Best place to get souvenirs?

Where is the best place to get souvenirs at great prices? thanks!

If you are talking about tacky (no offense, I like them too) little Eiffel Towers, berets and T shirts there were some shops along the Rue Mouffetard on the West Bank, near the Pantheon. There are also some shops between the Anvers metro stop and the Finicular to Sacre Couer.

Try the little super markets..........great stuff. Cookies, French chocolate bars, candy, cheeze, French mustard, packaged French sauces, canned pate...........lotsa neat stuff that friends might really like. Many street markets will have little trinkets, scarves, French records...........Also some of the guys who spread out their blankets when the police aren%26#39;t looking have some good prices.............

Paris%26#39; %26#39;..Souvenir Central..%26#39; will be along the rue de Rivoli, near the Louvre

The bouquinists along the Seine are a fun place to shop for suovenirs... you can find antique menus and other fun stuff among the more traditional gifts... Last year my daughter brought back bookmarks for all of her friends, each one was hand watercolored with three or four scenes of Paris.

I like a couple of the shops on the north side of Notre Dame.



Also Monoprix... some nice shops underneath the Louvre, but more expensive.

I liked the souvenirs at Galeries Lafayette. I got a cute little Eiffel Tower and a key chain.

As well, across the street from Galeries Lafayette, I bought a white t-shirt (with embroidered %26quot;Paris%26quot; logo) and black beret at a stand on a street corner.





Sincerely,





Diana
