Don’t waste your time figuring out where the top shops in Paris are, we’ve compiled a little list of some of our favourites in the City of Fashion.
Cire Trudon

As the oldest candle shop in the world, roots dating to Paris in 1643 Cire Trudon offers the pinnacle of waxworks made from premium ingredients. These unbeatable candles, once the official candles of the kings and queens of France, now make perfect gifts from right in the heart of Paris.
La Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Looking for that most exclusive, refined, personal scent? The perfume from La Maison Francis Kurkdjian is what you need.

If you love the sharpest cutting edge of French fashion, look no further than Balmain. Located just off the famous Champs Élysées, this is the place to be for anyone with a flare for fashion design.
Since World War II, Balmain has been at the forefront of French design, dressing stars like Ava Gardner and Brigitte Bardot in his signature luxurious pieces. Now, you can come in and get decked out like a star.
Merci
If you‘re in the northern part of the well-known trendy quarter, Le Marais, check out Merci. This three-floor designer boutique offers you the best of Paris in everything from fashion and beauty to furniture and home ware.
There’s a refreshingly healthy restaurant that provides views onto an herb garden, but most important is the literary café. Here, pick up a new favourite novel and a coffee in the simple stylishness of this relaxing space—you’ll thank us later.
L’Éclaireur
Of the six boutiques in Paris, don’t miss the one located in the centre of the Marais district.
