If you love nothing more than trawling through quaint boutiques, vintage stores and markets, then Paris is the city for you. With our flights to Paris from Perth, you could be shopping up a storm in the fashion capital of the world, finding treasures at flea markets in Montmartre and uncovering hidden gems at the vintage stores of Le Marais.

One of Paris’ most iconic stores is the Shakespeare and Company Bookshop located on the city’s left bank. The original store was opened by Sylvia Beach in 1919 but closed in 1941 during the German occupation of Paris. During the time that it was open however, Shakespeare and Company was a gathering place for notable writers such as Ezra Pound and Ernest Hemingway. Hemingway even mentioned the store in his memoir. The store became so influential within the literary scene that in 1951 George Whitman opened up a tribute store to the original. The new version has since taken on iconic status, with appearances in films Before Sunset and Midnight in Paris.

If you’re keen to experience Paris’ stylish side (and you won’t have to look far), head to the Jewish district of Marais, home to a wide range of boutiques and beauty shops. For a taste of designer fashion, Le Triangle d’Or located across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower, is where you can find labels such as Chanel, Dior, Prada and Gucci.
