Paris’s Best: Shops and Markets

By turns ultra-conservative and wackily avant-garde, Paris
is a treasure trove of quality shops and boutiques. Time-
honoured emporia mix with modern precincts in a city
that buzzes with life in its inner quarters, not least in the
markets. Here you can buy everything from exotic fruit
and vegetables to fine china and vintage treasures. Whether
you’re shopping for handmade shoes, perfectly cut clothes
or traditionally made cheeses, or simply soaking up the
atmosphere, you won’t be disappointed.
