If you need a little pick-me-up whilst you're shopping & happen to be in the 1st arrondissement, you're in luck. Cafe Kitsune has delicious coffee & good vibes. 

While the racks are filled with everything from Hermes, Chanel, to Yves Saint Laurent, this vintage shop is everything but fussy. With a cool and vibrant interior and an owner who knows what she is talking about, this is one of our go-tos for preloved items. 

We love sending our friends to Takara, Paris's oldest Japanese restaurant since 1958. Beyond its tranquil façade lies a rustic village ambience, complete with traditional attire, ukiyo-e decor, and the shy yet talented Chef Yukio Yamakoshi behind the sushi counter.
