Jean Paul Gaultier

Supporters of this high-camp, high-fashion mogul describe him as an avant-garde classicist without allegiance to any of the aesthetic restrictions of the bourgeoisie. Detractors call him a glorified punk rocker with a gimmicky allegiance to futurist models as interpreted by Star Trek. Whatever your opinion, it's always refreshing and insightful, especially for fashion buffs, to check out France's most iconoclastic designer. There's a franchise branch of his store at 6 rue Vivienne, 2e (tel. 01-42-86-05-05; Métro: Bourse), but the company's main branch, and site of its biggest inventories, is at avenue George V.

40 ave. George V, 12ePhone: 01-44-43-00-44.Open: Monday and Saturday 10:30am to 7pm; Tuesday to Friday 10am to 7pm.Métro: Bastille.
