It's their new affordable fashion brand that's accessible to any budget, but with clothes you won't find at places like H&M or Uniqlo. Lots of basics with modern cuts and enough style for the streets of Paris, or anywhere in the world you might wear their stuff. Their jeans are one of the things most people come here for, and while I didn't buy any, I can see why someone would. They look great and the price is right. You might want to bring an extra suitcase on your next trip, because you're going to run out of room in your carry on.

I was so excited to find a vintage store in the Marais. I love vintage, love the Marais, and wanted…read moreto spend my money there. I walked in and happily began looking at the messy, wonderful, high pile of leather purses in the window display. A man who worked there started yelling at me extensively in French. I politely told him I don't speak French and he yelled "don't touch". I was confused and asked how I might decide if I wanted it. The man ignored me but and began organizing the beautiful messy pile. Aha! Lovely things, nasty man, tight conditions with only one small mirror in an inconvenient spot. Don't bother!

Oh, and their products are top quality,.

The shop opened in the 50s by an American called George Whitman and he initially named it Le Mistral. I believe the name changed in the 60s to what we know it as today. As a fan of literature, Shakespeare and Company is like Mecca. The Holy Grail, if you will. Whether you stick downstairs where it gets busy or upstairs where it's for more of a library feel, it's simply a magical experience. An experience that transcends you into the pages of your favorite novel or book of poetry. A timeless, nostalgic, and electric adventure awaits you.

Shakespeare and Company is one of the notorious Global booksellers. It is located in Paris, on the…read moreRiver Seine across from Notre Dame (you really can't miss it), and there seems to be a block-long queue everyday, anytime it's open. Founded by Sylvia Beach in 1919, it was a hangout for many American and British writers when they lived in Paris. Like any great bookstore, this retail establishment has an impressive inventory of books in English, in all major categories: Children's literature, classics, culinary, culture, economics, history, politics, travel, etc, etc. We checked 4 different days, and finally got in on our fifth try. The shop is a labyrinth of interconnected rooms, and actually takes up nearly a whole block. The check-out clerks will stamp your books with the Shakespeare & Co logo and name; so it's fun to gift a classic, like Winnie the Pooh, to your grandkids. And there is a cafe next door where you can sit and enjoy your purchases. Read up on the Tumbleweeds.

The best feature by far of this shop is the woman (Catherine) who was working there when I visited. The shop was very busy (another sign of its superiority over other shops in the area) so I had to wait longer than typical to have my purchases rung up. I had no problem with that because I was excited about what I was buying but was very touched when Catherine gave me a free sachet to thank me for my patience. That little show of kindness will be one of my favorite memories of my time in Paris.

Perhaps it is my Bronx skepticism kicking-in. The manager/salesperson was outstanding but I can't remember her name. I don't want to say how much we spent, but let's just say we greatly surpassed the US incoming custom's exemption. I guess we'll just need to donate the excess prior to re-entering the homeland...
