While Taschen’s Left Bank store is sleek and ordered, with books uniformly displayed, Assouline has a thrown together, boudoir atmosphere, with scented candles and stationery. [...]

Ladurée is a real institution in Paris and every Christmas, thousands of Parisians treat themselves to some seasonal macaroons, pastries or finely iced cakes.  The queue at the Rue Royale store almost curves around the Place de la Madeleine, it really is that popular.
