A little look around...

Places I love in Paris - part 2

Another bustling area I love to go to when I am in Paris is 

LE MARAIS

 Merci : 111 boulevard Beaumarchais 

is THE place to shop !

This three floor superstore brings together a carefully chosen selection of furniture, 

homeware, fashion, perfume...

There is also a lower ground floor canteen overlooking a courtyard garden
and a very charming and cosy café on the ground floor ( see first photo)

You will always find something to buy in this shop !!!

Bonton : 5 boulevard des filles du calvaire

This is their flagship store and even though I sell this brand I LOVE browsing in this beautiful three floor shop all about children...It's a very inspiring shop 

(the shop is 2 minutes walk from Merci on the same boulevard)

Rose bakery : 30 rue Debelleyme

There is a much bigger selection than the "mini one" in London

The brunch in rose bakery !!! Oh lå lå...

The bread, the scones, banana bread... 

A very yummy menu

Khadi and co : 37 rue Debelleyme

Winter or Summer I can't leave without a scarf wrapped around my neck
and this is the place to find one !

Just by walking around this area you will find a lot of shops and famous ones such as :

 A.P.C, Isabel Marant, Zef...

(These shops are by Saint sebastien-froissart tube station)

Little french trotters : 28 rue de Charonne

A multi brand shop for children

A nice selection of lots of small brands

Caravane : 19 & 22 rue saint Nicolas

Avery nice homeware shop

(Both shops are by Ledru-rollin tube station)

Lucky boy sunday

 These are Lucky Boy Sunday's newcomers 

Handmade knitted.

The collections are designed in Copenhagen, Denmark, and then produced in Bolivia by super talented women.

All is made of top of the pop 100% baby alpaca.

Lucky boy sunday supports some of the poorest population of Bolivia by giving them a good job and a fair price.

At the same time the Bolivian knitters make our dreams come alive

Places I love in Paris

Because I am French quite often mums ask me to recommend where to go to in Paris  
I was there last week and visited some of my favourites places... The ones I look forward to going to each time I am in Paris.
This time I stayed in the 6th arrondissement :

SAINT GERMAIN DES PRES

Bonpoint : 6 rue de Tournon

I am sure everybody knows Bonpoint ! But rue de Tournon is their flagship store, the most beautiful shop I have ever seen... Especialy around Christmas time ! Magical, enchanting, poetic, delicate...

And now they have a Nanashi restaurant on the lower ground floor, I just love it ! They do bento, salad, smoothies, dessert...

 I wish I could have a Nanashi restaurant in my shop !!! The dream...

 I tried the panna cotta au sésame noir : "délicieux"

Here are some other addresses :

Noro : 4-6 rue de Varenne - clothes for children

Talc : 40 rue Jacob - clothes for children

Petit Pan : 95 rue du bac - clothes, decoration, fabric... for children

Pépé shoes : 50 rue des saint pères - shoes for children

La boutique suedoise : 157 boulevard saint germain - 

adults and children clothes, shoes, bags socks...direct from Sweden
Soeur : 88 rue Bonaparte - girls from 10 to 18 (and mothers)
Le bon marché : 24 rue de Sèvres - the BEST department store...
La grande épicerie : next door to "le bon marché, amazing food hall  !

I bought these cute little red slippers from la boutique suedoise

Here comes the fall...

The shop has put on it's autumn colours... and a little "trick or treat"
guest has slipped in amongst the selection...

How can you resist this sooo pretty, comfy, wooly, 

cutie, hoodie... jacket ?!

 Or very comfy flannel trousers...

                                                

Or a beautiful cashmere cardigan ...

                   

 I love this very "grand-pa"cardigan

A romantic little blouse with "golden ribbon"

 I don't need to introduce the colour of the season
any more : YELLOW... so luminous and warm for
this coming winter 

Happy halloween !

And finally a flannel satchel with a little
"je ne sais quoi"for our little ones

MAKIE

 The first word that comes to me when I think about Makié is "delicacy".

Makié is a brand from New York that I like for its elegance and modernity.

A New York duo with Japanese roots.

 A very delicate and poetic universe... in beautiful muted tones.

                    

   

                                            

   

Mood outfits

 As a mood board I thought about mood outfit
And luckily for you all these beautiful items are at the shop !
