I discovered this jewel of a shoe store 4 years ago, on one of the most beautiful streets in…read moreMontmartre, tucked in, directly across from the Wall of Love and the Merry-Go-Round on rue Abbesses. Diane is a delightful shopkeeper who helps you find the perfect shoe. These shoes are a work of art. Added to the inventory, is a line of shoes with custom designs painted by artist Sauver Carlus. I recommend this shop to any woman that wants an extraordinary pair of shoes that will make her feel like she stepped out of a painting from the Belle Époque. I'll be back next year for another pair. Merci beaucoup Diane, Sylvia & Sauver for creating joy for lovers of shoes thatske us feel féminine and desired.

A tiny little store with the most beautiful shoes. Not only do they have the most unique styles,…read moreeach style comes in a rainbow of colours. If I could afford it I would have bought one of every style! I settled on a beautiful pair of mauve boots in the end. If I'm in Paris again I'll be sure to return!

On our visit, the shop is empty, except myself and my daughter, no one is in the changing rooms…read more My daughter likes a pair of shorts and a top from the sales basket. The sales assistant states that clothes from this basket cannot be tried on first. Pourqoi?? There was no sign in the shop stating that this is the case. I believe the sales assistant just made up the rule on the spot because she took a disliking to us, for whatever twisted reason she had. How on earth can you buy clothes without seeing if they fit first? Had they fitted, my daughter would have bought these items plus a scarf. This is bad customer service, poor sales technique and no way to run a business. Very very poor and I wouldn't recommend this shop to anyone BTW This shop is not vintage, it sells new clothes

We were walking past after dinner and decided to walk in. Such a cute store, mostly vintage items…read more I found a cute coin charm necklace.

The owner supports local textiles and independent designers, and it definitely shows through the collections of unusual patterns and silhouettes and their smorgasboard of vintage-inspired boots and heels. After I commented on the propietor's "The Satorialist" book, prominently displayed near the cashier's desk (because, duh, I have and LOVE IT), he nonchalantly told me that Scott's girlfriend, Garance Dore (now a veritable photographer-slash-blogger-cum-fashionista in her own endearing right) used to frequent the store before she made it big. If that's not Parisian chic endorsement enough, I'm not sure what is. Oh, and I got a free pair of "bienvenue a Paris" panties (his words, not mine) with my high-heel purchase. Which meant I didn't need to do laundry in Paris. Score.

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.

I was in Paris last year in mid march…read more I was having a horrible shopping day. Nothing fit, nothing looked right etc. I was starting to give up. It was my last day in Paris I was shopping for a few hours and then the shops were begining to close. I saw my dream of finding fab finds in Paris slip away. On my way home I ended up STUMBLING! on to this fab find!!!! Literarlly saw the open sign from the corner of my eye- made a sharp right and TADA!!!!!! angeles singing harps playing gates opening! my night turned around in .o2 seconds!!!! i got 3 paris of flats, 2 boots and a jacket! I don't remember spending over 120-150 euros!!!! FABBB FINDSSS GELORE!!!!!! I get compliments on my purchases form here alll the time! at the bank, at the grocery store, by my friends, fellow public transit riders the list goes on and on. the top floor is shoes and the bottom is cloths! its a tiny cluttered store but everything there is gorg!!!! dig a little, find our own shoes size box etc.... totally worth it! A year later I am making my way back to Paris and have spent the last hours looking for this place online to make sure I make a visit when I get there! I did not want to risk wandering around in the neighborhood looking for this place! I did not have a name, just a very very rough idea of the area on the map. but the two pics posted on this yelp account are IT!!!!! can't wait to make my way there is a few weeks!!!! ps. I am NOT a yelp review writer! the fact that I am writing this review, and a year later should speak for itself!

Very small boutique located in Montmartre on the voyage up to Sacré Cœur!…read more My cousin needed a pair of comfortable shoes after she made the mistake of wearing flats so she ran inside the store after seeing a sign outside with all of the brands they sell (adidas, Nike, puma, asics to name a few). The employee was very sweet and although he did not speak too much English he was very helpful and was able to give my cousin the proper shoe size (with the help of their French translator--moi!) The prices are VERY expensive. For a pair of Nikes, my cousin spent 140€ and that is the average price for their other shoes. I would not immediately recommend coming here unless you are looking to pay a little more for shoes that you could easily buy elsewhere. But, considering how badly she needed it and how close it was to the sacré coeur, this was the easiest option for her.
