Galerie Véro-Dodat was built in 1826. At what is now the Café de l'Epoque, the French writer Gérard de Nerval took his last drink before heading to Châtelet to hang himself. The gallery has painted ceilings and copper pillars and shops selling old-fashioned toys, contemporary art, and leather goods. It's best known, though, for its antiques stores.
