"Paris Storefronts" by Joel Holland and Vivian Song

$30.00

Brimming with joie de vivre and delightful detail, this journey through Paris’s neighborhoods captures two hundred intriguing storefronts that help make the city a shopper’s paradise. Joel Holland offers the unique perspective of a traveler on foot. Paris-based journalist Vivian Song’s text provides an insider’s perspective as to why each location is worthy of a stop on an itinerary.

There are plenty of iconic stores: Le Bon Marché, Shakespeare and Company, the Moulin Rouge, and the Ladurée macaron shop.

But there’s also a bounty of lesser-known places, like a Moroccan restaurant frequented by the city’s top chefs; a taxidermist’s mecca; a historic lingerie shop that birthed the predecessor of the modern-day brassiere; and a beloved hole-in-the-wall that sells authentic Shanghai-style pan-fried buns.

From the Marais to Montmartre, the Latin Quarter to the 1st Arrondissement, this delightful book offers a unique glimpse into what makes the city a magical and wonderfully diverse place to walk and shop.
