Museum-quality pieces proliferate in the Carré Rive Gauche area; head to the streets between rue de Bac, rue de l'Université, rue de Lille, and rue des Sts-Pères to find more than 100 associated shops, marked with a small blue banner on their storefronts. You could find a 13th-century bronze Buddha hand or a hand-carved rocking horse. Métro: St-Germain-des-Prés, Rue du Bac.
