Fodor's Review:

Maison de Baccarat was once the home of Marie-Laure de Noailles, known as the Countess of Bizarre. Now it's a museum and crystal store. Philippe Starck revamped the space with his signature cleverness -- yes, that's a chandelier floating in an aquarium and, yes, that crystal arm sprouting from the wall alludes to Jean Cocteau (a friend of Noailles). Follow the red carpet to the jewelry room, where crystal baubles hang from bronze figurines, and to the immense table stacked with crystal items for the home.
