From the venerable old boutiques on Rue de la Paix to Paris's great grands magasins on Boulevard Haussmann (namely Galeries Lafayette and Au Printemps), there’s no shortage of shopping opportunities here. Once you add in the area’s elegant covered passages, there is enough to keep you busy for a weekend, if not an entire week.
Off the bustling Rue Montmartre, this unique concept store is Paris's perfume and skincare central—a must for seekers of that elusive perfect fragrance. After you're installed at the bar (with refreshment), you'll be given a detailed questionnaire on the in-house iPad to pinpoint 5 or 10 scents from 500 niche perfumes that correspond to your deepest self. There's also a super range of European skin-care products, scented candles, and other delicious surprises.
