Kayser

If you don’t want to make up your own picnic then try a ready-made sandwich from this bakery. Mouth-watering combinations include goat’s cheese with pear.
La Chaiserie du Faubourg

Bastille has always been the area for furniture makers, and this chair repair shop keeps the tradition alive.
La Crèmerie

This splendid wine shop is based in a late 19th-century dairy, worth seeing in its own right. The owners will happily advise you on good bargains and vintage wines.
La Ferme Saint Aubin

Cheese in all shapes and sizes from all over France. An aromatic delight.
La Hune

Landmark literary hangout. Good collections on art, photography and literature.
La Maison de la Truffe

France’s finest black truffles are sold here during the winter truffle season, and you can get preserved truffles and other delicacies the rest of the year.
La Maison du Miel

The “house of honey”, family-owned since 1908, is the place to try speciality honeys, to spread on your toast or your body in the form of soaps and oils.
Ladurée

A splendid belle époque tea salon that has been serving the best macaroons in Paris since 1862.
Lafitte

Preserved and packaged poultry products such as foie gras and goose confit are the speciality here, but there is a range of other items. A good place for gifts for foodie friends.
Le Bon Marché

Paris’s first department store was founded on the Left Bank in 1852, its structure partially designed by Gustave Eiffel (see Eiffel Tower). Today it’s even more hip than its competitors, with an in-store boutique featuring avant-garde fashions and music. It also has designer clothes, its own line of menswear and the enormous La Grande Epicerie food hall.
