Christian Dior Flagship

On a visit to Paris, some might skip the household name designer boutiques on the basis that one can find the same merchandise in many other cities. That said, the legendary Avenue Montaigne address — the site of Dior's first shop and atelier — is a must-visit on any trip here, especially following its extensive renovations and reopening in 2022. Retail therapy here includes haute couture salons, high-jewelry workshops and showrooms for housewares and children’s clothing.

(And should the store’s 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. hours prove insufficient for a traveler’s shopping requirements, there’s now a single guest suite available for overnight stays. Designed by American architect Peter Marino, it features a living room, dining room and access to multiple butlers 24/7.)

The flagship is adjacent to the Galerie Dior, a museum devoted to the fashion designer that opened in 2022.

Deyrolle Store Front Paris

Deyrolle

The fantastic taxidermy shop that Adam Gopnik wrote about so memorably in the New Yorker is worth a visit, especially if you are trying to entertain children or husbands who are being dragged along on a shopping spree. On the bottom floor of the 19th-century Beaux Art building is Le Prince Jardinier. Climb the winding wooden stairs, though, and you will think that you have entered a natural history museum set in a palace. The grand salon rooms have ornate wood paneling and chandeliers fit for diplomatic entertaining but the creatures that inhabit them are stuffed elephants, polar bears and tigers. One room is devoted primarily to stuffed birds, from sparrows to a five-foot-tall ostrich. Another room contains many sea creatures and another insects. Small glass shadow boxes of butterflies and beetles are among the easiest exports, but they do ship larger specimens around the world regularly. The shop was destroyed by fire in 2007 but entirely restored; the restoration was so masterful you would never know  that it had ever been damaged.

Merchandise at Diptyque, Paris, France

Diptyque

Heavenly scented candles make this a fabulous home scent emporium. I love “Figuier,” which captures the smell of fig leaves, and am partial to “Pomander” at Christmas-time. They also carry other finely fragranced home accessories.

 

Merchandise at E. Dehillerin, Paris, France

E. Dehillerin

Even though you can now find French cookware and accessories on this side of the pond, Dehillerin still surprises with kitchen gear you’ve never even thought of. If you’re in the market for copper saucepans, you’re in the right place, and they ship.

Empreintes Paris

The Haut-Marais is not lacking for concept stores, but this one sets itself apart by focusing on limited edition objects and original artworks made by French craftsmen and artists.

Flamant Store in Paris

Flamant

The Belgian version of Conran’s, Flamant has been the most stylish house wares shop for Belgians since the late 1970s. The aesthetic mixes Scandinavian and Provencal influences for a semi-rustic, yet Parisian chic look with lots of vintage looking leather club chairs, inviting wooden dining tables, sumptuous linens and fantasy flea market finds, such as old-fashioned looking toys, stemware, baskets and objets from antlers to leather rugby balls. Flamant now has branches all over Europe, including this one in Paris, which wends over multiple rooms and floors. As you move through the model rooms, (living, dining, library, child’s room, kitchen and bedrooms), you will find a café, the paint room (where custom colors are blended), and a garden room full of flowers, vases and gardening tools. Interior designers are on hand so you can decorate an entire house or just pick up special linens, glass urns, kitchen items or unusual gifts.

Interiors at Karl Lagerfeld, Paris, France

Karl Lagerfeld

Karl Lagerfeld’s second concept store in Paris brought the Marais a futuristic shiny black facade marked by a striking white neon in the shape of the late designer’s unmistakable silhouette—starched-collar, ponytail, sunglasses and all. The merchandise is a mix of his own designs (men’s and women’s prêt-à-porter) and sundries including cell phone cases, key chains, and wallets, handpicked by the fashion icon. Nothing short of a shrine to all things Lagerfeld, the store sells gimmicky accessories like the designer’s signature starched white collar and is decorated with wallpaper whose grey-on-grey design is based on a repeating pattern of Lagerfeld’s ponytailed profile. But shoppers, too, have a chance to shine here—the dressing rooms on the second floor are equipped with digital screens that allow customers to photograph themselves in Lagerfeld’s clothes and post them online.

L'Eclaireur

The famous concept store has more than one location in Paris but the address not to miss is this one, on Rue de Sévigné, in the Marais. Designed by artist Arne Quinze, the space is a veritable installation, with high-tech touches like 150 video screens that guide you through. It’s as much an art experience as a shopping detour, but you will probably leave with something new and special to go with the thrill of futuristic browsing.

La Maison de Commerce

La Maison de Commerce on Boulevard St-Germain specializes in artisan finds from all over Europe. Its owners have a passion for beauty but also for authentic, handmade objects so they hunt down talented artisans from the Cyclades to Sicily and Sweden. This is a must-visit for houseware lovers.

La Trésorerie

Tucked behind the Place de la République on a small side street, La Trésorerie is a bright and airy home-goods emporium stocked with thousands of items, from l’art du table to l’art du bain. Here you will find elegant everyday essentials (lovely country-style enamel sauce pans, ladles, and measuring cups), as well as luxury items like porcelain, bronze-coated flatware and lambs wool throw blankets. Thirty percent of the store’s offerings are made in France, which makes La Trésorerie a great resource for tasteful (and useful) regional souvenirs.

Le Prince Jardinier

This boutique on the left Bank beneath the venerable taxidermy Deyrolle is a prime address for gardeners and those shopping for house presents. It was founded by the Prince de Broglie—known for the garden of hundreds of types of tomatoes that he planted at his Loire Valley château—after he became frustrated by the lack of high-quality gardening tools and equipment on the market. He designed his own line of tools and went directly to the France’s top toolmakers. Gardening equipment has never been so elegant.

She picks up treasures at flea markets, auctions and on her travels.
