James H Cohen & Sons * 437 Royal Street
While you are shopping in the French Quarter I recommend that you check out
James H. Cohen & Sons located at
437 Royal Street. This shop has been in business on Royal Street since 1898 back when Royal Street was congested with push carts, horse drawn carriages and singing peddlers. Long gone are those historic French Quarter days but not the
antique firearms and swords, the rare coins and currency, and other unique collectables and jewelry that you will find inside.
Fleur de Paris * 523 Royal Street
Fleur de Paris is New Orleans' most unique house of style and elegance, located in the heart of the
French Quarter at
523 Royal Street. Since 1980, Fleur de Paris has been known as a world-class hat boutique and custom millinery with an international reputation. Fleur de Paris is the perfect place to find a chic chapeau and elegant ensemble for events from galas & weddings to teas & a day at the races... to daily! Shop with us in the boutique or let us help you over the telephone with our online catalog of styles.
The Sword and Pen * 528 Royal Street
Another thing to do in the French Quarter is to check out the
Sword and Pen, the Le Petit Soldier shop. It is a neat little shop that specializes in

201 N. Peters Street.
