Cartier, located in the 8th arrondissement, is the place to visit if jewelry is your weakness. The gorgeous original pieces glimmering in the light will not only dazzle the eyes, but impress the spirit as well. A true collection of creative gems for anyone on a Paris, France vacation, Cartier is renowned for their timepieces.
Also located in the 8th is Van Cleef & Arpels, where incredible craftsmanship brings glittery pieces of heaven to life. From their magical Fairy-inspired works of art to their unique between-the-fingers rings, Van Cleef & Arpels offers the shopper an original work of art, where you are the canvas and gemstones are the paint.
The slightly eccentric street of Rue du Cherche-Midi provides an exciting way to lose track of the time. With its vast array of shops, you can certainly get lost wandering the myriad of specialty shops as well as the works of free-spirited artists. Francesco Biasia is where you can find fine Italian handbags, magnificently crafted and detailed, for much less than what you would expect. If you need a new pair of heels (and who doesn't, right?) to go with your fabulous new handbag, then saunter over to Charles Jourdan, where supple leather never looked so good.
