Mode - Fashion

Paris is also the city of fashion, especially represented by the large homes of the Haute Couture. Whoever wants to get a glimpse of the windows of the exquisite fashion homes, will find most of them in the 8th district, north of Champs-Elysées. During the past few decades, young tailors en trendy boutiques have settled mostly in the Marais quarter and the district around the Bastille.
