Comptoir 18-20

Down a passage off busy rue des Archives in the Marais, this loft-like store includes an art gallery, a bookstore, a café, and a curated selection of menswear, accessories, and gadgets. They are the only store in Paris to carry Shinola Detroit watches, which even at €500 are an edgier, more affordable alternative to a classic Rolex or Cartier. Even Obama has one! Even though most of the clothes and accessories are aimed at men, women can rock them, too—especially in Paris, where the style is to wear oversize sweaters and chunky jewelry. I love my Shinola watch!
