What to do and see in 4th Arr. - Hôtel-de-Ville, Ile-de-France: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops
Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

The chocolate is so good, and Edwin gave us a wonderful tasting when we visited the store. We absolutely love the Taj Mahal and came back three more times during our stay in Paris to get more of those.

I had the pleasure of having a personalised and guided tour of the shop by Lucille which was absolutely eye opening. She was so friendly and probably one of the best sales assistants I’ve ever stumbled upon. The products which are locally sourced and naturally derived are also refreshing and the concept of creating ones own bath & shower item paired with a fragrance of your choosing is a genius idea. I will forever keep on coming back to this shop every time I’m in Paris. It’s not just a shop but also offers an amazing customer experience which makes it worth dropping by.

Also, if you are in Paris you should go to Bijoux Blues on Rue Saint Paul to see her work in person, as I did years ago. I found the displayed jewelry to be amazing to look, as well as having had a very nice discussion with Tatiana on how each item was created and individually handmade.

Miel Factory is in the Marais area of Paris, and in this shop you can find so many different types of honey and honey-related products! The shop staff are very friendly and helpful, and they explain the properties of the different honey types, and let you also try the honey varieties so you can choose the one(s) you like best. I bought two different honeys: blueberry and almond: both are very, very good, I should have bought a bigger jar of each!

This is better than your regular souvenir shop. Everything is made in France, the postcards are gorgeous, and they have other things that will beat your made in China souvenirs. The proprietor speaks good English and excellent German, and she’s extremely nice! Just go there!
