Take A Walk ...
All the world’s greatest cities are wonderful walking cities, and Paris is one of the best.
The 6th arrondisment, posh St.Germain-des-Pres, is my personal favorite. Take a walk down any of it’s leading streets and discover a treasure trove. Rue du cherche Midi, for example, hosts Poilane, one of Paris best bakeries, shoe stores galore and two favorite casual pocketbook places, Groom and Ghinko. When there’s a sale, I stock up on triangular change purses in a rainbow of colors that make great gifts. There’s a chocolatier on the street that will tempt you also.
Other high profile streets in the area: antique heaven on Rue Du Bac and Rue de Grenelle, home to my favorite clothing boutique, Chacock (expensive, but clothes that you will wear for many years). |
