13 of the best and most beautiful shops in Paris

Chocolatier, fromagerie, parfumerie … Parisian shops sound as gorgeous as they look. We choose stores with a history of exquisite craftsmanship

There are multiple locations of much-loved chocolatier À la Mère de Famille around the city, but head to the 9th arrondissement for the original shop with its historic facade, tile floor and wooden cashier booth. Founded in 1761 and family-owned to this day, À la Mère de Famille is the oldest chocolaterie in the capital, and more recently acquired Stohrer, the city’s oldest patisserie. All the chocolates, caramels and jellies are made in France, and anything they don’t create in their own kitchens is made by small, independent artisans. Don’t miss the window displays around the holidays.
