Though you may not be able to hop on a jet and visit Paris, there's a great alternative. And, you can be home by night time. Head over to Watchung Plaza for a tres chic day. First, grab a cafe au lait at Bluestone Coffee on Watchung Avenue. Then, a stop at Watchung Booksellers would be magnifique. For the kids, pick up a copy of the classic children's book Madeleine. And, for that special cook in your life, why not get a classic like Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking"?
Maybe a yoga class, at Yoga Desha, followed by a late lunch of crepes at Bonjour Montclair would be perfect. And of course, no day in Paris/Montclair would be complete without some more shopping. Check out Lili Meili & Beaufor gorgeous things for kids and mommies. And last, but certainly not least, a bottle of wine from Townhouse Liquors and Wines to take home will finish off our lovely day.

Start at the Montclair Antique Center, at 34 Church Street, which features items from dozens of vendors who specialize in everything from art, jewelry, furniture, clothing, ethnic artifacts and sports memorabilia. From there, visit American Sampler (American country antiques) Little Cricket (vintage goods) and the recently opened Montclair auction house, Nye & Company. If you dig Mid-Century Designs, you must stop in Edge. A worthwhile stop in Upper Montclair is My Inheritance, which carries a hand-picked collection of vintage jewelry and accessories.
