In fall and winter, the blue-grey skies and cold air accentuate the colors and warmth of the specialty shops found along rue Cler

The flower shops remain colorful as the weather gets colder.

Fauchon and Le Nôtre are two gastronomic caterering chains with shops in the area.

The Fromagerie Marie-Anne Cantin is a specialist in traditional cheeses. Mme Cantin has written a book on the subject, available in the shop.
