Paris' Top 16
Specialised Shopping
7
Paris, like any major city, offers international chains (including icons that origin-
ated here). But what really sets Parisian shopping apart is its incredible array
of specialist shops. Candles from the world's oldest candle maker, pigments from
the art supply shop that developed 'Klein blue' with the artist, soft leather handbags
made in the hip Haut Marais, green-metal
bouquiniste
(secondhand bookshop)
stalls lining the banks of the Seine and fashions displayed beneath the stained-
glass dome of
grande dame
department store Galeries Lafayette are just some of
the goodies in store.
