This street is one of the few walking zones close to la Place de la République, and shop after shop on this walkway features beauty and skincare products galore. Let's be clear: this street is only about a quarter of a mile long, probably not even. And in total, there are eleven shops advertising almost exclusively beauty-related products, with the exception of les Galeries Lafayette, a department with a large selection of beauty, skincare and fragrance, but also many other items.
So let's take a walk from the main square out to the next street. This is really only about two blocks and you pass all of these stores.
- Marrionnaud Parfumerie
- Kiko
- Parashop Diffusion
- La Grande Pharmacie des Minimes
- Yves Rocher
- Les Galleries Lafayette
- Sephora
- Sandro Esprit Spa
- Nocibé
- Douglas Parfumerie
- Saga
What does this exactly have to say about my town? To be honest, I don't really know yet, as I have only been here for a short while and it takes time to get to know new people in a foreign country. Whether these stores have taken such prominent spots as a response to popular demand or whether these shops have influenced the tastes of the public, I can't really tell. Most likely, its a little bit of both. Just an interesting reflection from a beauty perspective on what I am experiencing in this new town!
