Fashion
A fabulous department store with fabulous fashion floors
The only place to buy your Hermes Scarf. Never buy one in any other city it's just not the same experience
Gorgeous young fashion with that distinctive French Chic
Wacky, weird but wonderful clothes
You can't visit Paris without visiting Galeries Lafayette, it should be illegal to do so
A Parisian department store that is always at the cutting edge of fashion
This store is one that I visit every time I am in Paris - very chic
Wonderfully different fashions
More of that famous French Chic shines through their collections

Homewares
I can't think of any shop in Paris that comes anywhere as near perfection as Emery et Cie does. It is the jewel in Paris's crown
Julie at Agape is one of those quintessential French women. She takes vintage furniture and does something to them that turns them into works of art with an aged look
Guaranteed to find something different on every visit to this Parisian department store
Galeries Lafayette has it's own Home Store opposite the department store - a must to visit
Another department store but always at the cutting edge of design
This beautiful little shop in The Marais district is full of vintage pieces to die for
The first thing you will notice when walking into L'eclaireur is the fabulous Fornasetti furniture - just a treat to wander around
These French stores can be found all over Paris and manage to bring expensive looking design to the masses for budget prices. Fabulous place to mooch
Wacky, wonderful and totally different
If you want something different then go her first, it may save some shoe leather

Food
All I can say is - Never walk past a Fauchon shop without going in
Pierre Herme is the King of Macaron makers. There is rarely not a queue outside his shops. Delicious towers of them inside every store
J Crochoux is a chocolate shop that I found by accident. I bought some tiny chocolate babies as a gift for someone and they were so realistic no one will eat them
When you visit Fauchon in Place de la Madeline it takes an age to enter as you cannot stop looking in the windows at their fabulous food
This is an artisan chocolatier that lives up to it's name. They make everything under the sun from chocolate and the smell when you walk in is divine
