Paris is the capital of unique shops and boutiques decorated in a variety of ways and sometimes selling unusual things. On my tour, you will get acquainted with the living historical Paris, examine the contents of the antique counters and admire the authentic signs. I will tell you about the history of these goods, about the habits and customs of Parisians and we will travel back in time to the French capital of the XVIII-XIX centuries.

The everyday life of Paris

My tour is not just a shopping escort through inconspicuous shops: you will see Paris in all its splendor, understand how and how Parisians lived in the past centuries. You will find out where it is better to buy real copper dishes, where Balzac bought smoking pipes and in which tobacco shop Marat, Robespierre and Napoleon were regulars. Take a look at the very first pharmacy in Paris and visit the place where they sell antique music boxes that seem to rise from the ashes thanks to the skillful hands of a restorer.

We will run into the pastry shop, opened by the chef of Louis XV himself, and treat ourselves to the very cake that gave him unprecedented fame and honor. In one of the first candy shops in the capital, you can buy sweets as a souvenir, which have been so pleasing to both children and adults since 1760. And those who want to decorate their interior royally, I invite you to the store with incredible candles created during the reign of Louis XIV - they are very popular with the French, because they are made according to an ancient recipe!
