Hi All,

I was wondering if there has been a shopping guide published that focuses only on the MARAIS district in Paris.

I have already read Suzy Gershman's "Born to Shop: Paris" book, but it doesn't have extensive coverage on the Marais.

I am particularly interested in hip boutiques for clothing, shoes, handbags and jewelry.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT!

I've never seen one, but haven't really looked for one nor do I shop a lot. I'd suggest you look at some other books that are competitive with Gershman's to see if they have more. I know there are others.

There are some trendy clothing shops around the Etienne Marcel metro stop, which isn't exactly the Marais (I don't think it's considered part of that, as well as Place des Victoires which has several "cutting-edge fashion boutiques" (according to paris-anglo.com shopping section--eg, Kenzo, Thierry Mugler)--west of there along rue Etienne Marcel.

This web site lists a bunch of shops in the Marais by type of merchandise, which is something, although no editorial tips:

Here are some other web shopping guides which give shops and locations, they mention some some on Etienne Marcel and the Marais, that area:
