Many of Paris’s writers and academics were first published by Shakespeare & Co., the second iteration of which still stands today. Here, you'll find everything you could possibly wish for in a shopping trip, from curated racks of designer clothing to stylish homeware, an entire floor dedicated to make-up and skincare, plus a kids section and the Grande Epicerie (perfect for foodie finds that look almost too good to eat). Even if you're very well behaved and aren't tempted to fill your basket with new buys, Le Bon Marché is worth a visit for the decor alone, from the dreamy fairy light-laden escalators to the Christmas window displays in winter.
