One of the places I absolutely love and adore most in Paris (which I try to go to every time I'm there) is the Mariage Freres tea salon on the corner of rue des Grands-Augustins and rue de Savoie. It is the first and original salon du the in the Mariage Freres family and continues to feel that way, even today. Perfect for some solo time or even with loved ones. Aside from an amazing list of teas to choose from, they also make wonderful candles. My favorite and the one I've had in my room forever is 'the rouge'.... Don't forget to ask to sample a smell of some fresh tea leaves downstairs on your way out...
