Librairie Gourmande

Foodies should head for this haven, where cookbooks in several languages are available, along with posters and other food-related items.
Librairie l’rbre à Lettres

Beautiful bookshop, though the content is on the serious side, concentrating on art, philosophy and politics.
Librairie Maeght

Specialist in books on art adjoining the Maeght art gallery, with a good collection of posters, postcards and other items.
Librairie Présence Africaine

Specialist on books on Africa, as the name suggests. Good information point, too, if you want to eat African food or hear African music.
Librairie Ulysse

Today Paris, tomorrow the world. This eccentric travel bookshop will take you there with thousands of titles in French and English – including many on Paris itself.
L’Épicerie

This tiny shop packs in a great array of gourmet delights, from orange sauce to speciality vinegars and mustards, to chocolate “snails”, all prettily packaged.
L’rt du Bureau

If your desk is your altar, you’ll find everything you could possibly need here, and it’s all in the most modern designs. In fact, this shop is worth visiting for the design aspects alone.
Marché aux Puces de St-Ouen

Every Saturday to Monday the largest antiques market in the world comes alive. There are actually 13 markets here: the oldest, Marché Vernaison, is the most charming; Marché Malik sells vintage clothing. Others offer furniture, jewellery and paintings.
Marché Biologique

This organic Sunday morning market brings together some of the best farmers in the region.
Marché Richard-Lenoir

Every Thursday and Sunday morning, this market stretches along the tree-lined boulevard that separates the Marais from the Bastille. Sunday is the best day, when locals come to socialize as well as shop for foods such as fish, meat, bread and cheese. Some stalls sell North African and other international fare.
