Top 10 Items to Bring Back from Paris and Video Guide

There is plenty to enjoy in Paris, and time will never allow you to visit everywhere! Save time on those essential presents to bring back for relatives, partners and friends. Here are some time saving ideas from girlsguidetoparis.com

1. Candles and tea from Mariage Frères

2. Gifts from the gift shop at Hôtel de Crillon marked with the hotel’s logo

3. Macaroons from Pierre Hermé (these won’t last long) or Ladurée

4. Chocolates from Patrick Roger

5. French herbs and spices from Goumanyat. Also, the nearby G. Detou offers teas, chocolates, nuts and sardines—a veritable wonderland of foodie gifts.

6. Berets in all different colors and crystal Eiffel Towers for the kids. These can be found everywhere, but there are a number of shops that run along the street beside Notre Dame.

7. Goodies from the Rodin Museum gift shop—they have a small faux Rodin sculpture of the artist’s hands, which is a piece that we adore.

8. Pistachio oil from Huilerie Artisanale J Leblanc et Fils

9. Vintage Chanel/Hermès from the Marché aux Puces, Didier Ludot or Les Trois Marchés de Catherine B

10. Foie gras (make sure it’s not refrigerated). Comtesse de Barry is a good brand, as is Pierre Champion.
