Authentic street shopping in Paris with beautiful historic homes

Shopping for that perfect souvenir to take back home couldn’t be made easier than it is at Rue Montorgueil. This quaint little street’s name means Mount Pride because it sits atop a hilly area and is home to many historic houses that feature elaborate ironwork and fancy painted facades.

The Rue Montorgueil area is located in the heart of Paris and is an open-air street market where people can buy just about anything imaginable. Popular pastry shops like La Mason Stohrer, boutiques, bistros, produce, and meat and fish markets can be found here. For those who work up an appetite from all their shopping, there are plentiful cafes and bars to please just about anyone.
