Question

Answer 1

If you're a designer then the Museum of Fashion and Textiles (Musée de la Mode et du Textile) is an absolute must. Its one of the most overlooked museums in Paris and part of the larger Museum of Decorative Arts. It is part of the Louvre complex but a seperate museum. Its addres is Palais du Louvre - 107, rue de Rivoli.

The museum has clothing and accessories from the 17th century to the present, textiles, important works by grand couturiers of the 20th century, silk, cloth, lace, braid, and embroidery. It is open from Tuesday to Friday, 11am - 6pm. Saturdays and Sundays, 10am - 6pm. English language guided tours are available.

There is a special exhibition presenting the career of the fashion designer Cristobal Balenciaga at the time you will be there.

Answer 2

well its paris so the eiffel tower should be on your list, the view from the top of the arc de triumphe is good along champs d elysses and towards the eiffel tower. Maybe a quick coffee in a corner cafe to watch the world go by! and a quick stroll alongside the Sienne in the evening with the city lights reflecting on it can't be missed !

Answer 3

Go to COLETTE ( 213 rue Saint Honoré Paris 1er)
it's THE SHOP for fashion.
