Appartement Le Sainte Catherine

Wow, it took me an hour to walk the length of this street at an easy pace, stopping to explore. It’s described as Europe’s largest shopping and pedestrian street, and there are shops everywhere, from clothing and accessories to fashion boutiques like Parfois, Aroma Zone, Morgan and Faguo. I also spotted quite a few Japanese shops. Along the way I tried bubble tea at Tea Time, homemade ice cream at Ben's Cookies, a tandoori platter at Miam's, and cheesecake with oolong tea at Uncle Inssi.

We’ve been coming to rue St Catherine every July or August for 14 years. We really like it, and the shops are nice with a good selection.

There’s a lot to choose from, with something for every budget. It’s a lovely shopping street, though it gets pretty crowded.

This lively street has a mix of restaurants and shops along it. It’s a place where people meet.
