Description

Frequently Asked Questions
How many shops are included?
30+ curated boutiques across fashion, jewelry, beauty, and design. Each one has been personally tested and includes addresses, hours, and recommendations on what to buy.
Is this just a list of addresses?
No. This is a curated guide with context, philosophy, personal favorites, and strategic planning advice. You’ll understand why each shop matters and what makes it special—not just where it is.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. The PDF is optimized for both phone and desktop. The interactive Google Map opens directly in your phone’s browser for easy navigation while walking.
What if shops close or change hours?
You get lifetime access to updates. When I discover new favorites or information changes, I update the guide and you’ll be notified to download the latest version.
Is this guide current?
Yes. Updated February 2025 with current addresses, hours, and recommendations.
I’m not visiting Paris soon—should I still buy this?
If you’re planning a trip in the next year, yes. The guide will be there when you need it, and you’ll receive any updates I make between now and your trip.
What if I’ve already been to Saint-Germain?
Even long-time visitors discover new favorites in this guide. I’ve included lesser-known ateliers and boutiques that don’t show up in typical Paris guides.
Can I share this with a friend?
This is a single-user license. If you’re traveling together, one guide is fine. If your friend wants their own copy for a separate trip, they’ll need to purchase separately.
Do you offer refunds?
Due to the digital nature of this product, all sales are final. However, if you have issues with the download or the guide doesn’t match the description, contact me at [email protected] and I’ll make it right.
Do you offer a complete Paris shopping guide?
Not yet, but I’m building a collection of neighborhood guides. Start with Saint-Germain, and I’ll notify you when Le Marais and other areas launch. Eventually these will be available as a discounted bundle.
Will there be guides for other neighborhoods?
Yes! I’m working on Le Marais and the 1st arrondissement. Join my email list to be notified when they launch.

Pamela’s guide is like having your best French girlfriend guide you through this magical neighborhood. The colorful photos alone (and informative descriptions) are enough to lure you to each shop, cafe/restaurant or outdoor space. The interactive map is a big bonus. So beautifully done – she has a great eye for detail and ear for language – it’s a superb addition to your visit to Saint Germain!
