Tucked away down a small side street in Paris you will find Christian Louboutin's original boutique. There are actually two right next to each other with one being the men's store and the other the women's store. The men's store is fairly small inside. There is a somewhat gruff security guard at the door that will open it for you when they know you want to enter. There were two clerks working this day. One was occupied with other customers, so we browsed for a while. Once the other clerk realized we wanted to try something on he came over and assisted us graciously with good English skills. Though the store is small, they pack a lot of merchandise into it, so there's a good chance you'll find what you want. There was no problem finding what we wanted in the correct size. Once we decided, he arranged all the paperwork to complete the tax refund at the airport. The savings were exceptional compared to US prices. The total savings was about $200 versus buying the same item in the US. He arranged to have our purchase sent to our hotel by courier. Here's where the snafu occurred. It didn't show up by the next day. Our hotel concierge called the store several times, but there was no answer. So, we had no choice but to go back. There were no customers in the store, so I don't know why they weren't answering the phone. The clerk who sold us the shoes was there, and he apologized profusely. He said there had been riots the night before, so he had not sent the shoes for safety reasons. He apologized profusely and apologized for not calling us to advise us. I appreciated the apology, but I couldn't help but wonder what his plan B was since he didn't send the shoes or call us. Did he think we would just give up and forget about them? Haha. Anyway, he gave us the purchase to hand carry back to the hotel. I'm keeping this review at four stars since the cost saving is so amazing, and the product is exceptional. Also, the staff were very apologetic about their error. Definitely visit while you're in Paris and pick up a pair or two at an amazing savings! read more

Being a fan of Christian Louboutin my wife has always wanted to visit their original Paris location. When we arrived we were warmly greeted by their sales associate Angelique. She inquired as to what we were looking for and for what occasion. We were provided with beautiful suggestions beyond what we had found ourselves. She was very attentive and made this long anticipated visit special for my wife. We never felt rushed and enjoyed perusing their shoes and purses. We left with the perfect shoes and purse for our son's upcoming wedding. Thank you Angelique for making this long anticipated visit so special for my wife. read more

Louboutins? Yes, please! A few years ago, my husband suggested a luxurious wedding anniversary present on our second visit to Paris - Louboutins. And, I said yes . . . again. My first visit, I researched my trip to the store: on a weekday, and in early in the morning. My planning did not disappoint! A friendly, and very patient gentleman helped me select my quintessential pair in a classic Pigalle style. Oh how I love those beautiful nude heels! Last summer, I wanted to bring home another pair. Another present! However, this time, an influencer of some sort had commandeered the store for a photoshoot, and I was left waiting outside with a few other parties (but only for about 20 minutes). Nonetheless, the sales team inside this small store still treated me, an American, with the same respect, and attention as last time. So, which pair came home with me? A pair of pumps in a rich deep velvet. While this store is small, the staff is wonderful, and each visit has been a pleasure. If I find Louboutin calling to me in the future, "Sabrina, come back. It's time for another pair." I'll know where to return. read more

This store is beautiful. A total shoe lover's dream. I was like a kid in a candy store walking in, and the fact that this is the very first Louboutin store made is so much more special! I wish I could rate this location 5 stars, however I was a little bothered that only two sales associates were on the floor, and with more than two customers in the store, their attention was already focused elsewhere and I was somewhat left to my own devices and spent more time in the store than I was intending. This definitely isn't reflective of the SAs, who were friendly, attentive, and helpful once people started to leave. It's really more reflective on the management of the store. Nonetheless, it's a beautiful store and if you can get someone to help you, you'll be in and out in no time! This location does carry exclusive styles that can't be found elsewhere, so be sure to ask for those as well! read more

Of course I had to visit a Christian Louboutin store while in Paris back in September! I did research in prepping for our trip. The bigger location was under renovation. I was about the 10th person in line upon arrival. They let two parties go in at a time and has a security guard at the door. One Asian lady tried to cut totally ignoring the line, but he put her in her place as she tried to act "clueless." I am a lover and owner of designer handbags and a couple of designer pumps, but over the past few years, I've refrained from buying a handful of pumps just due to practicality. But, I told myself, it was my first trip to Europe, and since I already have a Chanel purse, I had to get a European creation in Europe, since it's cheaper, and I'll get the VAT back eventually. Unfortunately ever shoe I wanted they didn't have in my size 36. Except for one, the Pigalle 85mm. The black on red was so sexy. And pointy toed, though not always the most comfy, is always sexier than round toe. Service was okay, but I felt that the associates back in the San Francisco store were friendlier, though I actually tried pumps on here and not back in SF. My Sales Associate was friendlier once I was being rung up. Unfortunately I thought just a copy of my passport would suffice, but apparently a new law changed where they had to have the physical legal copy present. Since the next day was Sunday, I made sure just to take a cab back and forth right after back to the store. The security guard remembered me and let me back in instantly and all the paperwork was taken care of. They charged 515 Euro, which at the time was about 0.81 USD to 1 Euro. Price here in SF is $675 USD. When I left Charles De Gaulle on September 25th I dropped off the paperwork to get the credit back on my Visa credit card. I finally got back the $65.67 USD in early February. Not sure if CL took awhile to submit their paperwork, as some sites had suggested calling the store since they have to submit paperwork on their end too. I would suggest any designer and shoe loving lady to visit a Christian Louboutin store while in Paris. The shoes are truly breathtaking even if your feet starting hurting at just the mere site of the 4 or 5 inch pumps. I stuck with about a 3in. heel. The men's store is seperate next door, and with no surprise, no wait at all. read more

Everything is better in Paris! Even the gaudy looking Christian Louboutins! When I think of Christian Louboutin I think of the classy black or nude patent leather ones, not the ones encrusted with jewels or spikes. On a rainy day without a plan, umbrella, or hat, I ran through the streets of Paris looking for the metro, shelter, restaurant, any place that would save my sanity. I ended up in front of Christian Louboutin and it was as if all my anger and frustration had lifted. Seriously, I have never seen such beautiful shoes and they were displayed like art pieces. Granted each shoe cost an arm and a leg, they were all works of art. This is a sizeable shop for men and women. They have casual hightops too. Not every shoe is for a production or big scale event. But if you own and wear these shoes, then I suppose you are the production and main event. Show stopper! ***** Tout est mieux à Paris! Même le mauvais goût en regardant Christian Louboutins! Quand je pense à Christian Louboutin Je pense que des chics celui en cuir verni noir ou nude, pas ceux incrustés de bijoux ou de pointes. Par une journée pluvieuse sans un plan, un parapluie ou un chapeau, j'ai couru à travers les rues de Paris à la recherche de la station de métro, un abri, un restaurant, un lieu qui permettrait de sauver ma santé mentale. Je me suis retrouvé en face de Christian Louboutin et c'était comme si toute ma colère et frustration avaient levé. Sérieusement, je n'ai jamais vu ces belles chaussures et ils ont été présentés comme des oeuvres d'art. Accordée chaque chaussure a coûté un bras et une jambe, ils étaient tous des œuvres d'art. Il s'agit d'un magasin de taille pour les hommes et les femmes. Ils ont hightops occasionnels trop. read more

I was here with a friend and amazed with the collection of shoes being offered. From traditional to wild it was great to see such an incredible collection for men. Unlike the wild shoes, the store itself feels somewhat traditional and has a subdued tone, which is kind of funny. The customer service was very good and I'd definitely go back. read more

I WAS A KID IN A CANDY STORE WALKING IN HERE! although i didn't think the staff was as friendly as i would've liked i did have to remember...i'm in paris. so it's expected lol. but i did get a lot of help picking out the shoes i wanted. i did want the 120mm which they don't sell in paris which was kinda disappointing but the 100mm is definitely more comfortable. i just think the 120mm is more aesthetically pleasing. but overall. awesome experience. louboutin makes beautiful shoes. i'll buy every time. read more

"I don't care for a pair of Louboutins", said NO WOMAN EVER! Eclectic sexy heels that are "lookatme" but surprisingly comfortable as a 5 inch stiletto can be. Great selection - one can find at least a few pairs. The beautiful sales people here are like candy. Good looking, great service, and all engaging. I could sit here all day! Finally left with a beautiful pair of red patent mary jane stilettos. Score! Tip: they don't allow you to buy 2 of the same pairs of shows even in different colors. This location has plenty of styles and good inventory. read more

I understand why they make you stand outside and wait for others to clear the store. But damn when it is cold outside and you just want to get in and let your wife buy another pair of shoes, and I just want a beer. Then I say open that door let us buy, so I can drink. Service was good but you do not get the excitement about the shoe from the staff as you would in the states, almost felt like she was buying shoes at Payless. Which dammit why doesn't Payless offer this quality, but I digress. Here is a tip ask for a water sometimes it takes awhile for them to offer. Happy shopping! read more

I visited CL on 12/8/17, my first time in Paris! I was nervous entering the store because the store in the states never carry my size in store. First of all, there was no wait. I was greeted by Laura who helped me immediately. I wear a size 41 so styles are always limited. Laura pulled every style in the store that fit my want and my size and even forced me out of my comfort zone (I came in for a black pair :-). She forced me to get something fun but still classy and I LOVE what we picked! Just wanted to say thanks for the great memory. You should definitely make this a stop while you are in Paris! read more

A trip to Paris is never complete without a visit to Christian Louboutin. The customer service was decent. I'm giving five stars because this boutique had every pair I wanted in stock.... and in MY size, YAY! read more

This was my least favorite Christian Louboutin boutique in Paris, and the reason I couldn't wait to leave after slightly looking around, wanting to jet out the door, pronto. Probably due to the stores idea of how to handle customers and small crowds, I wasn't at all comfortable with the "crowd" of 6 control and an associated sea of security guards. They're selling SHOES, mind you, not bomb material or blood diamonds. It's sad because the inventory at this shop was pretty spectacular, but to get to the customer service just wasn't worth my bother. read more

When in Paris right?! Both the men's & women's store reps were wonderful and helpful. I found exactly what I was looking for and more... I personally didn't have any issues finding the shoes I was looking for- but I did ask to try another of the same shoe & size to see if they felt different and they did not have anymore. I also heard a woman come in & ask for a size 42 which they either do not carry or Louboutin does not even make, just a heads up. read more

Flagship CL store. Small. Men's side next door. Better selection at Galeries Lafayette. Security limits number on store as small space. Interesting for shoe fiends only. read more

Uuum, Christian Louboutin. Shoes, a lot of pretty shoes. Enough said.

Service is cool. Not much selection for guys though. Maybe because I missed a restock. Store is beautiful though
