The best fashion and gift stores Normandy

This Japanese art gallery succeeds in bringing the Land of the Rising Sun to Rouen Cathedral. Isabelle and Valérie are on hand to show you their many treasures. A bookshop area offers an overview of literature past and present, with books dedicated to Japan. But the store's specialty remains prints, emblematic of Japanese culture. Uchiwa is committed to making these works accessible through its high-quality prints. Japan will continue to fascinate you.

Here's a beautiful address to visit for a thousand reasons. The concept? A theme ("solar", "ok boomer", "urban beauty") every three months, reflected in objects and items for sale: clothes, candles, perfumes, plants, lamps, vases, notebooks, belts and bow ties... and books. Tables await you for a cup of tea, or to read the newspaper, after taking a look - or more - at the current art exhibition. You'll be greeted with a smile... and shown to the door!

Surrounded by water, the docks are one of Le Havre's historic commercial centres. Built in 1846 to store goods in transit (coffee, cotton, spices, etc.), they were gradually abandoned and disused. Since October 2009, this urban complex has been restored to its original function. Today, over 55,000 m² of fashion and leisure boutiques and restaurants are housed under a large bay window. You'll find all the big names, plus a cinema. Within walking distance of the city centre. Year-round entertainment.

When you open the door of this boutique, you enter a world of fantasy! Run by Céline, this wonderful place literally transports you into a dream world: Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter to name but a few! You'll find a wide variety of decorations, enchanted objects, jewellery and gifts. We were seduced by Alice's mugs, Céline's handcrafted lanterns and much more, but above all by the store's decor: just look up and you'll lose yourself in a daydream.

This pretty boutique has grown in size (literally!) to offer even more finds. The mezzanine and the space below are now dedicated to a snack bar and tea room (with Korean specialties). Lee immediately puts you at ease and guides you through her Ali Baba's cave for all budgets: organic cosmetics made in France, trendy decor and pretty fashion pieces... Lee has worked for Véronique Leroy and Givenchy, yes! A real feel-good store that's sure to get you hooked!

History: In 1919, Forchy Pastry was founded in Yvetot, in the heart of the Caux region, by Roger Forchy. The brand perpetuates a tradition from father to son, which goes back several generations. With its century-old know-how, the company continues to demonstrate its commitment to product quality. Particular care is taken in the choice of products: French wheat, Normandy caramel, Guérande salt, Provence cherries, etc. Forchy Pastry is also committed to a sustainable development approach to limit the impact of its activity on the environment. Nearly 70% of the hot water used in its workshops is produced by solar panels.

Products: Cakes, fondant, brownies, pound cake, sponge cake, marbled cakes... All the essential products of the house are available in the direct sales shop, at direct manufacturer prices.

Located in the heart of the Galanderie artisanal zone, Cav' Aventure is first and foremost a beautiful and vast cellar: it's hard not to find something to suit your taste in wines, beers and spirits.

A rarity in the area, nestled under the arcades of Avenue du 6 juin, Caen's slightly chilly thoroughfare, this dressing room brings a touch of cheerfulness with its colorful, sequined windows.
