Part charming café serving lunch, snacks, and coffee and part concept store, CQFD (Créations Éthiques Franco Décalées) is hands-down Avignon's chicest shopping destination. Its spacious rooms brim with a curated selection of whimsical clothing and jewelry, chic stationery, tableware, soaps, cosmetics, and handmade housewares (including eco-paints and hand-blocked wallpapers). Everything is eco-conscious—and made in France.
If you're into Louis XVI, the Fusterie quarter caters to antiques hunters and interior decorators.
The more luxurious shops along Rue Joseph-Vernet and St-Agricol in the Joseph Vernet quarter merit some lèche-vitrine (window licking, as the French say).
For those with a taste for all things Provençal, this gourmet épicerie sells many of the delicacies found in the region's best local markets, all neatly packaged and suitcase ready—if they make it that far. Shop for olive oils, tapenades, herbs, preserves, bottled soups, fruit jams, honey, pastries, lavender-based sweets or cosmetics, and so much more.
This shop has a cornucopia of old-fashioned, old-world, and marvelously eccentric hats in a jewel-box setting.
For all things lavender—and not just any lavender—this shop has the best AOC essential oil (it must be from flowers that grow above 2,600 feet) from the famous Château de Bois, plus a range of top-quality soaps, body lotions, and other fine cosmetics made with lavender essential oil.
All those famous, gorgeous Provençal fabrics can be found at Souleïado—sold by the meter or as elegantly tailored shirts, dresses, and skirts. There's also a fine selection of leather boots, bags, and other accessories.
