Best Places to Shop in Paris

Home to some of the most notable couture gods, Paris is a dream come true for every shopaholic. There's treasure to be found in the luxury store brands and the flea markets if you're willing to look through piles and piles of vintage designer handbags. You may just bag a Birkin for 10 Euros if you're lucky. But be warned, nothing in Paris comes cheap. 

Here are some of Kosher Riverboat Cruises top picks for the best shopping districts in Paris:

Avenue Montaigne and the Champs-Elysées

This avenue is for luxury-loving shoppers. You'll see the most expensive and get a look at the rarest finds in the world. Swarovski crystal encrusted YSL clutch? Sign yourself up! Legendary designers like Chanel and Dior are standard destinations for shoppers there.

Socialites gather to take a look at the newest releases and bid for the items fresh off the runway from Paris fashion week, which happens to be the most glamorous couture event in the world.

Rue du Commerce

After trying on all the couture you could get your hands on, move your shopping journey to Rue du Commerce which is popular for its makeup and skin care.

French girls are known to have the best looking, most radiant skin—may as well give this fountain of youth a crack. Their secret? Ampoules. These tiny, anti-oxidant rich skin essences are known to stop the aging process in your skin by loading it with a ton of nutrients. You might want to take some home with you.

Saint-Ouen Flea Market

Luxury brands aren't really your scene? Check out Saint-Ouen Flea Market. You can find anything from antique decor to vintage fashion pieces in Paris' oldest and longest-running flea market.
You can put anything you want in your cart without checking the price. What would cost you hundreds of Euros in the designer avenues you could get for less than ten at Saint-Ouen.

Avenue des Ternes

This is the hidden gem of Paris. Here you will find books, old movie posters, records, and films—an art lover’s paradise, they say. Don't think twice about going to Avenue des Ternes. You get equally as interesting finds and less than half the amount of people at Saint-Ouen Flea Market.
