    Centre Commercial Saint Lazare Paris: "Turning this train station into an indoor shopping mall really sealed this area of Paris from its historical past as the main shopping district of Paris into its undisputed future as the same. This venue is now anchored by 80 boutiques and you can still catch your train to the beaches of Normandy or the wharfs of Brittany from its platforms."

  • #

    Longchamp: "This Longchamp boutique occupies prime Paris real estate and places you squarely in the gilded shopping area of rue St. Honore just near Place Madeleine. What's so perfect about getting your Longchamp bag in Paris is that they are sure to have the absolute newest styles on hand and in stock. Meaning, you'll have that "it" bag well before any of your friends do."

About Paris Shopping

Paris Shopping can be simplified into an easy equation of an area or a neighborhood for a category. Example : fine jewelry and watches, head to Place Vendôme. Luxury designer-wear, it’s Rue St.-Honoré or Avenue Montaigne. For perfume, you’ll find a high concentration of the world’s best pefume boutiques on Rue des Francs-Bourgeois in the Marais. For antiques and top-end home design it’s Rue Saint Pères and environs in St.-Germain-des-Prés.

For the foodies head to rue Montorgeuil just behind Les Halles, La Grande Epicerie which is the food emporium of the Left Bank’s Le Bon Marché department store, or the shops like La Maison de la Truffe and Fauchon that encircle Place de la Madeleine.

A wine lover is sure to delight in the many wine shops in Paris and for the sheer pleasure of the vibrant colors and fragrances of flowers, a stroll through the Marché aux Fleurs on the Ile de la Cité is joy itself. The beloved Ile St.-Louis is just a hop-and-a-skip from there, so why not top it off with a stroll around its shops, not forgetting to pick up some treats at Berthillon and Première Pression Provence for souvenirs or as gifts.
