Marais and the Bastille : Shopping

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.
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.
BHV

The Bazar de l’Hôtel de Ville is an upmarket all-round shopper’s paradise at which you can track down everything from DIY products to stylish underwear.
Chez Teil

Specializing in products from the Auvergne, mostly foodstuffs such as Auvergne sausages.
Délices

One of the best bakers in the Marais, almost worth having a picnic just as an excuse to try the croissants, baguettes and the cake-like walnut bread.
Emery & Cie

Stylish, coloured ceramics, tiles, lamps and other goods, run by an interior decorator.
Florence Finkelsztajn

The sister shop to the above offers a similar range, with freshly baked rye bread plus a deli.
