There are very few better shopping destinations in the world than Paris. On the Right Bank (Rive Droite), the poshest areas for shops are the 1er and 8e arrondissements. The shops are trendier and quirkier in the Marais district.
On the Left Bank (Rive Gauche) you will find the department store, Au Bon Marché. It stretches either side of Rue du Bac on the left bank, which marks the western frontier of major shopping territory on this side of the Seine. You should make time to check out the fabulous food hall, La Grande Epicerie, as well as the major fashion departments in the store.Rue Cler is the kind of street you hope to find when you are looking for a pedestrian market street with cafés, specialty food stores and some delicacies for that picnic basket.
Galeries Lafayette is one of France's most famous names and an enduring symbol of French style and sophistication. A visit to the venerable Parisian flagship store is a must for any discerning shopper on a trip to the city. It’s on the right side of the Seine River in the 9th district.

“Dining in Paris is an "adventure"! You only have to take a few steps out of your hotel and you'll probably have a choice between a small cafe, a bistro, and more formal restaurant. One of our favorites is Maceo located on the Right Bank in the 1st district at 15, rue des Petits-Champs. The food is excellent, the staff is friendly and courteous (and speaks English!), and the prices very reasonable! We always take our guests here when staying in Paris to give them a real, local "French restaurant" feeling!”
