YOUR HEAVENWhile the city is studded with fabulous boutiques and stores, these 7 ultra-
popular shopping districts in Paris are gold mines for discount-hunters, designer divas, window shoppers, and fashion victims alike.
ColetteColette on Rue St. Honoré in the 1st arrondissement isn't merely a destination for fashion victims-- it's a spot where the style-conscious flock to soak in the latest arrivals in design, electronics, beauty products and books.

food and drink.
