From furniture to clothes via art |
Place de la Bastille Paris +33 1 4742 9056 |
The Bastille area finds its source on Place de la Bastille. It is an informal area of the 11th arrondissement; the triangle formed by Rue du Faubourg-St-Antoine, Boulevard Beaumarchais and Boulevard Voltaire marks it out. The Bastille area used to be the centre of Paris' fine furniture industry, and home to many skilled artisans and cabinet-makers. Indeed, its Rue du Faubourg-St-Antoine remains one of the best places in Paris to buy furniture and other articles for the home. But the Bastille hasn't rested on its laurels; once again it's the fashionable place to visit. It has modern restaurants, clothes and shoe shops popping up everywhere and, notably, an enormous Gap store right next to the shop of legendary French designer, Jean-Paul Gaultier. Rue Charonne is also worth a visit for its increasing number of designers and art galleries. Whether you want to shop for shoes, furniture or art, the Bastille area, formerly the centre of Paris' fine furniture industry, has a lot to offer. Review © 2009, Wcities |
