St-Germain & Les Invalides


Luxury gloves and hats, for men and women, are the keystone of this chic, haute-couture boutique across the street from the Le Bon Marché department store. Best up is the bar à chapeaux (hat bar) whereby you can effectively create your own unique hat with a mix-and-match choice of flowers, ribbons, pom-poms and other tasteful (and tasteless) decorative flourishes.
