4 Stroll from St. Germain to the Louvre (6th - 1st) This tour takes between 1 and 3 hours depending on how much time you spend in the Louvre. (Can be done day or night, although some places are not open at night of course.) Begin at 1. Rue Bonaparte and Blvd St. Germain across from Église St. Germain (one of the oldest churches in Paris and worth a look). Closest metro stop is Odeon. You will be next to the über-famous 2. Deux Magots café at 6 Pl. St. Germain-des-Prés, which was the favored café of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. Some people love to go here to say they did. We prefer 3. Café de Flore, at 172 Blvd. St. Germain next door but in general both are overpriced and the waiters can be less than friendly. Stroll on rue Bonaparte towards the Seine passing Louis Vuitton on your left. Turn right on rue Jacob. If you are already winded (God help you!) you can stop into 4. Ladurée (located at 21 rue Bonaparte) for lovely palmiers (elephant ears) or any other pastry and a cup of tea. This is a great place to buy a gift, as the boxes and packaging are as delicious as the French pastries. Ladurée has several other locations around Paris, including one on the Champs-Élysées as well as another near the Madeleine. They are famous for their macaroons. Continue along rue Jacob, which is a wonderful street chock-full of fabulous shops, antiques, and bookstores. Turn left on rue de Seine. This street is well known for its art galleries and the artist hangout 5. La Palette at 43 rue de Seine. They serve breakfast and it s always a good stop for a drink. They have been here since As the name implies, it was frequented by painters back in the day and is still very popular with tourists and Parisians alike. Continue on towards the Seine on rue de Seine stopping as you like in the galleries. Take note of rue de Seine where Simone de Beauvoir lived. She was a brilliant French philosopher and feminist. Which is back down south on rue de Seine a few blocks. Also notice the old photo shop near the end of rue de Seine, Roger-Viollet on your left as you approach the river, which has been selling photos of Paris and other places since the early 1900s. Cross the street just after rue Mazarine and go through the small porthole doorway. And voilà you are in the square which is home to the spectacular Institut de France created in 1795 and which encompasses the Beaux-Arts and the Académie Française among other Academies. After you are done taking pictures of the Institut with its marvelous gold dome, cross the street walking across the 7. Pont des Arts pedestrian bridge. This is our favorite pedestrian bridge, which sees a lot of activity in the summer as people set up picnics with candelabras, couscous and wine. It s also a popular bridge on New Year s Eve where many Parisians congregate with their bottles of champagne because you can see the sparkling Eiffel Tower from here. Everyone wishes each other a Bonne Année! and if you are in Paris on New Year s, it s a must! Enjoy the view as you pass across and then enter one of the back entrances to the square outside the Louvre, which will be right in front of you. Even at night you may go in this way. It s fun to imagine that you re coming home via carriage to your palace after a ball, back in the time of the Louis. As you pass the small gardens on either side and walk towards the fountain, imagine you ll have to choose which of the many rooms you might want to sleep in tonight. 8. The Louvre is the largest museum in the 24

5 Stroll from St. Germain to the Louvre (6th - 1st) world. Construction began in the 12th century on the building and it was used back then as a palace by François the 1st as well as the Sun King, Louis XIV. It did not become a museum until the early 1800s. After you have marveled at this square inside the many exterior walls of the Louvre, walk towards the archway to your left and pause for the dramatic view of the pyramide, then proceed through this archway and enjoy the larger square of the Louvre site. You can enter the museum through the pyramide, designed by I.M. Pei and opened in There was an uproar in Paris when it first opened, but now most Parisians feel that the pyramide is a perfect marriage of the new with the old. It is especially beautiful when seen at night the pyramide somehow makes the entire site more exciting and alive and with its shape echoes the ancient past as well as feeling quite modern even though it is now 20 years old. There are 35,000 works of art here so do not try and do it all. Pick one small area, enjoy that and be satisfied. After your visit, stop for a bite at Café Marly, which faces the pyramide and is open every day for lunch and dinner. This is the best view of the pyramide and the Louvre in Paris. If you have time and your feet aren t aching yet continue straight on towards the small Arc de Triomphe structure which is named the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel. [The vrai (real) Arc de Triomphe is a very long walk away at the end of the Champs-Élysées.] Straight ahead are the Tuileries Gardens. The famous garden architect, Le Nôtre, planned the Tuileries. There is a carnival here in the summer. The sculptures in the gardens are lovely not far from the Arc. Note the large piece by Louise Bourgeois, a French artist who now lives in New York, of a large spider eerily titled Maman (mother). This is the same sculpture you will find at the Guggenheim Bilbao in Spain & the Tate Modern in London. Bourgeois is an important artist who is still going strong into her late 90s. She had to wait until she was quite old after her husband and father had both died to be noticed by the international art establishment. Enjoy the Tuileries at a casual pace stop for a crêpe at one of the stands. You ll end at the Place de la Concorde where Marie Antoinette had her head chopped off. Don t worry; they don t do that kind of thing anymore in Paris. Go for a tea or a glass of champagne at the 9. Hôtel de Crillon on the Place de la Concorde. This is the best hotel in Paris with a fabulous gift shop. You ll be right near the metro stop Concorde right on the place. Points of Interest Addresses 1.

8 Stroll along the Rue du Cherche-Midi A good street for an hour-long shop-andstroll, or longer. Start at rue Cherche Midi and rue Dupin. The closest metro stop is Rennes on the corner of Blvd Raspail and Rennes. Walk north on Raspail and turn left on Cherche Midi until you get to rue Dupin. Its worth noting that if you turn right on Cherche Midi you ll come to 1. Le Cherche Midi at number 22 ( ). It has the most delicious antipasto we ve ever had outside of Italy, but reservations must be made in advance, so come back another day once you reserve. One of the Girls Guide s favorite Italian restaurants is on this street, the eponymously named 2. Au Nom de la Rose at 50 is worth noticing even though it s a chain. It s a unique flower shop selling only roses. Consider this your welcome to the beautiful rue Cherche Midi. All addresses are on Cherche-Midi except where noted. 3. The Nemrod Café at 51 is a typical Parisian brasserie for a bite or a coffee. 4. Autour du Monde, a chain with shops all over Paris, has an outpost at 57 selling wearable, reasonably priced stylish clothing. 5. Mamie Gâteaux at 66 rue du Cherche- Midi is a charming tea salon plus they have a boutique and a brocante (antiques) shop! 6. M.A. Dauliac at 67 is good for antiques and vintage art as well as art deco objects. Now take a good stroll down the rue until you reach until you reach the cross street rue St. Romain. Note 7. Le Bistrot Landais at 104 rue du Cherche-Midi ( ) is a good place to duck in for some hearty Landais food, think duck, foie gras and pâté. Further down after a couple of blocks, turn right on rue Mayet, at 24, is the used English bookshop 8. Tea and Tattered Pages ( ) where you can pick up a cheap read and enjoy a cup of tea. In the same area you ll find the newly finished 9. Hammam Pacha at 17 rue Mayet ( ). Mayet is a street off rue du Cherche-Midi just before you reach Blvd Montparnasse. Why not book an afternoon to relax in the sauna, ending in a four-hand massage? Also on the same street you ll find 10. Maison de Fanfan, which is a very good consignment shop specializing in smaller sizes. Near the tea salon there are several different stores all under the banner Chercheminippes, each specializing in consignment clothing for men, women and children, all located on rue du Cherche-Midi. See if you can find a deal. Follow Mayet to the end, turn left on rue de Sèvres and follow for a long block until you get to the Duroc metro stop.

12 Stroll from St. Germain to Notre Dame (6th - 5th) This tour takes between 2 and 4 hours depending on how long you linger. Begin at the 1. Carrefour de l Odéon near Blvd St. Germain. Near the metro stop Odeon. Notice the statue of Georges Danton, an early leading figure in the French Revolution. You might want to start with lunch at 2. Le Comptoir du Relais, at 5 Carrefour de l Odeon ( ) which is a café by day where no reservations are required for lunch, and a fancier bistro by night, when reservations are a must. Head north towards the Seine crossing the Blvd. St. Germain but do not go up rue de l'ancienne Comédie. Continue a bit further along Blvd. St. Germain to the right, heading east, and take a left very quickly on Cour du Commerce. This is a lovely little back way stroll. 2b. Un Dimanche à Paris, Cour de Commerce, which you'll notice on your right is a new chocolate store, actually it's more a chocolate experience. Not only do they sell chocolates, pastries and wonderful edible gifts, they have a chocolate lounge with chocolate inspired cocktails and a chocolate focused restaurant, no joke! This chocolate wonderland exists thanks to the imagination of Pierre Cluizel, whose family has been making chocolate since Notice the historic 3. Restaurant Le Procope 13 rue de l Ancienne Comedie on your left where Benjamin Franklin dined. (We don t recommend the restaurant, as it is too touristy for our tastes.) There is also a cute toy store further down on the left. This passageway will lead you to rue St. André-des-Arts turn right here. This is a fun day or evening stroll. There are some cute shops along St. André-des-Arts but nothing terribly chic or original. The area is enchanting as this is actually what Paris looked like before the architect Haussmann tore down these small neighborhoods in order to make the wide boulevards we now see on the right bank. Note the 4. Bistro Allard at 41 St. André-des- Arts ( ) which is a classic bistro and worth remembering for dinner. They are famous for their whole duck covered in olives. It s a very friendly place though a bit touristy. Continue along St. André until you reach Blvd Saint- Michel and cross over, zigzagging a bit as you enter the 5th Arrondissement and continue on rue St. Séverin all the way through to rue St. Jacques. The 5. Church St. Séverin is worth noting for it is a very old gothic example and its organ is quite famous duck in for a look. The church began construction in the 11 th century, but most of what you ll see dates from the 15 th century. Cross over rue St. Jacques and pick up the angled rue St. Julien-le-Pauvre to see what is often thought of as the oldest church in Paris, dating back to the 12 th century. 6. Église St. Julien-le-Pauvre. Here they frequently have music performances such as Vivaldi s Four Seasons or the Ave Maria, which we highly recommend. Look for the schedules posted around town and near the church itself. They also have these performances at Sainte-Chapelle, Église St. Germain and other notable churches. Across the street, if you are here at night, there is a funky little café called 7. Aux Trois Mailletz 56 rue Galande at the corner of rue St. Julien-le-Pauvre and Galande ( ) complete with a bad Edith Piaf imitator singing in the back. The basement has a café and more jazz. If you are in the mood for kitsch, have a couple of glasses here. Also on rue Galande, there is a special little Japanese store called 8. Le Chat Huant, 50 & 52 rue Galande ( ). We have found some charming tea cups in there and other goodies from Asia that are finely crafted. Heading Inspire Partners, LLC and Girls Guide to Paris. All Rights Reserved 13

13 Stroll from St. Germain to Notre Dame (6th - 5th) back up rue St. Julien-le-Pauvre towards the Seine there is a darling tea salon called 9. the Tea Caddy that has been at number 14 rue St Julienle-Pauvre since At 4 rue St. Julien-le-Pauvre you ll find the 10. Hôtel Esmeralda immortalized in the children s book Linnea in Monet s Garden ( ). Take a quick look inside it s about as old Paris bohemian chic as you can get as well as a real bargain. We understand that apartment 3 is particularly charming. Continue along towards the Seine to the Quai de Montebello turn left on rue de la Bûcherie. Here you ll find our favorite bookshop in Paris and one of the most unusual bookshops in the world, called 11. Shakespeare and Co. at 37 rue de la Bûcherie ( ). There are a number of books written about it but our favorite is Time Was Soft There by Jeremy Mercer. George Whitman, an American now in his 90s, began the bookshop in 1951 and everybody and we mean everybody has done readings here. They still have poetry and other readings on Monday nights at 7pm. Check the website for details. Take a long look around this place and you ll find many surprises. George has let struggling writers stay here over the years and you ll see evidence note the small beds placed here and there. The place is open until 11pm and you ll undoubtedly meet some interesting folks here. George s daughter now runs the shop but his motto remains on the wall on the 2nd floor Be not inhospitable to strangers lest they be angels in disguise. This place harkens back to a lost time that somehow manages to live on strongly here in this tiny shop across from Notre Dame. If you need a quick coffee, stop in at 12. Café Panis, 21 Quai de Montebello ( ) where all the Shakespeare & Co staff go for drinks or tea. Café Panis is just outside the bookshop to your right, about half a block down the street past the park. After your literary exposure, you ll be ready for spirituality! Go across on the pedestrian bridge (on the weekends this bridge turns into a rollerblading and skateboarding stage) to 13. Notre Dame. Stand in line to see this monumental Gothic beauty even if you have seen it before we try to go in each time we are in Paris. It is simply amazing that this church is nearly 850 years old. If you haven t done it, circle around to the side and stand in line to climb to the top, there s a great view from the roof. Then walk around to the back of Notre-Dame on the Seine side through the lovely gardens and take a much needed rest in the back garden, which is often very quiet even when Notre-Dame is swamped. The back of Notre-Dame is just as impressive as the façade with its famed flying buttresses and gargoyles. Further behind Notre Dame is a serene and moving monument that is a bit hard to find. It s at the very tip of Île de la Cité and is called the 14. Mémorial des Martyrs de la Déportation. This is a memorial to the 200,000 Jewish people and others who were deported from France during the German occupation of the 1940 s and sent off to Nazi concentration camps. Pick up your mood by crossing over the bridge to Île Saint-Louis and try the 15. Brasserie de l'île St. Louis at 55 Quai de Bourbon ( ). This is a perfect stop for a pint of frosty cold beer and some French fries or choucroute (the famous Alsatian dish of potatoes, wieners and sauerkraut). A drink on the terrace in fine weather is just what the doctor ordered. Or, stroll further down the rue St. Louis-en l Île and sample some of the famous 16. Berthillon Ice Cream at 31 rue St. -Louis-en-l Île ( ) Continue down the rue St. Louis-en-l Île until the end and cross over to the right bank onto Blvd Henri IV and continue on into the Marais or go Inspire Partners, LLC and Girls Guide to Paris.

17 Gourmet Tour Begin your gourmet tour in the 5th Arrondissement at 1. the Marché Maubert, which takes place Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 7 to 2:30 at the Place Maubert, near the Maubert- Mutualité metro. Peruse the different stalls and vendors, asking for samples when appropriate. You might see fish and shellfish you ve never seen before, so don t be afraid to ask what something is, especially if there is no one waiting to be served. In general the vendors are quite friendly. You might want to buy some fruit or sausage to sample later. For cheese, duck into 2. Dubois, which is at 47, boulevard St.-Germain ( ), facing the market on the same side of the boulevard. Laurent Dubois won a prize called the Meilleur des Fromages, meaning that he is recognized not only for his quality cheeses, but also for the artistic way he prepares and ages his products. His goat cheeses are particularly impressive. We think you ll find plenty of fromage to buy and sample here. Walking down the street toward the 5th and turning right on rue Monge, you ll find a prizewinning boulangerie called 3. Kayser at 14, rue Monge ( ). Eric Kayser is very famous for his cereal breads, but we love his seeded baguettes. His pastries are also divine. Buy and sample as much as you can! Note: he has another store at 8, rue Monge, as well as many more throughout Paris. After all this sampling, turn right on rue des Bernardins and follow the road south until it ends at rue des Écoles, where you ll turn right. Go to rue de la Montagne-Ste.-Geneviève and take a left, curving around until you hit rue Clovis. Turn left and go into the church 4. St.-Étienne-du- Mont, a beautiful Gothic structure from You are at place Ste.-Geneviève, near the Panthéon. If you haven t yet visited King Louis XV s monument to himself, the Panthéon, you can check it out now. After you ve had your spiritual and cultural side revitalized, follow rue Clovis toward rue Descartes, where you ll turn right. You ll stroll along this street until it becomes 5. rue Mouffetard, which is a classic Parisian market street. During Roman times, this was known as the road to Rome. It is a very ancient street, indeed. Everyone who comes to Paris strolls at one point along rue Mouffetard. You ll see some very touristy cafés, which you should avoid. If you want to stop, wait until the very end of the street, where you ll find an adorable little café called 6. La Salle à Manger at 136, rue Mouffetard on your right. You can have tea or coffee here alfresco on their small terrace. But before you get there, about one -third of the way down Mouffetard, you will run into a square, Place de la Contrescarpe, with a fountain. Around the corner here is 7. 74, rue du Cardinal-Lemoine, where you will find a little plaque indicating that Ernest Hemingway once lived on the third floor. He shared a coldwater flat here with his first wife while he wrote A Moveable Feast. You can spend an entire day or two trailing Hemingway s life in Paris by following Michael Palin s Hemingway walk. If you love ice cream, 8. Octave Ice Cream, at 138, rue Mouffetard, is a good bet. If you need more gourmet fun, check out 9. Le Boulanger de Monge, at 123, rue Monge, a street which is parallel to Mouffetard ( ). This bread maker was given three stars for their baguette by Le Guide des Boulangeries. To find this spot, walk to the end of Mouffetard and down rue de Bazeilles until you get to rue Monge. Turn left on you ll see Le Boulanger on your right. 10. Les Caves du Panthéon, at 174, rue St.- Jacques ( ), is an excellent wine store. Pick up a bottle of Brut Zero Champagne. To reach this stop, travel north on rue Mouffetard up to rue Jean Calvin and turn left. When you reach the place Lucien Herr take rue LHomond 23

18 Gourmet Tour north until it jogs and become rue des Fossés-Saint -Jacques. Follow this road until you reach rue Saint -Jacques and turn right. Les Caves will be on your left before you reach rue Soufflot. You ll be near the Cluny-Sorbonne metro stop which is further north on rue St-Jacques and then left on Blvd. St- Germain.

22 Pastry and Chocolate Tour This stroll is over two kilometers, because you ve got to walk off the calories, ladies! Biking the tour is another option. NOTE: Shops might be closed on Sundays. Start in the 6th Arrondissement at 1. St.- Sulpice, on rue Palatine, and enjoy the beautiful redone fountains. Stop inside the church if you never have and view the Delacroix painting in the small alcove to the right as you walk in. This church figured heavily in The Da Vinci Code. If you need some caffeine, 2. Café de la Mairie (just to the right of the church as you exit onto the square) is a good stop and a true neighborhood café. Walk on rue St.-Sulpice toward rue Bonaparte and take a right, looking out for 3. Pierre Hermé, at 72, rue Bonaparte ( ). He is the absolute king of macaroons in Paris. French macaroons, not the coconut ones we know in the U.S. Do sample the rose macaroons, which are the Girls Guide favorites, but each and every flavor is excellent. These make a marvelous gift as long as you are giving them out soon as they don t keep long. All of Pierre s pastries are worth the calories, as he is truly a master. Turn back toward rue St.-Sulpice and follow rue Bonaparte until you reach rue de Vaugirard at the Luxembourg Gardens. Turn right, walk several blocks and turn right on rue d Assas. Walk to number 16 and enter 4. Jean-Charles Rochoux s chocolate shop ( ). He makes incredibly artistic busts of famous French figures such as Molière, as well as many other more traditional chocolates. Save yourself some room, as we have several more stops to go. Go back to rue de Vaugirard, taking some time now to stroll through 5. the Luxembourg Gardens. The Luxembourg Gardens center around the Marie de Medici s palace constructed in the early 1600 s. Marie, widow of Henry the IV, also commissioned the gardens. The Palace is used today by the Senate of France. Find the Medici fountain built in 1630 to the rear and east of the palace, which is a charming place to relax on a sunny day. 6. the Musée du Luxembourg, a delightful small museum that often has excellent shows. Stop in and experience some culture. * Exiting the museum, continue along Vaugirard toward rue de Tournon. Stop and admire the Palais du Luxembourg (Le Sénat), which was formerly Marie de Médicis s palace and is now home to the French Senate. Turn left here, onto rue de Tournon. Walk along this street until it becomes rue de Seine. Here you ll find 7. Gérard Mulot, at 76, rue de Seine (corner of rue Lobineau). We love everything at Mulot, so sample whatever catches your eye. Maybe you are ready for a bit of a savory taste. Their small quiches are excellent, and they will warm them up for you. Follow rue de Seine north toward boulevard St.- Germain, where you ll turn right. Walk all the way to number 108, the chocolate master 8. Patrick Roger s delightful store. We love the fantastic window displays and his creative concoctions using spices from all around the world. Plus, the plain chocolate bars are simply superb. We love his aqua-green packaging, and all in all we just LOVE Patrick Roger. Pick up a gift here unless you are already loaded down. For a peaceful end to a decadent day, we suggest a stop into 9. Diptyque, at 34, boulevard St.- Germain ( ), to pick up a gift for yourself or a friend. Their candles and perfumes are legendary.

24 5th Arrondissement Walk This tour can be done in two half-day sessions, or the hearty traveler can take an entire day to visit the sights of the Latin Quarter. Welcome to the 5th Arrondissement, also known as the Latin Quarter because of the large number of international students who spoke Latin in the area starting as far back as the mid-12th century. Begin at 1. Shakespeare and Company, at 37, rue de la Bûcherie, just off the quai de Montebello and rue St.-Jacques. The closest metro stop is St.-Michel. Shakespeare and Company is a unique bookstore and a favorite for any literary lover. It was founded by George Whitman, an American resting in Paris after World War II and brushing up on his French at the Sorbonne. The books he accumulated while studying warranted the opening of the store, where many notable writers passed through to read, write or take a bed during tough times. The store still encourages new and established scribes to share their work during regularly scheduled readings. After perusing the many books, exit the store and turn right, into the adjacent park at Square René Viviani. Spin around for a fabulous view of Notre Dame, and then find a leaning tree in the back right corner. You re now looking at what is believed to be the oldest tree in Paris, planted in Continue past the tree to the gate in the right corner and enter 2. Eglise St.-Julien-le- Pauvre on your left. It s said that parts of the church date as far back as the 6th century, but most of it is a mix of Roman and Gothic influences from the 11th and 12th centuries. It became a Greek Orthodox church in the late 1800s because there were so many other Catholic churches nearby, including the one you will be visiting next. Turn left out of the church and cross rue du Petit Pont ahead, and you ll be looking at the side of 3. Eglise St.-Séverin. Note the expressive gargoyles hanging off the side of the building, and then walk around to the front of the church and admire the flames above, which lend credence to its architectural style, Flamboyant Gothic. Compare the 16th-century stained glass in the back of the church with the newer 19thand 20th-century designs in the front. Exit at the back left and turn right onto St.- Jacques, right onto St.-Germain and left into the Square de Cluny. Walk to the far left and admire the gardens and the medicinal plants scattered throughout. Follow the signs around to the right for the 4. Musée national du Moyen Age, inside of which you ll find medieval art, stained glass, gothic sculpture and the museum s most prized possession, a collection of 15th-century tapestries called "The Lady and the Unicorn. Exiting the museum, step into the small garden across the street and you ll be looking at one of the buildings of the 5. Sorbonne. It was founded in 1257, making it one of the first universities in the world, and now has 18 locations. Entrance to the Inspire Partners, LLC and Girls Guide to Paris. All Rights Reserved 24

25 5th Arrondissement Walk school is only possible with a student or staff ID, but anyone can apply for enrollment. Turn left onto rue des Ecoles, and then right onto rue St.-Jacques. Climb the hill and make a right onto rue Soufflot, and you ll be staring at the 6. Panthéon. Honestly, it s no St. Peter s, but you can tour the Panthéon to see where some of the French greats were buried, like Victor Hugo, Marie Curie and Voltaire. Or go to the roof for expansive views of Paris. Exiting the building to the right, follow it around to the back, and you ll find the impressive 7. Eglise St.-Etienne-du-Mont, the site of many pilgrimages to visit the patron saint of the church, who is honored for saving Paris from Attila the Hun. Completed in 1626, this Gothic church took over 125 years to create. Turn right down the windy rue de la Montagne-Ste.-Geneviève and cross over rue des Ecoles, and you ll see an institutional-looking building on your left, which houses a police station as well as the 8. Musée de la prefecture de police. You need to walk through the police station to reach the museum on the second floor, but you will be rewarded with something other than your typical art and sculpture collections. While most information is in French, you can grab an English brochure to read about the crimes and descriptions of serial killers. You ll also see an assortment of murder weapons, such as a guillotine, hammers, ice picks and pistols. Outside on the corner, you ll find the 9. Place Maubert, and if you time your visit for a Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday morning, you ll be in for a gastronomical treat, thanks to a farmer s market selling the best of the season. Grab some fresh fruit, a strong, French cheese and some charcuterie for a spontaneous outdoor picnic. Fromagerie Laurent Dubois, at 47, boulevard St.-Germain, has some of the best cheese in Paris. If it s not a market day, there are also good specialty shops at the Place Maubert for sampling similar local fare. You can also turn right on St.-Germain and right onto rue Monge for 10. Eric Kayser. Purchase a baguette, pastry or any other bread product that catches your eye at this award-winning boulangerie. With cheese and bread, you ll be all set for a picnic in the Jardin des Plantes, which you ll find later in this tour. Just across the street on the corner of rue Monge and rue des Bernardins is 11. Eglise St.-Nicolas-du-Chardonnet. This church is the headquarters of the less-thantraditional Society of St.-Pius, which in the 1970s did not agree with many changes in church laws and was to be expelled from the location. It never left and still remains today. It continues to believe in delivering the mass in Latin with the altar and priest facing away from the congregation. Continue left up rue Monge, crossing rue des Ecoles, and turn right on rue du Cardinal Lemoine. Go up the hill to No. 74, Inspire Partners, LLC and Girls Guide to Paris. All Rights Reserved 25

26 5th Arrondissement Walk where you ll see a plaque announcing the residence of 12. Ernest Hemingway. This is where Hemingway lived with his first wife and wrote A Moveable Feast. If your legs can take you no farther, end the day s tour ahead on 13. rue Mouffetard, a foodie-filled street. Beware of the many tourist spots, and head down the hill where there are a few decent spots to eat. For the diehards ready to see all of the 5 th in a day, retrace your steps back down to rue Monge and continue until you see the simple archway for the 14. Arènes de Lutèce. Step inside and you ll find an old Roman arena that once held up to 15,000 spectators. Built around the end of the first century AD, it was rediscovered under debris in While you will no longer be able to catch any gladiators doing battle, you will find students playing sports or French men playing boules. Walk all the way through to see the gardens and fountain in the back. Pass the playground, and exit the gate to the left onto rue des Arènes. Turn right on rue Linné, right on rue Lacépède and left onto rue de Quatrefages. Halfway down the block, you ll see a beautiful tiled archway for the 15. Grande Mosquée de Paris. The mosque was completed in 1926 as a sign of appreciation to the Muslim community for helping the French battle the Germans in World War I. There is an area for worship and study, and visitors can tour part of the facility and enjoy the café s mint tea and North African food. Retrace your steps back to rue Lacépède and cross rue Geoffroy-St.-Hilaire and enter the gates to the 16. Jardin des Plantes and the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle. Stay to the left and you ll dead-end into the Cabinet d Histoire, or continue to the right to the Grande Galerie de l'evolution, which will entertain kids and adults alike with its life-size animal displays. You ll see whales, monkeys and birds all hanging from the ceiling, with elephants, dinosaurs and giraffes surrounding them. Want something more lifelike? Step into the garden s menagerie to interact with live animals, or simply wander the beautiful grounds and admire the flowers, trees and large collection of medicinal plants. Exit the opposite end of the gardens onto the Place Valhubert, crossing the few streets directly in front of you until you reach the quai St.-Bernard. Turn left on the quai and take the lower path down to the water to 17. Jardin Tino Rossi (Musée de la sculpture en plein air). Wander the series of serene walkways, and just before you reach the bridge, turn left to return to street level. The large glass 18. Institut du Monde Arabe will be in front of you. Cross the street and enter the sun-sensitive building. You can learn more about Islamic history, archaeology and arts here. Enjoy the quality bookshop on the ground floor, or go straight to the roof for panoramic views of Paris. If you want to enjoy a meal with your view, make a reservation at the Lebanese restaurant Le Zyriab, also on the roof Inspire Partners, LLC and Girls Guide to Paris. All Rights Reserved 26

27 If you d prefer some French food after your long tour of the 5th Arrondissement, make a reservation at the high-end, one-starred Michelin restaurant 19. La Tour d Argent, just down the street at 15, quai de la Tournelle. It not only offers outstanding food, but its dining room has spectacular views of Notre Dame. Alternately, a less expensive but very romantic place to dine is Le Coupe-Chou, at 9 11, rue de Lanneau, near the Sorbonne. There s also the newer Restaurant Sola, at 12, rue de l'hôtel Colbert, for sublime French-Japanese fusion.

35 6th Arrondissement Walking Tour Note: The Saint-Germain-des-Prés area is chock-full of stores, shops and little cafés for the ultimate Parisian day of walking and shopping. Give yourself an entire afternoon to enjoy this tour. Start at the 1. Eglise Saint-Sulpice near the Saint- Sulpice metro station. Construction of this church, which replaced a 13th-century church, began in 1646 and was mostly complete a century later. As you enter the church, on the right side you ll see celebrated frescoes by Eugène Delacroix. Be sure to turn on the light to see them well. The church is also famous for its organ, which was built in the late 18th century and is one of the world s largest. It has been played by many renowned musicians. Light a candle in honor of a loved one and get ready for a full day. If you need sustenance, exit the church and turn to the right, stopping for a coffee at 2. Café de la Mairie (8, Place Saint-Sulpice), which has chairs that face the historic and famous Saint-Sulpice fountain, built in the center of the square between 1844 and 1848 and designed by the architect Louis Visconti, who also designed Napoleon s tomb. This is a popular café in the neighborhood, and it has the best view. There is something to see, do, eat, smell or buy in every direction. You won t be able to do it all, so it s best not to try. As you face the café, head to the left, walking toward the Seine on rue Saint-Sulpice, and you ll see 3. Annick Goutal (12, Place Saint-Sulpice), a perfume house known for its butterfly-capped bottles. These fragrances make wonderful gifts for friends or yourself. Immediately after this shop you ll find 4. Comptoir des Cotonniers (12, Place Saint-Sulpice) on the corner of Place Saint- Sulpice and rue Bonaparte, which has chic, affordable cotton clothing. Across the street, on rue du Vieux Colombier, is 5. The Kooples (74, rue Bonaparte), which carries a young rock-and-roll look. Next door is 6. Hervé Chapelier (1 bis, rue du Vieux Colombier), famous for its nylon bags. They fold up neatly, which makes them easy to take home as gifts in your suitcase; they re also great to have on hand in case you do more shopping today than you anticipated. Before you continue down rue du Vieux Colombier, take a right on rue Bonaparte. Three stores in on the left is 7. Pierre Hermé s first shop in Paris (72, rue Bonaparte). Stand in line to get the famous macarons or any of the other sweets. We adore the rose-flavored macarons. This is one of the bestknown patisseries in Paris. Turn back and take a right on rue du Vieux Colombier. Notice the two boutiques of 8. Zadig et Voltaire (1 3, rue du Vieux Colombier) on the left after Hervé Chapelier. Z&V presents a style that is part Malibu surfer, part rock and roll. The first store is for women, and the second is for men. Across the street is an 9. Agnès B. (6, rue du Vieux Colombier) boutique for women. This French designer gives us a classic Parisian look and is affordably chic. At the corner of rue du Vieux Colombier and rue Madame, 10. Vilebrequin (5, rue du Vieux Colombier) carries cute French swimming trunks for men and boys. Also nearby is an 11. Agnès B. shop for men (12, rue du Vieux Colombier), where you can always find great gifts to take home to the men in your life. A cute bistro for lunch either today or another time is 12. Au Vieux Colombier (65, rue de Rennes), at the corner of rue du Vieux Colombier and rue de Rennes, with lovely art deco decor and a classic Parisian atmosphere. While the food won t win awards, the reasonably priced French bistro fare will keep your pocketbook happy. Cross rue de Rennes toward the André shoe store (this is a discount store that we don t think is worth a stop) and continue north on rue du Vieux Colombier, toward the Seine. Down the street you ll see 13. Victoire Homme (15, rue du Vieux Colombier), a wonderful men s clothing store. Several doors down is 14. Marcel Lassance (17, rue du Vieux Colombier), also excellent for menswear. Farther along is 2013 Inspire Partners, LLC and Girls Guide to Paris. All Rights Reserved 35

36 6th Arrondissement Walking Tour 15. Longchamp (21, rue du Vieux Colombier), a classic French label for handbags and luggage, and beyond that is the 16. Théâtre du Vieux Colombier (21, rue du Vieux Colombier), one of the venues where the Comédie Française performs. If you speak French, buy tickets for a show. As you come to the corner you ll approach the Carrefour de la Croix Rouge, with five choices of direction. If you follow rue de Sèvres, you ll come to 17. le Bon Marché (24, rue de Sèvres), which is the oldest department store in Paris and one of the city s best. There is great shopping in each direction, but first go down rue du Cherche Midi to the left. On the corner you ll see 18. Camper (25, rue du Vieux Colombier), a Spanish men s and women s shoe company, with a particularly good selection of comfortable shoes for men. Turn left on rue du Cheche Midi. As you turn you ll see a large half-man, half-horse statue, named Le Centaure, created in the 1980s by the French sculptor César. There are many shops worth noting on rue du Cherche Midi, the first being 19. Robert Clergerie (5, rue du Cherche Midi), which carries elegant shoes. Next is a stock store of 20. Maje (6, rue du Cherche Midi), which offers discounts on the brand s wellloved French designs. A good place to stock up on hosiery is 21. Gerbe (4, rue du Cherche Midi), which was established in Farther along on the right, and probably the most famous place on this street, is the boulangerie 22. Poilâne (8, rue du Cherche Midi). It is known for its hearty French country bread, not baguettes. If you are ready for lunch, have a quick bite at the Poilâne-owned 23. la Cuisine de Bar (8, rue du Cherche Midi), offering open toasted sandwiches on Poilâne s celebrated bread. Across the street is 24. Metal Pointu s (13, rue du Cherche Midi), which specializes in very funky silver jewelry. For a more sophisticated style, try 25. le Civette (15, rue du Cherche Midi), or 26. Lilith (12, rue du Cherche Midi) for a range of interesting artistic designs. On the left, look for 27. Cotélac (17, rue du Cherche Midi) for men s and women s clothing. At No. 19, look for the lovely bas-relief above the Catherine André shop, which depicts a bearded man and a cherub-like figure tracing a sundial, and is inscribed with the words Je cherche midi. Step inside 28. Cécile et Jeanne* (16, rue du Cherche Midi) for inventive costume jewelry. For sumptuous, terribly French curtains and fabric, go to 29. N. Villaret (20, rue du Cherche Midi). To enjoy our favorite Italian restaurant in Paris, head to 30. le Cherche Midi (22, rue du Cherche Midi), where reservations are essential. The 31. Heimstone (23, rue du Cherche Midi) boutique embodies a funky, fun bohemian vibe. Farther down on the left, look for 32. Puyricard (24, rue du Cherche Midi) for scrumptious chocolates from Provence. At the end of the street, take a right and you ll see 33. Kamille (1, Place Alphonse Déville), a boutique that carries avant-garde fashion. As you approach boulevard Raspail, you ll see the 34. Lutetia* (45, boulevard Raspail), a famous hotel and one of our partners. This is a great place to return to for a glass of champagne and oysters. Notice the plaque on the side of the building before you reach the corner, explaining that the Lutetia was used by the Nazis during the occupation. While that s not a charming claim to fame, the Lutetia is still a wonderful place to stay. Here you can turn left if you are ready to tackle 35. le Bon Marché (24, rue de Sèvres), or you can save the department store for a rainy day. It s just past the park on your right. There are two huge buildings; be sure not to miss 36. la Grande Epicerie (38, rue de Sèvres), located in the second, where you can buy all the fixings for the ultimate picnic Inspire Partners, LLC and Girls Guide to Paris. All Rights Reserved 36

37 6th Arrondissement Walking Tour If you take a right on rue de Sèvres, next to the Lutetia you ll find 37. la Maison du Chocolat (19, rue de Sèvres). Next to that you ll find one of the newest 38. Hermès (17, rue de Sèvres) stores in Paris. Wander in even if you don t plan to buy, because the architecture is amazing. There s a terribly fancy place for ladies who lunch to have a small bite inside, but bring a well-stuffed wallet if you want to be among them. Across the street is 39. Arnys (14, rue de Sèvres), a classic French gentlemen s shop (very expensive). Continuing along, you ll see 40. IKKS (12, rue de Sèvres), a chain that carries hip and affordable clothing for men and women. Across the street is 41. Maje (15, rue de Sèvres), which carries new, trendy designs. Also on this street, visit 42. Mac Douglas* (9, rue de Sèvres) for beautiful leather goods, and 43. Gérard Darel (12, rue de Sèvres), which carries a more mature look and clothing for larger sizes. Continue on rue de Sèvres and you ll arrive back at the Centaure statue. For a chance to design your own belt, visit 44. Losco (5, rue de Sèvres), where you can pick out the type of leather and buckle you d like to use. Now cross the street and go down the next spoke of the star at the Carrefour du Croix Rouge, and turn to go down rue de Grenelle. As you circle around and pass rue du Four, you can take a detour to check out the very feminine looks at 45. Manoush (52, rue du Four) and 46. Repetto (51, rue du Four), where you ll find those ballerina flats that are all the rage. Once you reach rue de Grenelle, turn left and continue down the street, passing the shoe boutique 47. Tod s (44 46, rue du Dragon) on the right. Farther down the street is 48. COS (3, rue de Grenelle), owned by H&M, a good stop for eclectic and affordable designs. On the right side is the iconic 49. Sonia Rykiel (4 6, rue de Grenelle); the first store is for enfants (children), and the second is for women. Next door is 50. Borsalino (6, rue de Grenelle), a store with Italian hats made famous by oh-so-many gangster movies. Across the street is 51. Prada (5, rue de Grenelle). In general we don t recommend buying non-french goods that can be bought at home for less, but if you are tempted, go Italian! The very French 52. YSL (9, rue de Grenelle) can be found across from Prada, so if you have a high credit limit, do stop in. Take a right at rue des Saints-Pères and find 53. Tara Jarmon (75, rue des Saints-Pères), a good stop if you re drawn to an uptown look. Next door is 54. Sabbia Rosa (73, rue des Saints- Pères). She can outfit you in some of the most beautiful undergarments you ve ever seen, but it will cost you. Across the street is 55. Baby Buddha (68, rue des Saints-Pères), a new store that we like for bohemian-style accessories. Back on the other side of the street is 56. Ventilo (71, rue des Saints-Pères), well known for blazers for the country gentleman with a serious bank account. For a much more rock-and-roll look, cross the street again to check out 57. IRO (70, rue de Grenelle). Continue along until you hit 58. Paul and Joe (62 66, rue des Saints-Pères), one of our favorite French designers, which carries styles for kids as well as mom and dad. At No. 69 you ll notice a little black sign for 59. Y s (69, rue des Saints-Pères); if you re interested in art and fashion, check out Yohji Yamamoto s more affordable designs. Next door is 60. Barbara Bui (67, rue des Saints-Pères), whose vision is calmer yet still quite fashionable. Across the street, 61. Karry O (62, rue des Saints-Pères) offers a varied collection of beautiful jewelry. Next door is 62. Maison Fabre (60, rue des Saints-Pères), well known for its leather gloves, which it has been making since Continue along rue des Saints- Pères to boulevard Saint-Germain, passing 63. JC de Castelbajac (61, rue des Saints-Pères), known for fairly outrageous designs for the untimid, and 64. Zef (55 bis, rue des Saints-Pères), a cute stop for kids clothing Inspire Partners, LLC and Girls Guide to Paris. All Rights Reserved 37

38 6th Arrondissement Walking Tour Turn right onto the famous boulevard Saint-Germain. At the corner is 65. Sonia Rykiel (175, boulevard Saint-Germain), where you ll find shoes and bags. To the left before you turn you ll see 66. Etro (177, boulevard Saint-Germain), a designer from Milan. After the Sonia Rykiel shop, you ll see 67. Ralph Lauren (173, boulevard Saint-Germain), which houses a store as well as a café that is famous for its cheeseburger. If you are missing a taste of home, stop in. Cross the street and you ll see another 68. Gérard Darel (174, boulevard Saint-Germain) store and 69. Façonnable (174, boulevard Saint-Germain), a shop for the preppy set. Next you ll see 70. l Ecume des Pages (174, boulevard Saint-Germain), one of the most beloved bookstores in Paris. Although most of the titles are in French, you can find some travel guides in English and some wonderful postcards. Then you ll see the 71. Café de Flore (172, boulevard Saint-Germain) and, after that, the café 72. les Deux Magots (6, Place Saint-Germain-des-Prés); across the street is the 73. Brasserie Lipp (151, boulevard Saint- Germain). These are three of the most famous cafés in Paris and perhaps the world. Each was made famous by the bevy of writers and historic figures who ate and drank there, including Chagall, Camus, Sartre, de Beauvoir and, more recently, Depardieu, Harrison Ford and many others. Everyone seems to have had a drink or a coffee at one of them. We, on the contrary, don t recommend them, because the prices are extremely high and the service often rude. They tend to be classic tourist traps resting on their laurels. That said, if you must say you were there, try the Café de Flore, which is still frequented by Parisians and where the service is slightly less rude. You can end your tour here with a drink. If you still have some energy, though, turn left at les Deux Magots and head up rue Bonaparte. Across the street you ll see the 74. Eglise Saint-Germain (3, Place Saint-Germain-des-Prés). Built in 1014, it s one of the oldest churches in town. Step inside and have a look around. Back across the street is 75. Louis Vuitton (6, Place Saint-Germain-des- Prés); stop in if you must bring back a little something from the iconic brand. Continue north along rue Bonaparte and pass rue Guillaume Apollinaire to find 76. Assouline (35, rue Bonaparte), a wonderful international book publisher selling its mark only. As you continue, you ll see 77. Richart (27, rue Bonaparte), which offers fabulously designed chocolates. On the right you ll find 78. Ladurée (21, rue Bonaparte), a good stop for pastries and tea or coffee. Its world-famous macarons make a wonderful gift, but they don t store very well, so pick some up right before you travel. Before you reach Ladurée on rue Jacob, don t miss 79. Simrane (25, rue Bonaparte), where you ll find charming French linens, napkins and tablecloths. Turn right on rue Jacob. Our favorite shop here is 80. Maison Rustique (26, rue Jacob), which has a green facade and specializes in books about gardening and plants. For very rich kilims and French pottery, stop at 81. Michèle Aragon (21, rue Jacob). If you want to return home with a piece of history, visit 82. Librairie Signature (17, rue Jacob) and search for something signed by Dalí or perhaps a famous French écrivain (author). On the right side, find 83. Michel Klein (9, rue Jacob), which sells items for men, women and children and is well known for its cool glasses. At the end of the block, you ll find the two stores of 84. Pierre Frey (5, rue Jacob, and 1, rue de Fürstenberg), very well known for French fabrics. Take a right on rue de Fürstenberg and notice the charming Square Fürstenberg, one of the most sought-after places to live in Paris. If you want to stay here on a future visit, talk to our friends at Haven in Paris, who have a vacation rental on this square. Eugène Delacroix lived here in the 1800s, and the 85. Musée Eugène Delacroix (6, rue de 2013 Inspire Partners, LLC and Girls Guide to Paris. All Rights Reserved 38

39 6th Arrondissement Walking Tour Fürstenberg) is a small museum dedicated to his work. Located in his former home, it s open daily except Tuesday. Turning back toward rue Jacob, you can find fun gifts at 86. Arty Dandy (1, rue de Fürstenberg). Turn right again on rue Jacob. You ll come to a little square with a sphere-shaped fountain. Before that, on the left, you ll find 87. Jérôme Dreyfuss (1, rue Jacob), which carries some of the most sought-after bags in Paris. Across the street, the designer has another store for men. Next to Monsieur Dreyfuss s store is 88. Ollivary (1, rue Jacob), a gallery specializing in midcentury antiques and found objects. Next to the gallery is a boutique of 89. Isabel Marant, a well-loved and hip French designer, who is married to Jérôme Dreyfuss. In her late 40s, she still looks 25! A great way to end your tour is with un verre de vin, so take a left on rue de Seine and then a right to find 90. la Palette (43, rue de Seine). In the 1930s and 40s, la Palette was frequented by artists such as Picasso, Cézanne and Braque. Before you reach the resto, notice 91. Galerie Documents (53, rue de Seine), which sells fabulous old French movie posters and other graphic art. Window-shop the galleries you see along the street. If you continue on rue de Seine, you ll reach the Seine and the Institut de France as well as the beautiful Pont des Arts. *A Girls Guide Travel Club Partner: All GGTP members receive discounts at these and other locations.

43 Quick Gourmet Tour Our quick gourmet tour begins in the 6th Arrondissement at 1. Gérard Mulot, at 76, rue de Seine (corner of rue Lobineau). Mulot offers delectables from chocolates to quiche and everything in between. We love nearly everything made at Mulot. As you leave the shop, to your right you ll see 2. the Marché St. Germain, which is an updated covered market offering the basic fish, meat, cheese and fruit and vegetable stands. This is not the best one in Paris, but it is small and the quality is good. From the market, turn left and then left again at rue de Seine, walking north toward the river. Stop into 3. Pierre Marcolini, at 89, rue de Seine ( ). Pierre is actually Belgian, but don t tell anyone and you ll enjoy these chocolates every bit as much as the French ones. Continue along rue de Seine, pass boulevard St. -Germain and stop into 4. Fromagerie 31*, at 64, rue de Seine ( ). You can sit down here for an assiette de fromages (a cheese tasting) for a reasonable charge. Or you can take one of their lovely cheeses back to your hotel or apartment. Only slightly farther up the street is 5. Da Rosa, at 62, rue de Seine ( ), where you can purchase jamon ibérico (the world s best Spanish ham) as well as many other things Spanish and Italian. Be ready to pay for the Iberian ham, but it is truly better than any drug we ve ever known. You can also sit down and sample from their menu and enjoy a glass of wine. As you approach the Buci market area (on rue de Seine and along rue de Buci), you ll see 6. Paul at the corner of Buci and Seine ( ). You can often see the bakers flipping and shaping their dough in the window. Paul is good for breakfast and for takeout sandwiches. They are a chain with 300 stores in Europe alone. Also stop into 7. Aux Vrais Produits d Auvergne, at 32, rue de Buci ( ), which offers beautiful sausages and other products from the Auvergne region of France. Continue along rue de Seine, turn left on rue Jacob and you ll see a tiny shop called 8. Huilerie Artisanale J Leblanc et Fils, at 6, rue Jacob ( ), made famous to Americans by Patricia Wells. Many a gourmet treks here to pick up a bottle of their pistachio oil, but all of their oils are excellent and a bottle makes a wonderful gift for a foodie. * Sadly these locations have closed.

47 Shop Rue St. Dominique and Grenelle in the 7th This stroll can be done in just one hour or more depending on how much you stop. Begin at rue St.-Dominique where it intersects with avenue de la Bourdonnais and avenue Rapp several blocks up from the metro stop École Militaire. Go over the tour first, before you set out, and think about reserving ahead for lunch or dinner at one of the many fine restaurants we suggest. This is a wonderful afternoon tour after seeing the Eiffel Tower in the morning. Rue St. Dominique 1. Comptoirs Richard at 145 rue St. Dominique ( ) is a well stocked tea and coffee store where you can find some nice gifts such as Eiffel Tower espresso cups, colored sugars and Paris cardboard keepsake boxes (there are several other locations in Paris). 2. Grégory Renard s shop, at 120, rue St.- Dominique, is worth a stop for world-class artisanal chocolates and macarons. Rue St. Dominique has one of our favorite bistros in Paris, 3. La Fontaine de Mars at 129 rue St. Dominique ( ). This is the classic redtableclothed bistro serving a good Confit de Canard (crispy duck leg) and boasting friendly service. Out of certain windows here you can see the Eiffel Tower sparkle at night. President Obama has dined here. In general, Chef Christian Constant owns this area, boasting not 1 but 4 restaurants. We like the more relaxed 3b. Café Constant at 139 rue St. Dominique ( ) or 4. Les Cocottes at 135 rue St. Dominique (no reservations required at Les Cocottes). Across from Les Cocottes at No. 108 is 5. L Esprit du Sud-Ouest, which would be a good place to stop if you have a rugby fan in the family Famille, at 114, rue St.-Dominique ( ), is a small shop that has some nice gifts, particularly for teenage girls, and a few pieces of clothing. We like its selection of Swildens tees. 7. The pharmacy near the corner of St.- Dominique and rue Sedillot is a good place to stock up on Darphin creams or La Roche-Posay sunscreen. 8. Les Petites, at 115, rue St.- Dominique, is wonderful for colorful prints and cashmeres. Note the 9. St. Pierre du Gros Caillou church, at No. 92, which was built in the 1800s, and whose chapel was built in the 1700s. Not particularly old by Parisian standards, but a charming neighborhood church nonetheless. Not usually open to the public. You can turn down rue Cler and head south if you wish, walking a block to get to the 10. Rue Cler market street, or wait until later so you can pick up some fresh picnic ingredients or appetizers on the way home. 11. Venise Collection, at No. 109, rue St. Dominique, is a shoe store that sells a well-selected assortment of heels and flats by Sonia Rykiel, Givenchy and Chloe. 12. Jacadi, the renowned children s fashion store, is at No Truffes Folies is an épicerie and restaurant located just off rue St.-Dominique at 37, rue Malar ( ). If you are a truffle fan, this is an essential stop. 14. Bar du Central, at 99, rue St.-Dominique, is a good place stop for un verre or a coffee. 15. Gerard Darel, at No. 78, is a solid French brand with fashionable finds often available in larger sizes, which is completely abnormal in Paris. A favorite of Susan Sarandon and Meryl Streep since Inspire Partners, LLC and Girls Guide to Paris. All Rights Reserved 47

48 Shop Rue St. Dominique and Grenelle in the 7th One of our favorite stores in Paris is at 78 rue St. Dominique, 16. Comptoir des Cotonniers, for affordable chic Parisian looks. The always chic 17.

The Tome Dom bookstore, at No. 81, is good for books about Paris and travel, and for cookbooks and comics. Check out 25. BA&SH, at No. 81, for affordably chic fashion. Turn right on rue de la Comète and head toward rue de Grenelle. Rue de Grenelle At 10, rue de la Comète, you ll notice a little bonsai store that you should enter. Not only does 26.

Note the beautiful Beaux Arts and Art Nouveau architecture of some of the buildings on rue de Grenelle as you enter this street and make a right. Take your first right off rue de Grenelle and turn right back up rue Amélie to check out the handmade-leather purse store, 27. Catherine Loiret, at 21 bis, rue Amélie. These ingenious designs are right for any fashion maven ( ). As long as you are on rue Amélie, you might want to pop into No. 20, 28. Mayaro, which has some interesting items for the French home. On this same street is a new, very modern hotel, which has reasonable rates beginning at 165 euros, for your return trip to Paris: Eiffel, at 17 bis, rue Amélie ( ). Return to rue de Grenelle and turn right. Notice the 30. exquisite door handles at No. 151, from the Art Nouveau era. The corn-andlizard handles warrant a photo.

When you reach rue Cler, you might want to turn to your left and peruse this lovely 32. market street. Selections here are good for picnics or making a meal in your rented apartment. 33.
