The Best Places to do Christmas Shopping in Paris
With Christmas only a few days away, what better time to start thinking about ticking those last-minute presents off your list?
Paris is home to hundreds of luxury department stores, exclusive boutiques and Christmas markets and we have put together a list of the most decadent places to buy presents this year.
Luxury Fragrance Gifts
Our Parisian escorts like to smell delicious for you so a fragrance themed gift will always be well received. Paris has some of the most exquisite perfumeries like La Maison Candora. Here you can create your own signature scent as well as candle shops that stock luxurious gifts. Diptyque is the one-stop-shop for fragranced gifts such as diffusers and candles. Be sure to pick up a limited edition festive design for extra points.
Decadent Chocolate Gifts
If your elite escort is partial to a sweet treat, why not visit one of the city’s most luxurious chocolate shops? Paris is where you will find some of the most adored artisan chocolatiers and Maison Chaudun should be your first port of call. Here you can find chocolate shaped houses, handbags and even vintage heels as well as delicious truffles. Patrick Roger and his futuristic shop design is a true sight to behold on Boulevard Saint-Germain. This chocolate artist creates mini Christmas trees crafted from the most delicious French chocolate.
Designer Lingerie Gifts
If your escort model likes to tempt you wearing the finest lingerie, perhaps you are shopping for something naughty and nice. Of course, some of the most tantalising lingerie brands have stores in Paris. Our favourites are Aubade, a small boutique at 22 rue du Vieux Colombier where you can shop for seductive high-end designs. Sabbia Rosa is where the rich and famous buy their lingerie and it’s located in St-Germain-des-Prés. Lastly, there’s world-famous hosiery at Wolford and all things young and fun at Princess Tam Tam.
Hidden Gems
We all know the bustling department stores are filled with Christmas gifts but where do you find those rare special presents? Well, you can go to Librairie Yvon Lambert for rare books and art, Cherished Objects for one of a kind accessories and don’t forget the little market stalls that sell artisan French goods.
Self Gifting
Of course, you may wish to pick up a little something for yourself this year. Head to Charvet for the most impeccably made silk ties and shirts. Located on 28 Place Vendôme, this is one of the oldest and shirt makers in the city. Rue Saint Honoré is the location where you will find all of your favourite designer brands from Dior, Hermes and Chanel.
