A guide to the most interesting specialist retailers in France's capital, Paris. It features the best of these establishments, on grand boulevards, in elegant covered passages and tucked away in back streets; some date back hundreds of years, others are newly founded, with all the vigor and enthusiasm of youth.
Among the 40 entries are places to buy essentials, luxuries and curiosities. There’s stationery and art supplies, scented candles and soap, toys, rat traps, and taxidermy. It is the perfect companion for this most perfect of cities, or even just to daydream about a visit there and feel like you've stepped foot in a fairytale for a day.
Sample three entries here: paper goods at Papier Tigre, repair your umbrella at Pep’s Parapluie, or buy fabric and notions at Ultramod.
