You won't come away empty-handed! This is your chance to experience Paris shopping at its best - the locations known only to Parisians - and the opportunity to experience what makes Paris so unique.
Two perfumeries are included - a unique shop offering vintage fragrances & one with scents designed by France's first female "nose". Next we'll visit an antique tea shop (dating from 1692).

This is a unique shopping experience located in the trendy Marais shopping district. You will visit small, offbeat boutiques which offer handmade, artisanal products that you won't find elsewhere. For example, an antique shop (dating from 1692) offering over 200 varieties of designer teas. Or a French "nose", a perfume specialist, who sells vintage fragrances from the 1930s & 40s (including one designed for Princess Grace of Monaco). You will taste fusion chocolates in a Japanese sweet shop, visit one of the city's most gifted cheese makers, see gorgeous French pastries that are as beautiful on the eye as they are on the tongue, and sample honies from around the world. Men will enjoy the workshop of an Italian leather craftsman who custom designs belts right in the store, or an artisan who customizes pen-knives with unique tattoo-like engravings. You will try on designer handbags, made in France, whose very reasonable prices start at 90€ (yes, you read that right)! Along the way, we will experience the charms of this lovely neighbourhood, with its baroque mansions & vest pocket parks.
