i've exchanged euros to dollars here on a few trips to france. It is my go-to place and the spot…read more that i recommend to friends. The rate is the best I could find in paris (and much better than my bank in new york). The gentleman behind the window is very nice (i assume he's the owner). Always very polite and professional. Honestly this is the nicest exchange i've ever been to. It's a block from gare de nord-- easy to get to and very worth it if you have a large amount of currency to exchange. Each time i've gone there's a few parisians in line -- so my vibe is that locals also know this is a great place.

The day I went in they charged around 6% to exchange USD to Euros. Not great but not terrible…read moreeither I guess. If you have time I would suggest exchanging your dollars to euros at a local bank in the states before your travels. Cen publishes their exchange rates on their website but don't be tricked by the difference in rates displayed for the cost to buy euros and the cost to sell euros.

Good taste with fair prices is not easy to find in Paris! I was helped by the owner herself.

This is a beautiful bookstore with a respectable selection of English and French books…read more However, I agree with the sentiments of another visitor in that the price markup is extreme. With the availability of Amazon, it is difficult to justify a purchase from here when you know you can get the same product online and delivered to your home for less. Unless it truly is a book you cannot find on Amazon, then by all means, it's worth the buy. But if you can find it, just get it online. Why waste luggage space and money? The staff are indeed a bit standoffish and prefer not to socialise or try to assist you unless they know for certain that you can speak French fluently. But it is also an advantage in that you won't be hassled to get something.

Galignani is a wonderful, old money bookstore in Paris located on the rue de Rivoli. They cater to…read morewell heeled clients and carry an enormous selection of books including luscious coffee table books with an emphasis on the arts, culture and fashion. There is also a large English language section in the latter half of the store which is fascinating to peruse. I often see books there which I've never heard of in the USA, especially ones related to European history and royalty. Should you have misplaced your Almanach de Gotha, look no further. In short, it is always a sheer pleasure to get lost in the unhurried world of Galignani.

After spotting a pair of cool dangly earrings to wear this summer I ventured into this boutique…read morethat I had walked by literally hundreds of times. It took me a second to realize that there was a man in the back room banging on some metal -- wait, duh, Toumain stood for handmade, as in handmade right there in the shop! My heart sung as I'm a major sucker for things that are handmade and that you can watch being made before your eyes. So naturally when I asked if the copper dangly earrings that I had fallen in love with (28E) were made by hand the woman at the counter rolled her eyes, and was like, yeah, lady, didn't you get the memo and smiled and pointed to the man (perhaps her husband) in the workshop behind her. They've been around for decades and yet remain a super discreet address. A must stop for anyone looking for a to find a great, affordable pair of earrings in a handmade mom and pop shop.
