Paris in Lisbon is the stronghold of a Chiado from another time. It opened in 1888 (the year Fernando Pessoa was born) and made a splash in a capital where everything that came from Paris was longing for. It was one of the first shops in Lisbon to specialize in the manufacture and sale of Parisian women's fashion items and was the “cathedral of good taste” for Lisbon's elites, including Queen Amélia herself and all the nobility of the time. Since then, the country and the city have been transformed and Paris in Lisbon has been shaped by the passage of time. The furniture at number 77 on Rua Garrett remains the original, but the store specializes in household linen, in a varied offer that continues to excel in the quality of materials, the primacy given to national production, the in-house production of some items. and the manufacture of made-to-measure parts.
