Expert Tips for Paris Shopping

  • #

    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."

    Vilac: "There's a lot of great shopping to be had in the Palais Royal so set your compass first to Vilac and then fan out along both sides of the picturesque gardens. When you start here, you get the most important gifts - for the kids - crossed off the list. Which saves you oodles of time to peruse the other lovely shops of gloves, bags, designer wear and perfumes. Stop for a coffee and a pastry at one of the delightful cafes here, too."

    Huygens: "These products are all natural based and the fragrances are long-lasting. Of course, you pay for quality, but in this case a little bit goes a long way and lasts a good amount of time."

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.
