During her shopping trip, the Duchess is said to have popped into Pierre Lafond's famous market and deli, which sells fresh food, specialty groceries and organic produce amongst a collection of cards, gifts and house-baked treats.
The mum-of-two is also said to have browsed the rails at children's clothing boutique, Poppy, and home furnishings store, Hudson Grace.
Meghan and husband Prince Harry are preparing to celebrate their first Christmas as a family-of-four this year. The couple are already parents to Archie, two, and welcomed baby Lilibet in June.
The Duchess opened up about family life during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show last month, saying: "Someone told H (Harry) and I that when you have one kid it's a hobby, and two children is parenting. Suddenly we realised, oh right, everyone talks about what it's like for the second child, but no one talks about the adjustment for the first child when the second one comes along. So I think they have that moment of, 'Oh, this is fun...oh, this is how it is now.'"
