From Eiffel Tower miniatures to fine French gifts, Paris souvenirs span the kitsch and the classic. This guide covers where to find them, from busy avenues to a historic covered passage.

Champs-Élysées
The famous avenue lines up flagship stores and souvenir shops between the Arc de Triomphe and Concorde.
Rue de Rivoli luxury Part
The long arcaded street by the Louvre mixes souvenir shops with fashion and gift stores.
Passage Jouffroy
A covered 19th-century passage full of curiosity, book and gift shops beside the Musee Grevin.
BHV Marais
A large Marais department store strong on homeware, stationery and French-made gifts.
For classic trinkets and flagships in one stroll, the Champs-Elysees works. For distinctive gifts, Passage Jouffroy and BHV are stronger.
- Compare prices; identical trinkets vary widely between shops.
- French-made gifts and stationery travel and last better than cheap trinkets.
- Non-EU visitors can claim VAT refunds on larger purchases.
