Even if you don't plan - or can't afford - to buy, browsing in Paris's
shops and markets
is one of the city's chief delights. Flair for style and design is as evident here asit is in other aspects of Paris life. Parisians' epicurean tendencies and fierce attachment to their small local traders have kept alive a wonderful variety of speciality shops, despite the pressures to concentrate consumption in gargantuan underground and multistorey complexes. One of the best shopping areas is the square kilometre around
place St-Germain-des-PrAŠs
, packed with books, antiques, gorgeous garments, artworks and playthings. But in every
quartier
you'll find enticing displays of all manner of consumables. Other useful information
