Paris / Bookstore

Ofr is a bookstore, gallery and lifestyle. Alex and Marie have been running one version or another of this Paris institution for the last 20 years. The shelves are always packed with a new selection of books, magazines and art.

Paris / Shop

Lovely space in the 10th arrondissement, near place de la République. With a fine selection of home decoration and useful things.

Paris / Restaurant

Great place for coffee in the morning, delicious homy lunch, or a drink in the evening. It's a cosy neighborhood joint, with a fun crowd and vintage furnitures

Paris / Architecture

Jardin du Palis-Royal - 1780 Secret place. Between the Louvre and the Place de la Concorde, a wonderful french-style garden. In the 1780’s, Philippe IV of Orleans (later named “Philippe Egalité” ) acquired the whole place. Extravagant and overly indebted, he decided to build shops around his gardens and rent them out. Convinced by the idea of having a theatre, the Duke thus decided to build the “Comédie française”.

Paris / Shop

There's a few secondhand clothes stores in Paris, but always immaculately selected, expensive and fashionable. Guerrisol however is a huge, dirt cheap jumble sale. Stock seems to rotate daily in each of their four stores, and prices fluctuate on the hour. Sifting through endless rails of synthetic jackets at €3 can suddenly reveal a hidden gem.
