Product Description French craftsmanship is unparalleled in the world. Baccarat crystal. Limoges porcelain. The historic patterns of Toile de Jouy. Scented gloves and custom-made umbrellas in Paris.

Organized by region, with one chapter devoted solely to Paris, Made in France takes the reader on a complete tour of the dazzling artisanal legacy of France, uncovering one-of-a-kind hidden workshops and off-the-beaten-path destinations, like the exquisite lingerie boutique, Cadolle, in Paris (the owner of which descends from Herminie Cadolle, the woman who invented the brassiere), or Lyon, France’s best-kept secret.Made in France includes advice on how, what, and where to buy, featuring a special primer on French shopping, hints on recognizing quality and authenticity, and a calendar of craft festivals throughout the year.

Great Shopping Ideas for FranceJuly 9, 2008 D. Paulson(North Dakota, USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
My sister and I recently traveled to France and purchased this book. It was great to use and gave us some wonderful ideas on what to see, where to shop and where to find the true artisanal items for each region we visited. We will keep it for future trips to new areas. We recommend it.
