Over the years, leading names in luxury have elected domicile here, making the area an eminently chic shopping area. An essential port-of-call on any stay in the French capital.

Winner of the Taittinger Prize in 2017 and runner-up in the Bocuse d’Or in 2019, this young talent has also just won his first star in the Michelin Guide.

The historic boutique of France's most famous designer nestles in an 18th-C. mansion a stone's throw from Place Vendôme.

She was the first to propose accessories here, together with beauty products and jewellery to accompany her fashionwear and hats. Not to be missed.
Between the Louvre and Pompidou Centre, the Parisian Stock Exchage was transformed and restored by Japanese architect Tadao Ando.

Facing the Palais Royal Gardens, star-rated Chef Guy Martin is at the helm of Le Grand Véfour, one of the oldest restaurants in Paris.
