The team at Chic Shopping Paris hold a special place in their hearts for things that are Made in France- they are just that much more special to take home with you! One of our super guides has found an amazing handbag line- Sabatier. What's so special? Besides being Made in France and in a super luxe quality leather since 1947, you can customize your bag by switching up the front panel. That's right- the bag in the photo above is the same bag with a different front! So cool, so chic. Available at <a href="http://www.sabatier-1947.com/fr/points-de-vente" target="_blank">8 different boutiques in Paris</a> and <a href="http://www.sabatier-1947.com/" target="_blank">online</a>.

Many people who live in Paris frequent <a href="https://www.monoprix.fr/" target="_blank">Monoprix</a> for their daily essentials, i.e., cheese and wine, among other groceries! But what visitors to Paris may not realize is that Monoprix stocks a great range of clothing, accessories, baby and kids stuff: I call it my mini French Target. Here are some great items to scoop up this spring.</div>

How cute is this new line from <a href="http://magazine.lebonmarche.com/5587_collection-le-bon-marche-rive-gauche.html" target="_blank">Le Bon Marche</a>? Inspired by architectural elements of the famous department store, along with designs from the archives, the collection has a big range of items that make great souvenirs. I, for one, will definitely be snapping up some items for my gift closet!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://twinsforpeace.com/" target="_blank">Twins for Peace</a> was started by two friends in 2009, with an idea similar to Tom's in the US: Buy a pair, give a pair. Sounds like a win-win to us! We get an amazingly cool pair of sneaks [love the ones above!] and get to help out a kid in need. And as sneakers are all the rage right now, you can be fashionable chic and comfy too.</span><br />

It makes sense, in a funny way, that the icon of many a childhood should strut her stuff in the fashion capitol of the world. What are we talking about? Barbie on display at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs, <i>bien sur</i>. Over 700 dolls are on display, alongside Barbie-inspired art, gowns, and more, with a narritive focused on "Barbie's lives." A must-see for fans of pop-culture and the beloved B-doll.<br />

I had a lovely birthday dinner at <a href="http://www.ellsworthparis.com/" target="_blank">Ellsworth</a> with some friends [and my mom!] a few weeks ago, and although I was having too much fun to take pictures and/or notes of the food, I thought I'd still share my experience.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The details: Ellsworth is a new spot from the cool American couple behind <a href="http://verjusparis.com/" target="_blank">Verjus</a> and Verjus wine bar. [More yummy restaurants to try!] It is a tiny, intimate but fun little place in the 1st, with an amazing sharing menu. [Although, I will admit, my plates were so yummy I actually did not share!] I had the sprout salad- and I kid you not, my mouth is salivating at the thought it. The dressing was so great that I could have eaten 3 salads. And the famous buttermilk chicken? It is <i>all</i> that. And more. All washed down by some lovely bottles of wine, and followed by apple fritters. Definitely worth a visit. [And you can reserve online, and English!]</div>

Over the years, we've had quite a number of teens come on shopping tours. Some come with very small budgets and big dreams, some come with even bigger dreams of fancy dresses [prom, bat mitzvah, etc], some just hope to see a bit of Parisian style....and I can confidently say that we've left them all as satisfied customers! Teens who come on a special shopping trip to Paris can be considered a privileged group, to be sure, but we aim to keep our clients of all ages feeling like they've left with a bit of Paris in their bags! There is nothing more exciting than seeing one find <i>the</i> perfect dress- like the young lady above! If you are coming to Paris with a teen, check out our <br /><a href="http://chicshoppingparis.com/the-tours/tres-teen-tour/" target="_blank">Tres Teen</a> tour- it will save you hours of agony trying to figure out where the "cool" shops are for you and your teen.</div>

Wendy spotted this cuteness when out and about the other day....a color your own dress for girls! You color it, wear it, and then you wash it and start again! The brand, <a href="http://www.charabiaboutique.com/16-vetement-a-colorier" target="_blank">Charabia</a>, also offers t-shirts with the same concept, great for the little <i>artistes</i> in your life.<br /></div>

As many of you know, most of the big names in luxury goods make now make their goods outside of France- sometimes in nearby Italy, but many times in factories in Asia. I don't know about you, but that certainly takes some of the cachet out of buying a French bag. I'd like one that is actually made with quality materials, in France. Never mind the logo- don't need it, or would prefer it discreet, <i>s'il vous plait. </i><br />

As the sun starts to warm up our days in Paris, we start thinking of vacation destinations....and apparently the creative team at <a href="http://courses.monoprix.fr/RIDG/Enfant-3-14-ans--6628454;jsessionid=A368087A7E91495BD9E042A8BCC86A4B.38070FAB280D09862F1817A929014BEF28" target="_blank">Monoprix</a> is thinking the same thing. This cute destination-inspired line of clothing for babies and kids is a fun way to transition into spring. (It's making me feel the need to pull out my Breton stripes again!) Prices range from 7.99- 19.99, so the pieces make chic (and cheap!) souvenirs. At Monoprix shops and online.</div>

I'll admit that I'm a sucker for packaging- a great looking gift or an eye catching product always wins me over! Just spotted these uber-colorful Pucci designed <a href="https://www.laduree.com/en_fr/" target="_blank">Laduree</a> macaron boxes...not only do you get some delectable treats (with seasonal flavors like banana chocolate, yuzu ginger and pineapple!), but you get to keep these sweet and funky box.

French designer Guillaume Bardet and perfumer Celine Ellena were taped by <a href="http://www.hermes.com/" target="_blank">Hermes</a> to design their new luxury candle collection, Le Perfum de la Maison. The result? These stunning candle bowls, that can be tipped on their sides, along with a paper horse and a scented stone. The scents are created around five story lines: <i>Des pas sur la neige, Temps de pluie, Fenetre ouverte, Champ libre</i>, and <i>A Cheval.

If you have kids or you like off-the-beaten-path cultural experiences, this is the place for you. Stepping into the <a href="http://www.arts-forains.com/index.php" target="_blank">Musee des Fetes Forains</a> makes you feel like you are in another world, another land, another era-- there is really nothing like it. A vast collection of carnival rides and memorabilia that lives in the former wine storage warehouses in Bercy [Eastern Paris], the collection/ space is usually only open for private parties and special affairs. I have been on several occasions and have been swept up by the <i>magique</i> of the place each and every time. The museum will be open for 10 days at the end of the year [<a href="http://www.arts-forains.com/index.php?pages=fdm_va" target="_blank">December 26th to January 4th</a>], so if you are in Paris at the time, put it on your must-do list!

We've been watching this quirky French brand take off for some time now....and I thought now was a great time to introduce <a href="http://www.leslipfrancais.fr/en/" target="_blank">Le Slip Francais</a>. "Slip" is French for boxer and these cheeky numbers are Made in France, with the French flag colors front and center. A fun gift for the <i>homme</i> who has everything, <i>n'est-ce pas</i>? The brand also offers boy shorts for girls, alongside a few accessories [espadrilles!] Now available at their first boutique in the Marais.<br />

The <b><i>Bobo Bastille Tour</i></b> 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. <a href="http://chicshoppingparis.com/contact.php" target="_blank">Contact us</a> to book your tour.</div>

<b><i>Trendy
10th Tour </i></b>takes place in the trendy and cool 10th <i>arrondissement</i> 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 <i>quartiers</i>
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 <i>bijoux.</i> And if you want to have
a <i>pique-nique</i> along the picturesque
canal, we’ll even tell you how to get pizza delivered to a park bench. <a href="http://chicshoppingparis.com/contact.php" target="_blank">Contact us</a> for more info or to book your tour!</span></div>

The <b><i>Paris Out of Bounds Tour </i></b><span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-highlight: white;">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 (<i>depot-ventes</i>), antiques (<i>brocantes</i>),
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! <a href="http://chicshoppingparis.com/contact.php" target="_blank">Contact us</a> for more details. </span></div>

Closed since 2009 for renovations, the <a href="http://www.museepicassoparis.fr/en/" target="_blank">Musee Picasso</a> is finally set to open its doors again on October 23, 2014. Set in the heart of the Marais neighborhood, this is a great museum to check off after you have done all the "big ones" [Louvre, Grand Palais, etc] on your list. The museum is home to over 5,000 of Picasso's works, donated by his family after his death in 1973. Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
