Paris Loves you


Like all big cities Paris has many, many gifts and souvenirs shops. This one though is very original; it is located at the end of boulevard Saint Germain and I could not help smiling when I saw it... And what better message to send you all before the week-end!!

  4. Yes! I perfectly know this shop. Some Tours d'Eiffel, a handbell and a mug have moved to my home at Moscow directly from it! Oh, has forgotten to mention a magnet on a refrigerator! I love you too, Paris!

  6. >> Debs : I would have say that this kind of design is more influenced by the 60's psychedelic era than by the 70's. Even if this kind of art could also be seen in 70's.
    And it's fun. I came to a shop like this one with a trinidadian friend, she loves it. And I could see things I never imagine that could exist (thongs with an Eiffel tower, i.e.) ! What a wonderful exemple of the "bon goût français" !

    by the way, come to see some our my photos of Paris...
