Paris Shopfronts
Paris Shopfronts
Bring a little joie de vivre to your coffee table with Paris Shopfronts—a lovingly curated stroll through the streets of Paris, celebrating the city’s most charming boutiques, brasseries, bars, and boulangeries. This beautifully illustrated collection spotlights 200 characterful façades that make Paris… well, Paris. You’ll bump into icons along the way – from Le Bon Marché (France’s first department store) and Shakespeare and Company (the legendary English-language bookshop) to the bright lights of the Moulin Rouge, birthplace of the can-can.
Page by page, the book becomes a leisurely flânerie through the city’s most-loved quartiers: wander the cobbles of Le Marais, climb to the artists’ perch of Montmartre, get delightfully lost in the bookish Latin Quarter, and pop into elegant addresses in the 1st Arrondissement. Each storefront is a tiny love letter to craft, colour, and character – proof that in France, even the “everyday” feels cinematic.
Whether you’re plotting your next getaway, reminiscing about a favourite corner café, or hunting for a gift that screams ooh-la-la, Paris Shopfronts is a perfect pick. It’s equally at home inspiring your travel wishlist, brightening a coffee table, or delighting that Francophile friend who knows their pâtisserie from their fromagerie. Expect plenty of “stop and stare” moments, a few happy sighs, and spontaneous cries of “Let’s book tickets!”
