Spending five nights in Paris at the end of May and we have a love of Lalique crystal. In a guide book we discovered that there is a area within the D'Orsay that features some pieces, but we are hoping for more. Can anyone suggest museums or stores in Paris?

As always, thanks

Several years ago, there was a Lalique store in the underground arcade (Carrousel du Louvre) of shops going into the Louvre.

See here for list of Paris locations for shops:

And see here for Paris museums that have Lalique pieces:

Dan, in addition to Sally's excellent suggestions, you may also want to check out some of the antique markets. I recall seeing Lalique pieces at an outdoor market next door to the new opera house. We spent a lovely April morning 10-12 years ago looking for 18th century blue and white Chinese Export china there. We were swept away by the knowledgeable and friendly dealers.

if you are interested in crystal you must absolutly see the newly open musee BACCARAT.
even if you don't buy entrance tickets to the museum in itself, you can have free access to the building and the shop on the ground floor which are AMAZING!
they also have a Gourmet restaurant& tea room on upper floor designed by P.STARCK called the 'crystal room'.
