This famous street in Paris is the perfect place to \u2018people watch\u2019 while you enjoy a drink in a caf\u00e9. You can see the historical buildings and architectural styles which line the street on either side, and it’s a paradise for shoppers. Buy a baguette<\/i> (French bread) from a boulangerie<\/i> (baker) and a cake from a p\u00e2tisserie<\/i> (cake shop), wander around un grand magasin<\/i> (a department store) and get some souvenirs in un magasin de souvenirs<\/i> (a souvenir shop).<\/p>\n
