Advertise with NZME.Les Puces (also known as the Paris Flea Market) is one of my favourite places in Paris. It’s filled with original designer furniture. Although it’s torture that you can’t bring it all home with you, it’s the best to place to source inspiration for your home.
Les Puces, 99 Allée des Rosiers, 93400 Saint-Ouen, Paris.
We had to make a stop at our favorite French designer Lemaire. The store is beautiful and unfussy, quietly tucked away in Le Marais.
Lemaire, 28 Rue de Poitou, 75003 Paris.

Best Dinner Spot: Liza
We discovered Liza through a Lebanese friend in Paris. We recommend getting the set menu; it’s the best selection of dips, breads and meats. Make sure you make a booking! It’s always packed.
