Find one of a kind treasures that you'll never find back in the states. Along the border of the Sablon are some wonderful restaurants, chocolatiers, funky galleries. Go! You won't be sorry.

There are plenty of shops with antiques and artistic home decorations, but on top of that they had an antique fair on the street with interesting things and valuables. Worth a walk by.
