The Marais has stolen the show as the city's hippest shopping destination—and for sheer volume it can't be beat. Rue des Francs Bourgeois and Rue Vieille de Temple form the central retail axis from which the upper and lower Marais branch out. The newest frontier is its northeastern edge (the haut Marais), which is known for ultrastylish boutiques, vintage stores, and design ateliers.

This elegant little "pharmacy" could have been here for a hundred years, thanks to the genteel ambience of the shop featuring a line of irresistible all-natural fragrances and luscious beauty concoctions for the face and body. Choose from a range of lotions in delicate scents like tuberose, orange blossom, and damask rose, or create your own according to skin type. The charming tea and coffee bar, where you can sit for a snack or drink, was imported straight from Italy.
