    We went to pick out books for our daughter and get her a tshirt. I wish we had known it was here when she was with us a few years ago. She's an avid reader. They stamp the books and it's a great souvenir. They have a huge selection. There may be a line but it goes quickly.

    We whizzed by this on a bus tour through the area and thought this was a great display and really eye catching.

    Amazing place, like a natural history museum where you can buy the exhibits! It is beautiful just to visit. If you are interested in entomology, you have hit the motherlode. Many beautiful specimens to choose from. The staff are passionate about what they do and are very helpful. A must see in Paris!

    We came here to buy a specific upscale product and we successfully found it. Along the way, we loved to wander around and see the beautiful display of delicious food. One of the best indoor markets in town. Prices are high.

    Was nice. Found all that I needed. Expensive yes, to be expected. They should also think about selling organic seeds there as well. The apples were delicious

    Grear Souvenir shop. It has mostly the same things all the shops have but it is locally owned and the couple are great. They were the only shop with USA flags since we were going to an Olympic event later in the day.

    This is not only a shop, it’s an experience. This is where you buy kitchenware that can last a lifetime and be heirlooms for your grandchildren. Take a step back in time and savour the magic of ambling through a wondrous place from a bygone time. Invest your time, don’t rush, be patient. Be kind to the staff and they’ll reciprocate. Don’t expect modern frivolous frills and salespersons haggling you… for one, you search for the price of items in old paper catalogues hanging at the end of the shelves. Lay your eyes on the breathtaking quality, variety and sheer volume of products, and soon you’ll be planning to return.

    True to old French fashion, the hotel we stayed in didn’t have lifts, it only has one spiral staircase. I understand this is Paris but not having the option for elevators makes travelers do the hard work of carrying the heavy suitcases. So, before you book a hotel or an airbnb, check if there’s a lift.. that is if, you’re like me with a chronic back pain which makes lifting things unbearable.
    I would recommend getting on a hop—on, hop-off bus on your first day if it’s your first time. The bus would take you around the famous attractions so it would be easier for you to navigate around.. once you have gone through the tourists go-to, try the food and do some shopping.. Samaritaine is located right across Luis Vuitton and is a great shopping center. Try it!

    Btw, around the Eiffel tower, you can get your photos taken and have it printed out like an old press, newspaper-like style, for free. A small donation would be enough. Watch out for these lovely ladies carrying huge, old fashioned cameras.

    In most restaurants and some bakeshops, croissants are served for breakfast only, that’s until 1100H, however, there are some which serves it whole day long. Eric Kayser shop serves a wide variety of pastries and coffee.

    I spent a good 3 days in Paris only. Overall, my experience in Paris was a good one! Dint experience the dreaded pick pockets! 😀 but ALWAYS make sure to be on your guard especially when boarding or walking around the metro. I’ve experienced angry people just spewing angry French words at each other inside the metro and it’s causing a commotion. Make sure to put your bags in front of you and protect it all the time.

    I still have a lot to explore in France and would want to go back for more.

    Having been to paris eleven times I wanted to camp out in the la mare district and do something unusual. I stopped buying trinkets a long time ago and now get a piece of jewelry on my adventures. So I came across this experience and booked it. Moana is the artist and you go to her studio flat where she warmly welcomes you and treats you to home made food and wine. I was lucky to have this experience all to myself . You create the earings then she makes them and ships them to you. There is a upcharge for the larger pieces that I happly paid. This truly is a one of a kind, authentic and a very cool experience. Thank you Moana!

    Wonderful cheese shop with very helpful staff. Definitely place to stop by and buy your cheese and then go a couple doors down and get your meat, bread and wine. All the makings for a nice meal.

    This is an amazing store. In a courtyard, like a treasures cave. So many crystals you could get dizzy if you're sensitive, but they are all so beautiful it's worth it.
    The staff is really kind and caring. And know their craft.
    I used to go there a lot, ten to fifteen years ago. But now, I live at the other end of Paris, so it's much more convenient to order what I need online.
    It's always the right crystal who land in your hand anyway, so it doesn't make that much difference except I don't get to see the beautiful large pieces in display that are really impressive.
    Overall, one of the best place on earth to buy your crystals friends. So many of them :)

    Une véritable caverne d'Ali Baba, caché dans une cour interieure. La boutique est petite, mais le nombre de pierres contenu dans ce petit espace est impressionnante. Si vous êtes un peu sensible aux energies, vous risquez d'avoir un peu le vertige, mais la qualité des pierres, leur diversité et la joie de pouvoir les contempler en vrai compense le shoot énergetique.
    Le personnel est particulièrement gentil et attentioné en plus d'avoir une connaissance impeccable du monde des mineraux. Si vous ne pouvez ou ne souhaitez pas vous déplacer, leur site internet est très bien conçu. Vous loupez juste la possibilité de passer du temps avec les geodes d'amethyste et autre pieces impressionnantes.

    This place has great atmosphere and many restaurants/shops. The whole district is quite nice. There are a few nice passageways in the area.

    The shop was absolutely packed as was the tea salon. Luckily we did not have to wait long for a table. I tried to book beforehand but told they do not take bookings. We had the afternoon tea Noel with an extensive tea menu. Service and food was excellent. Shame the shop was so busy that it was impossible to browse the shop.

    We initially went to the one that is still advertised as a tea room but when we got there it had been shut for a year. We were told by another Mariage Frere shop to go there.

    I placed an order for a poster but haven't been able to either get the poster, a refund or even a response. Avoid.
