The spring rolls, egg drop soup and Crab Rangoon are to die for. The Moo Gai Pan a nd Shrimp in Lobster sauce are killer as well.

The best part of this place is the staff. Every time I come to Paris, I stop in here at least once…read moreto shop but also just to chat. They are pretty well entrenched into the fabric the seemingly ever-changing Montmartre/Barbès neighborhood. The owner and in-house label designer is always a pleasure to chat with. He likes to chop it up about everything from hip hop music, to design, and politics. If you're just passing through be sure to get some dining recommendations as well. They know the spots. But I digress... The boutique is dope. They offer a number of niche brands that create some quality clothing. Also the in-house Isakin brand is coming out with some very well put together pieces each season. I shop mostly for their pieces when I'm there. They give you that Parisien refinement without any of the pretentiousness. You can't help but to love it. This place is a neighborhood gem.

Stop shouting. Amanda F: JE PEUX PORTER CES BOTTES MAINTENANT?!?! I bought those boots, at 50% off while all the Frenchies laughed at me. But I got the coolest boots, at 50% off. So I like to think I got the last laugh.

Galeries Lafayette Paris is absolutely breathtaking!…read more The gorgeous glass dome and ceilings are a showstopper all by themselves. Almost every designer you can think of is here, making this a must-see and a must-shop when visiting Paris. And it doesn't stop inside Galeries Lafayette--the entire surrounding area has stores for days! Lights, glitz, glamour, luxury, and fashion everywhere you turn. It reminded me of an upscale New York City 42nd Street, but with that beautiful Parisian elegance. Even if you're not planning to shop, go for the experience. There's so much to see, you could spend hours just walking around and taking it all in. Definitely one of my Paris must-visits!
My husband and I were talking to our good friend who's been living in Paris for the last five…read moreyears, and she told us e-commerce is less dominant there because people seem to prefer shopping in physical stores. While malls die all over America, retail still thrives in Paris. Exhibit A: Galeries Lafayette Haussmann. I've been to this department store a number of times over the years, and I both enjoy it and fear how completely it can suck up precious vacation hours. It's a fantastic place to shop, with a ton of well curated inventory spread out across multiple floors in multiple buildings. The main building features that beautiful domed ceiling, which manages to catch me by surprise every time I walk in. I haven't had the opportunity to shop for my own clothes here in a long time, but I've gotten some really great stuff on the children's floor, and discovered the souvenir section on my last visit, where I picked up some cool Paris Metro toy trains and magnets. We did somehow get stuck at Galeries Lafayette for over two hours and ended up skipping Notre-Dame, which might have been a better place to spend our last afternoon in Paris. But it was sale season, and my kids look super cute in their heavily discounted Petit Bateau. Galeries Lafayette is busy and sometimes overwhelming, but it's a wonderful department store. I wish we had something like it back home. I'd much rather shop there than fall for targeted ads on Instagram.

It sort of feels as though you're walking into a well laid-out cave or lair. The best part, though, is Mr. Ashpool's (the brand's creator) mother. She is very enthusiastic about the brand and knowledgable about the neighborhood. She loves to talk and interact with the customers and that makes the shop feel even better. Aside from the shopping, I'd like to just stop back in and chat with her. I also appreciate the fact that there are many pieces that you can only find in the store, so shopping there almost ensures that you won't be wearing a piece that everybody in any major city already has. Dope space with great people running it; no complaints.

Being a foodie, I was looking for a good, heavy-duty wok to use on a gas stove for deep frying. I…read morelooked around a few shops in the quartier chinois, and the woks I saw seemed rather flimsy with dodgy handles. Mind you, I was looking for a larger pan...say about 36 cm that could retain heat. Striking out in the 13th, I headed upscale to the Marais at BHV near Hotel de Ville. I saw a few Staub pans and was not impressed. I was told by the sales person to try the Le Creuset boutique down the ways a bit. I head down to the LC boutique and was assisted by a very knowledgeable attendant who helped me get what I was seeking. I found a beast of a wok, solid cast-iron, heavy as an aircraft carrier! It was about half the price of what I would have paid in the USA!!! In any case, it's exactly what I needed to maintain constant heat when deep frying large batches and using minimal oil: including making enchiladas, frying taco shells, Chinese-style fish, and so on. The shop is small, but with a huge selection + more stuff not on display. So, if you don't see what you want in the shelves, check in the catalog & it's likely they can just pull it from the back. Overall, friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. - and like with almost anywhere in Paris, it's very accessible by Metro or public transit.

But seriously, this is essentially a shopping mall that it attached to the museum. Since we were here, we decided to check it out and see if there were any shops worth exploring. Carrousel isn't that large - there's a combination of known branded stores and independent shops. The latter are mostly souvenir shops from what I've seen - and since I was a tourist I browsed a few. Several shops have Louve merch, and there's also a sizable food court. With easy access to the museum itself, the metro, and the attractions on Rue Rivoli, the Carrousel is in a prime spot for tourists and locals to visit. It wasn't the most exciting shopping experience IMO, but worth exploring if you're in the area.

When I was at the Florence location in 2022, I had to wait 45 minutes to be served and I told the rep that I know what I'm purchasing and it will be a quick sales/transaction. Nope, I waited 45 minutes. To sum it up, they offered us to deliver the bags to our hotel for free, so we don't have to. There was no way we can carry 2 large shopping bags around and we would have to go back to the hotel. Saved us time and we can continued to explore Paris. Great service!
