Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

The chocolate is so good, and Edwin gave us a wonderful tasting when we visited the store. We absolutely love the Taj Mahal and came back three more times during our stay in Paris to get more of those.

I had the pleasure of having a personalised and guided tour of the shop by Lucille which was absolutely eye opening. She was so friendly and probably one of the best sales assistants I’ve ever stumbled upon. The products which are locally sourced and naturally derived are also refreshing and the concept of creating ones own bath & shower item paired with a fragrance of your choosing is a genius idea. I will forever keep on coming back to this shop every time I’m in Paris. It’s not just a shop but also offers an amazing customer experience which makes it worth dropping by.

Bijoux Blues Review I purchased a brooch for my wife’s birthday (Which she loved) and would highly recommend Bijoux Blues for the following reasons. 1) The brooch was beautiful and exactly what I thought it would be. 2) Tatiana's jewelry is creative, beautiful and of excellent quality. 3) The website was easy to use and gave a very clear and accurate pictures of all items. 4) The service and information provided by Tatiana (owner and artist) was excellent. 5) This purchase was done over the internet between Paris and California and all email request for information or help where handle promptly and professionally. 6) Tatiana, gave me several options for shipping, which helped me in making a quick and easy decision on the purchase. 7) The brooch arrived in the expected time frame and in perfect condition. Also, if you are in Paris you should go to Bijoux Blues on Rue Saint Paul to see her work in person, as I did years ago. I found the displayed jewelry to be amazing to look, as well as having had a very nice discussion with Tatiana on how each item was created and individually handmade.

I visited this store this morning to pick up an Eiffel Tower model I ordered online . When I arrived to the store the Owner/ Gentleman was very polite, and I ended up upgrading my original purchase to an even better model. I’m an American living in Paris, and decided to do some shopping for my family. My experience was excellent, and they have a wide variety of products for all ages. I highly recommend shopping at this store if you are visiting Paris or even if you live in Paris. Thank you again for the great customer service.

This was a superb experience! Jewelry making with Mona was one of my most pleasurable moments in Paris. The experience is constructed very well and it is the perfect combination of learning, doing, socializing and relaxing. Mona herself is a fantastic artist, host, teacher and just one of those enchanting people with great personality, and a great cook as well :) Her jewelry collections are just amazing and the bijoux I made with her help is a lovely souvenir from Paris I will cherish fondly :) I highly recommend it!
