Paris is one of those cities that never ceases to captivate. There’s something in its rooftops, the golden light that caresses the boulevards, and the little details that make every stroll an opportunity to discover something new. During my last trip, I gathered a selection of spots that tell the true soul of the French capital: special places where time seems to slow down, style meets culture, and the experience turns into inspiration.
📍Marin Montagut – 48 Rue Madame, Paris
A place outside of time, poetic and dreamlike. Marin Montagut is an artist, designer, and storyteller of atmospheres. His concept store in the 6th arrondissement is a small universe made of hand-painted objects, porcelain, illustrated maps, and French curiosities. Each creation is unique, made with love and refinement. An unmissable stop for those who love stories told through details.
