VERRE GLASS

I thought I had found Santa when I came across Claudius Breig as he was hanging vintage glass ornaments in the window. Claudius specializes in vintage glass, and his shop is a mix of anything "verre" imaginable - candy dishes that your grandmother used to set out on a doily, vases, bowls, lights, and so much more. Mr. Breig's shop is open "in the afternoon" from Tuesday to Saturday and only accepts cash. You won't find Verreglass online - this is the epitome of a treasure in Paris.

Department stores for food & gift giving

BON MARCHÉ
This dog-friendly department store goes all out on the Christmas decor, stunning windows, pop-up shops, a Christmas decor section, and so much more.
GALERIES LAFAYETTE
Aside from the famous two-story Christmas tree and light show, GL also offers incredible window decorations and on-site activities not to be missed.
BHV
My love for this Marais department store knows no bounds. Dog-friendly, less expensive than the above listed, and easy to navigate, you'll find me and the girls here often on a rainy Sunday.
GRANDE EPICERIE
Part of the Bon Marché and located directly across the street, this multi-story food store showcases the best products France has to offer.
LAFAYETTE FOOD COURT
Similar to the Grand Epicerie, the GL food court has a wide variety of eateries and groceries. You'll also find Christmas decor on the upper floors.
EATALY
Part of the BHV complex, Eataly is an Italian grocery complex. From the huge wine selection in the basement, to the on-site eateries, to the fantastic array of Italian food imports, it's not to be missed!
