Charles Jourdan British shoe flair
23 rue François Premier, 8ème • 01 47 20 81 28
www.charles-jourdan.com Open 10:30-7 Mon-Sat
Long known for its elegant shoes, the 83-year-old
French house decided to update and appointed
Patrick Cox as design director in 2003. Cox's new look
for Jourdan is sexy, shiny and graphic: a touch of the
60s (black patent) and the 70s (pink and perspex),
while not forgetting the timeless designs.

Erès make a splash
2 rue Tronchet, 8ème • 01 47 42 28 82
www.eres.fr Open 10-7 Mon-Sat
If you cringe at the thought of donning a swimsuit,
Erès is a must. This chi-chi shop is one reason why so
many Frenchwomen look good on the beach: its
perfectly cut bathing suits in appealing colours are
flattering beyond belief, and bikini tops and bottoms
are sold separately. They also do a range of underwear.

Created by young painter Noémie Rocher, this make-
up store puts an arty spin on cosmetics. Products are

little pots and paint tubes. Book in to have your face
painted by a professional make-up artist or a
bespoke shade of lip gloss specially mixed for you.

Zadig & Voltaire - the French fashion and accessories

collective's own clothes mixed with choice items by
Chloé, Diane von Furstenberg, Alberta Ferretti et al as
well as sought-after jeans by Paper Denim.
Clothes are displayed on colour-coordinated rails
and the staff have a good eye for putting together
outfits. Accessories include Marc Jacobs shoes, Jamin
Puech bags (see p78) , Kathy Korvin jewellery and
gorgeous high-heeled sandals by hot designer Jean-
Michel Cazabat. Downstairs, the Gaïa mini-spa offers

crystals laid on acupuncture points).
