Shopping in the many streets of the city centre. You’ll find all the big names in rues Paradis, Grignan, Montgrand and Sainte, which are semi-pedestrian streets, ideal for a gentle stroll. If you’re looking for a younger atmosphere, try rue Saint-Ferréol, where you’ll find all the “trendy” boutiques as well as Galeries Lafayette, which was given a new look in 2005, a mix of design and minimalism. And for antiquities, let’s go to the street Edmond Rostand ! |
