The only feminist and LGBTQ bookstore in Paris.

Bless. I had an internship here in 2013, and had the most wonderful experience. My favourite time of the day is when we have lunch on the little bench outside of the shop and passerby will shout out bon appetit. :) I love the products from bless. Absolutely original and uncool :)

I go to the flea market in St Ouen to look for old cameras and expired film. But it’s also a great place to see all the different walks of life from Paris’ extreme social scene. At the top of the ladder you’ve got the aristo-bourgeois crowd acquiring Louis XV furniture at the indoor antiques markets; the thirty-something bobo set paying way over the odds for mid-century designer chairs and formica tables; the banlieusards from the Neuf Trois getting kitted out with the latest sneakers and hoodies along the rue des Rosières; then at the very bottom you’ve got people trying to scratch a living selling second hand food at the Carré des biffes at Porte Montmartre. It’s an eye opener for sure.

Prettiest skin care shop
