I always go here to get my Paris candle as it is next to a friend's home. This time a new vendor,…read morebig, darker skin lady, as soon as I came in, she agressively asked how can I help you, and I immediately said Paris candle. Then I was with my friend about to look around to see what she would want as her birthday gift. The "new vendor" had no manner at all, rushing us to pay. I was surprised to be treated as if I were in a Boulangerie. Maybe she is more suited to work at McDonalds. It is wrong for them to hire this person. She was rude and uneducated. I found 2 other items to purchase as a gift and she was reluctant to wrap it. When I got out I noticed she did not even asked if I wanted any samples, which they usually offer. I spent about 400Eur for stupid candles and there was nothing nice as a service. Truly dissapointing.

I HAD to stop by Diptyque while in Paris. The candles and…read moreperfumes are a true example of Parisian chic. Are they pricey? Yes. But this isn't your average candle in my opinion. The scents, the packaging and the burn time place them on the higher end of candles and I like to use the finished glass as pen or make up brush holders. This location was intimate, but had a wealth of scents for both candles and perfumes. I walked in and was greeted warmly by the shop associates. Lucky for me, the lovely woman who helped me spoke English well and helped me practice my French while I was shopping. She was great and helped me pick out a few candles for gifts, and even boxed them beautifully for me and threw in Diptyque matches and samples of their perfumes. For those of you leery of the price point, this is an elegant gift to bring back from Paris. And, they currently are listed at $64 in the US (not including tax). I purchased mine for 48€ which comes to about $56. If you add in local taxes (in SF it's almost 9%) you end up saving about $10-12 which is a pretty good deal.

My son and I did the Notre-Dame Lego set together, and we were both excited to visit the real…read morecathedral when we were in Paris last month. Unfortunately, he picked up a stomach bug and spent our Notre-Dame day in our hotel room instead. I'd been to Notre-Dame before, but not in many years, and not since the reconstruction after the 2019 fire. I ended up going after dinner on our last night in town, and while I couldn't go inside, I was happy to see it again in person. It's a beautiful church, iconic and instantly recognizable, whether or not you've spent hours of your life constructing it in Legos. The plaza in front of it was also quite pleasant at night, calm but lively and nicely lit. I do hope to go in again one day, and I'd love to take my boys with me. For now, I'm glad I got to see it up close on this trip.

But prior to getting in the roped line, it was a free for all trying to get into the line. Someone should be standing there instructing. Anyway, another beautiful church. Sorry about your 2019 fire, but the remodel is coming along well. I think the inside is pretty much done. Ambiance - Again, I am sure my pictures did not do this place justice. So also check out their website. Service - Self service. Price - Free, thank you. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success. If you are following, I am sure you are seeing a BIG difference with my reviews. I just can not keep up with the reviews during my travels. So reviews are getting shorter and shorter.

Everything Pop Market sells is ridiculously cute, but totally tasteful as well. From candles and toy robots to vinyl place mats and iron-on decals, they have an amazingly eclectic stock. The prices are just as appealing as the bright candy-colored decor of the boutique, so you don't have to worry about getting sucked into spending way more than you planned for. They're also one of the few shops to sell La Case de Cousin Paul light kits http://www.lacasedecousinpaul.com/ which are perfect for sprucing up those sad, underlit corners of your apt.

I went to Paris with a hip injury, and decided to make something positive with my cane. I also bought flowers for our trip to Père Lachaise Cemetery. Next, I returned to buy gifts for loved ones in the US. I adored the flower bracelets, and bought 10, then I bought the lotion and LOVE it. I have asthma, but this didn't bother me. I bought candles and candies, and cards, too. I felt slightly deceived that this had the appearance of a small mom and pop store, but it's a huge franchise with stores in many countries, but not the US and they don't ship to the US. I was so bummed they couldn't at least ship no perishable items, such as the lotions and candles, and jewelries. I really wanted more of the lotion, but was just out of luck. I guess I'll have to return to Paris!!!!
