A la Petite Fabrique

This shop doesn’t just sell chocolate, you can watch it being made. More than 40 flavours and novelty chocolates in all shapes.
A l’Olivier

For 150 years this shop has specialized in all kinds of oil, from the finest olive oil to massage oil.
Aladine

Fabulous displays of old kitchenware, boxes, jars, ashtrays… anything with a colourful old advertisement on it, from the 1960s back to whatever the owner can get her hands on.
Alain Carion

A wealth of meteorites, fossils and minerals. Some specimens are put to good use in imaginative jewellery.
Album

Specialist in comic books, which are big business in France, from Tintin to erotica.
Aligre Market

Away from the tourist bustle, this Bastille market, dubbed the “Notre-Dame of markets”, retains an authentic Parisian atmosphere. Every morning North African traders hawk inexpensive produce in the open-air market, and there’s an adjacent flea market and a covered market selling top-quality fare.
André Bissonet

A delightful hidden treasure is this shop/workshop where the owner lovingly restores antique musical instruments such as trumpets, harps and violins.
Au Levain du Marais

Exceptional baker producing traditional breads and pastries, and more unusual flavours such as a raisin rye bread.
Au Printemps

One of Paris’s two top department stores, Printemps opened in 1864. Its goods range from designer clothing and accessories, to middle-of-the-range labels and funky fashions, home decor and furniture. The sixth-floor tea room is crowned with a lovely Art Nouveau stained-glass cupola.
Au Verger de la Madeleine

Vintage wines are the speciality at this store. The owner will help you find a wine to match the year of any special occasion.
