New Tour: Bobo Bastille Tour




The Bobo Bastille Tour explores the true Parisian’s Paris in the less-touristy eastern part of the city. This historic furniture-making quarter has been taken over by hipsters of all types in the past decade or so, and the ateliers have now been turned into showrooms and boutiques.  Explore the charming shops in an authentic French neighborhood, from made-in-France shoes and bags to locally made jewelry, funky clothing and some great kids’ stuff. We’ll show you our favorite haunts, and point out some great restaurants and wine bars for you to explore after your tour.  Contact us to book your tour.

New Tour: Trendy Tenth Tour







The Trendy 10th Tour takes place in the trendy and cool 10th arrondissement of Paris, in the tree-lined area around the Canal Saint-Martin. Filled with shabby-chic bars and funky shops, this area of Paris is on the rise—far away from the touristy, high-rent quartiers of Paris. We’ll take you to one of the best bakeries in Paris, a sleek concept store with European treasures, along with a bit of vintage and some locally made bijoux. And if you want to have a pique-nique along the picturesque canal, we’ll even tell you how to get pizza delivered to a park bench.  Contact us for more info or to book your tour!

New Tour: Paris Out of Bounds

Just in time for your holiday shopping, Chic Shopping Paris offers up three great new tours!  We'll be rolling them out, one after another this week.  Check the blog and Facebook page for details!




The Paris Out of Bounds Tour is designed to introduce you to the charming boutiques that are within view of the spectacular castle where Louis XIV was born, in the village of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, just outside Paris. You’ll find top French brands, one-of-a-kind shops, used treasures (depot-ventes), antiques (brocantes), and a vibrant open market (note: market is only on Tuesdays and Fridays). Strolling through the chateau’s forest while taking in the Paris skyline is optional. Experiencing this city’s charm is like taking a vacation within a vacation!   Contact us for more details.

Paris Peepers

Over the years, we've had clients looking for that certain je ne sais quoi with regards to....glasses!  After all, they are one of the accessories you might find yourself wearing daily.  
We've listed several of our faves, all Made in France!   

Our very own guide Wendy just picked up these great sunglass readers by See Concept at Colette.



French brand Lafont has been making glasses forever...and I'm a bit partial, as we are family friends.   Lafont offers a huge range, from modern and funky to the re-editions [shown here] of some of their classic styles.




Last but not least are the creme de la creme of glasses, the made to measure versions from Maison Bonnet.  Find exactly the right pair for your face, and be assured that no one else will have the same.
