Rue de Buci Market

If your tastes are refined, head for this chic, daily market where you’ll find the very best regional produce, wine, pastries and everything else for the perfect picnic (see La Closerie des Lilas).
Rue Mouffetard

One of the oldest street markets in Paris winds downhill through the Latin Quarter every Tuesday to Sunday morning. Although this formerly cheap and Bohemian market has been discovered as a tourist spot, it retains its charm, the narrow street lined with colourful food stalls and speciality shops. There are also good restaurants in the quieter side streets.
Ryst Dupeyron

A specialist wine shop, selling French wines, spirits and liqueurs and champagne.
Sacha Finkelsztajn

Try the freshly made cheesecake called vatrouchka , or other cakes and pastries.
Shakespeare and Co

Bibliophiles spend hours in the rambling rooms of Paris’s renowned English-language bookshop. There are books in other languages too and poetry readings most Mondays at 8pm.
Tea & Tattered Pages

An excellent venue for a relaxed afternoon’s browsing among thousands of English-language books; you can have a cuppa, too.
The Filofax Centre

The name says it all, for the ubiquitous binder that palmtop organizers have not ousted completely. Also stationery, pens and associated items.
The Red Wheelbarrow Bookstore

An English-language bookshop where you can pick up that translated French classic you may have been inspired to read.
The Village Voice

North American bias, but works by writers from around the world as well.
Valentino

The Milanese designer’s range of sophisticated clothes for the society set and casual fashions for the younger Miss Valentino label are displayed in this elegant marble boutique.
