Edible Souvenir
This pick earns its place because La Mère de Famille turns the Paris souvenir into something edible and elegant. It has the atmosphere of an old-world shop, but the real reason to go is practical: you can leave with gifts that still taste like the city after the trip ends.
Before you go
Buy a small box for the hotel room and another one to bring home.
The Montmartre flagship is the most atmospheric stop if you only visit one location.
