We will be in Paris in April. Not our first visit and we are hoping to find a painting/print as a memory of wonderful times in Paris. We will be staying in Saint Germain, but not limited to that area. Looking for galleries/shops where we might find a painting with a Parisian theme Thinking of a price in the 200-500 euro range. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

My daughter bought a lovely watercolor of Paris from the artist when we strolled through the Montmartre Neighborhood near the church, the Place du Tertre, There were quite a view artists working and displaying their art.

So another option if you don't find what you like.
Museum paintings, in city owned museums (Carnavalet, etc) are available for high res downloads - https://parismuseescollections.paris.fr/fr
I emailed the Carnavalet after my first time there about a painting that i still find fascinating (https://www.parismuseescollections.paris.fr/fr/musee-carnavalet/oeuvres/la-tour-eiffel-la-nuit#infos-principales); you can download and then get it printed via shutterfly, etc., too!

On my first trip to Paris in 2004, I bought a lovely oil painting of a Paris street scene from a vendor near Place des Voges and had it framed when I returned home. You can roll it and bring it on the plane with you rather than paying tariffs and shipping charges to buy one already framed and get the style frame you want.
