Bordeaux native Chrystelle Baran is the owner of this exquisite store and, not surprisingly, she concentrates on Gallic goods. The store, which sometimes feels more like a museum, sells imported 17th- and 19th-century French antiques and decorative pieces including eye-popping crystal chandeliers, ornate armoires and clocks that would dress up any mantle.
