There are all kinds of brands and prices vary, but there are even quite cheap ones to be found. I loved it and the staff was also very friendly! Great place.

I highly recommend this shop. I seriously came to Paris looking for this specific watch. Lol

One of my friends wanted to go in to buy a plain black cardigan, which she was correct in thinking she would find, and we ended up spending like an hour shopping and browsing. The store was huge and well stocked, with tons of clothing and accessories, as well as an enormous pharmacy and cosmetics area. I thought about picking up some Caudalie and La Roche-Posay products, which were very cheap, but decided against it to avoid checking my bag going home. Joke was one me when I had to check it anyway, and barely made my flight because I hadn't accounted for that extra chunk of time. Buying a bunch of French skincare would've saved me a little bit of stress. I did get a French nasal spray on the recommendation of my friend who lives in Paris. I bought it for my perpetually congested husband, who was home watching the kids. It was the only souvenir I brought him from my trip (though I did get a Diptyque candle for the house), and I actually used it first when I caught a cold last month. I can at least attest that it worked quite well. The Monoprix was bustling, but check-out was easy and quick. I left with my nasal spray, and my friend did get her black cardigan. If you're looking to score some well priced French products, this place is definitely worth checking out. And if you're on the fence about that Caudalie Beauty Elixir, just go ahead and treat yourself.

While this is not necessarily a must-see museum for all visitors to Paris, it is well worth the…read moretrek to see the beautiful sun-filled (and climate controlled!) building, enjoy the peaceful grounds and view from the top floor, and of course see art. We saw the Calder exhibit, and as it unfolded floor after floor, room after room, it felt like a generously curated exhibit in a building which is itself a work of art. There is also a café and gift shop. I recommend getting tickets in advance, though there is still a line. Add in time to walk around the park.

As you depart Fondation Louis Vuitton following your visit you may find yourself asking whether you…read morecame to see the exhibit or the Frank Gehry masterpiece in which it's housed. Instead, consider it a 2-fer: you got to experience both the art and the building for a single price of admission. Both are exceptional. I understand that museum exhibits change but it's difficult to imagine a better use for the massive space than the Calder restrospective I enjoyed. It's so comprehensive that I'm certain I'll never see a Calder show that compares. I can't even imagine another museum that has the space to house such a collection. And then there's the building itself. Should you ever finish viewing the Calder exhibit, make your way to the rooftop. You were surely awed by the sight of Gehry's masterpiece from the outside but only from inside can you get to the terrace with its peek-a-boo, un-photographable Eiffel Tower view. Clearly, Gehry could have given us a dead-on site from which to take a selfie with that landmark in the background and equally clear was that he chose not to. The terrace itself is rife with views, just not that one. Don't miss it. Fondation Louis Vuitton had crowds without being crowded (except in the initial exhibit rooms) making it the perfect antithesis of a Louvre or d'Orsay experience. Other stuff: * Al fresco terrace cafe (with blankets provided; it was chilly in May) and a light-filled, artsy ground floor restaurant; * Best to purchase advance, timed tickets, easily done 1-day ahead. * When booking your ticket you can also reserve (for a couple additional euros) a shuttle to and from the site. The walk there takes about 15 minutes, is well-marked, and flat. I'd paid for the shuttle but didn't use it in either direction.

I have visited Antoine de Macedo Horloger a few times now, in search of my third (and hopefully)…read morelast major watch purchase. While I have yet to make the leap, I have found their sales people absolutely friendly and patient. Because Antoine de Macedo sells mostly used watches, it is difficult to tell in advance what will come in. I really hope they are carrying the next watch that speaks to me. [Note to store: you can almost guarantee a purchase if you get your hands on a IWC Mark XII from the 90's, with box and papers.] The first time I came to the store, my JLC Reverso had become de-magnetised, and was just a little off, probably losing up to 2 minutes a day. I brought it into the store, and their in-house repair people happily fixed it at no charge at all. A note however to Parisien tourists: you do not get a VAT refund for used goods.

First, even if you are not serious about making a purchase, I would consider visiting this place to…read moreget an education about watches. The store doubles as a mini museum with three floors of current and historical models of JLC watches, and with sales staff happy to educate you. I've never seen an ATMOS clock (a clock powered by atmospheric pressure changes in the environment) in person anywhere else. It was a treat. Second, the service center downstairs managed by Mathieu is top notch. I brought my reverso duo face in for anti-magnetic issues (turns out walking through airport security checks might mess out the balance wheel in the watch). Service was great and I walked away learning more about my watch. (I particularly enjoy the part where he describes my watch as a "she", rather than "it", which may either be a result of faulty French translating that is done in his head, or the fact that he regards a JLC watch as a living, breathing organism that he cares deeply about. I prefer to think it is the latter). Third, when I bought my watch here in 2012, it was a very pleasant experience. While they could not move on the retail price, the sales associate offered a 16% (rather than the usual 12%) VAT refund and also threw in a second, black ostrich strap (on top of the standard brown croc one that comes with the watch), which I currently use. After visiting the service center, this past time, I looked at some more watches, particularly an ultra-thin with a date function and received similarly friendly and accommodating service from Elena. While I would rather not double up on the same brand for my next watch purchase (for diversity reasons), the overall experience at the JLC flagship in Paris, both for sales and repairs, in addition to some of their very nice models available, will make the decision to look to another brand very difficult indeed.
