Paris Antiques

Paris is a heaven for antique enthusiasts. You’ll find quite a few antique shops in one and the same street, and there are even whole neighborhoods that are real goldmines for antiques and curiosities. Close to the Louvre many antique dealers have established Le Louvre des Antiquaires in the former storage depots of the museum. More than 200 shops on different floor levels offer a large assortment of interior decoration objects, china dolls and frilly things from every historical period.
The Left Bank, especially the Saint-Germain quarter , is chockablock with small antique shops. Many more antique shops are found at the Carré Rive Gauche on quai Voltaire, on rue des Saints-Pères, rue de l’Université, rue du Bac (Metro: Rue du Bac, Saint-Germain-des-Prés).
