Marquise de Sévigné

A superb chocolate shop and salon, where you can have a tea, coffee or hot chocolate at the bar and sample the sweets too.
MaxMara

The chic Italian womenswear label promotes a sleek, well-groomed look with beautiful fabrics. Suits, coats, evening wear and the trendier Sportmax line are sold here.
Musée d’Orsay Bookshop

As well as its wonderful collections, the museum has a bewilderingly large and busy art bookshop (see Musée d’Orsay).
Nina Ricci Mode

After treating yourself to the gorgeous lingerie or jewellery, go round the corner on rue François 1er to The Ricci Club for menswear or the discount shop where last year’s fashions are sold.
Papeterie Saint Sabin

Parisian stationery shops are a class apart, and here you will find stylish notebooks, pens, pads and other tasteful items.
Pierre Hermé Paris

Here are some of the city’s very finest cakes and pastries, including what is said to be the best chocolate gâteau in Paris.
Place de la Madeleine

This is a gourmand’s delight. Some of the most delectable speciality food shops in Paris are dotted around the edges of this square, including the famous Fauchon supermarket and the smaller Hédiard. There’s Maille for mustard, Kaspia for caviar, Marquise de Sévigné for chocolates and La Maison de la Truffe for truffles.
Poilâne

Get the best bread for your picnic, made from the recipe of the late king of bread-makers, Lionel Poilâne.
Pylones Boutique

Wild about rubber? That’s the magic material for the whimsical jewellery and accessories sold here, along with baby bibs and novelty gifts.
Rue de Buci

The artist Picasso reputedly did his shopping at this daily morning market in the heart of St-Germain. The huge fruit and vegetable stalls are of high quality but of greater interest are the food shops opening on to the street, which sell specialist and regional fare. You can also buy prepared Italian dishes and delicious pastries.
