Paris is one of the fashion capitals of the world. High fashion and luxury brand boutiques are mainly located in the Golden Triangle between Avenue Marceau, the Champs-Elysees and Avenue Montaigne. The city is known for haute couture, but you can also find dozens of small and competitively priced boutiques in each district. It's a fashionista’s paradise!
The big shopping malls include Forum des Halles and Carrousel du Louvre in the 1st district, Passage du Havre in the 9th district, Bercy Village in the 12th district, Italie2 in the 13th district, Tour Montparnasse in the 15th district and Les 4 Temps at La Défense.
Another noteworthy shopping location is Boulevard Haussmann which is home to the famous stores Galeries Lafayette and Printemps. The Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche department store in the elegant 7th district and the BHV department store in the 4th district also deserve a mention. Like La Samaritaine (currently closed for renovations), these stores first opened their doors in the 19th century and created a whole new culture of commerce.

Partly covered and partly outdoors, this charming market has existed at this location for over 100 years. You don’t necessarily have to buy flowers or plants to take home – just wander around and enjoy the sweet scents and fresh air.

Le Marais is gourmet heaven. Locals line up all along the sidewalk of rue des Rosiers for falafel, and you can also pick up a mean pretzel. Look out for some amazing artisanal chocolate shops and specialty patisseries.

As it served as an enormous wine marketplace for more than a century, this place is full of history. The white stone wine storehouses of the "Cour St Emilion" are reminiscent of this era. For architecture lovers, you must see the buildings by renowned architects.

Down the hill you’ll find Paris' only remaining vineyard, planted in the 1930s to prevent urban encroachment, which still has a harvest party every year. You can also find a number of small museums such as the Museum of Montmartre housed in the oldest building in the neighbourhood – la Maison du Bel Air.

While I have nothing against the famous Ladurée macarons, when I first tasted Pierre Hermé macarons I immediately became addicted to this brand. Which brand is best is a hot topic amongst Parisians. I advise you to try both and then pick a side. I’d be very curious to know your opinion!

Even if you’re not a serial shopper, you’re bound to enjoy the Art Nouveau architecture. Instead of losing your mind in the crowds, focus on the cupola and the artistic details – you’ll discover another side to this consumerist icon. For those seeking calmness, you can find shelter at the bookshop on the sixth floor.

The downside is that it’s expensive. However it's worth a visit if only to witness the diversity and the way the shelves are organised to seduce customers (a work of food merchandising genius). Here you can find products from other countries that you won’t find elsewhere in Paris. The selection is wide and amazing.

It’s a pleasant experience to sit at the Italian counter and enjoy freshly cooked homemade pasta, or to taste a traditional bento at the Japanese counter. Not all meals are very good quality, though the ambiance is relaxed and enjoyable. With food from Lebanon, Morocco and even the West Indies, it’s an adventure for the taste buds!

It’s not often you’ll find a place this big in the city! Its uniqueness also resides in its underground atmosphere, just like in Berlin or San Francisco. As you pass through the door, a long corridor leads you to two huge rooms where you can sit on recycled sofas and chairs with world music rocking the stereo. The entrance fee is up to you!

The first Meert shop opened in 1761 in Lille, a city located about two hours North from Paris. They started offering the vanilla waffles that made their reputation from 1849. The Parisian boutique was opened only in 2010! The empire style decoration is also worth a visit.

This isn’t your typical supermarket. It specialises in Asian foods – you won’t find anything else. The Tang Frères (Tang Brothers) chain supplies many Asian restaurants in Paris, though it’s also open to the public. The shelves are full of exotic temptations – I love coming here in summer to buy fresh coconuts.

The décor is very authentic and the pastries are delicious! The croissants are especially good. You might also be tempted to taste one of the numerous pastries like the exquisite éclairs or the mouth-watering tarts. Mille-feuille lovers like myself will also find happiness.

I love to come here to do work on the second floor. They have a cafe with unlimited coffee, great music for staying on task and the design of the place is beautiful. Awesome styles in the boutique and there's an event space on the third floor with cool art. Everything you need in one place!
