Shopping in Paris, France
Every visitor to Paris goes shopping. Street markets, elegant passages, beautiful department stores, bookstalls along the Seine, fine museum shops―Paris is the perfect place for shoppers.
Covered Passages
You can combine shopping and sightseeing by visiting some of the beautiful covered passages of Paris. These 19th-century glass-roofed arcades (商场) were wildly popular for a while. Today about 20 remain, offering a variety of shops and restaurants, as well as interesting architecture and design.
Markets
Paris is best known for its wonderful markets. Open air markets, covered markets and market streets all offer fresh delicious food. They’re great fun and worth visiting, even if you’re not planning on cooking.
Flower Market
The Marche aux Fleurs (Flower Market) is just upstairs from the Cite station. Come any day of the week to enjoy the flowers, whether you buy or not. On Sunday, the flower market becomes a pet market.
Designer Shops
All of the great French fashion houses have shops in Paris, of course, and the great department stores sell all sorts of good French stuff. If you want to see a street full of top design, stroll down Avenue Montaigne.
Flea Market
For a real shopping adventure, take the Metro to Porte de Clignancourt station on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm for an adventure in the vast Marche aux Puces de Saint-Ouen, also known as the Clignancourt Flea Market, with several thousand stalls, shops, and vendors selling everything from used blue jeans to paintings and furniture.
Museum Shops
Most of Paris’ great museums have museum shops selling art, books and souvenirs of high quality at very reasonable prices.
