RTHQ

Deyrolle is a must. Claude Nature a few doors down from Diptique is good too. If you like great furniture head to the flea markets at Port De Clignacourt on the weekend. Ralph Lauren has his car collection etc on display at the Decorative Arts museum (with tie in clothing and pieces at both Colette and the RL store). The Ralph Lauren and Hermes stores in the 6th are incredible spaces worth checking even if you aren;t into the clothing. Lots of interesting small shops in the Marais area including French Trotters (www.frenchtrotters.fr) for clothing on the Inventory Magazine tip. If you haven't been to Paris before the bateaubus is a lovely scenic way of getting around (several day tickets are a good deal). Head to Mulot near St Sulpice/St Germain market for great snacks. Laduree for macaroons or save some money and get the pick and mix at the chocolate store next to the Odeon cafe on Bvd St Germain.

I'm only guessing but the photograph might be by Nick Egan. Time will tell..
