The Miller et Bertaux shop in Paris is in the Jewish quarter of the Marais district, in a delightful area of small alleys and exquisite boutiques; you’ll simply melt with desire for the clothes and handbags in all the windows.

The shop is small, mainly selling clothes and lovely objets but with a substantial display set aside for the scents. As in most Paris perfume shops, sales staff know a lot about the fragrances and are happy to help.

Getting there: Miller et Bertaux, 17 rue Ferdinand Duval, 75004 Paris. Tel: +33 (0) 1 42 78 28 39.

Nearest Metro station: St. Paul (le Marais) on line 1.

Nearby: Further down the rue Ferdinand Duval is The Different Company’s boutique.

You’re a short walk here from the River Seine; walk south and you’ll come out opposite Īle St. Louis and be able to see Notre Dame on the Īle de la Cité.

You’re also close to a small Annick Goutal boutique on rue des Rosiers, and to the Esteban shop.
