The Best Shopping in Paris: 21 Places Not to Miss | Condé Nast Traveler
"This independent shop in what was formerly a family-owned tapestry workshop is a gateway into the retro-whimsical world of Marin Montagut, the multidisciplinary artist behind playful homewares and the books “Maison: Parisian Chic at Home" (written with Ines de la Fressange) and “Timeless Paris.” True to Montagut's penchant for antiques and old-world general stores, the shop is set up apothecary style with wood countertops and repurposed Siegel display stands sourced from a hundred-year-old market in the South of France. You'll find mix of travel ephemera, vintage finds, a charming collection of fabric ornaments, and, of course, a wide selection of Montagut's own designs: hand-painted porcelain dishware embellished with half-moons, hearts, and Louis XIV–style sunbeams; ex-votos; painted silk scarves; papier-mâché boxes; scented candles; and a variety of illustrated stationery." - Lindsey Tramuta
