For those with a penchant for quaint city gems and chic French boutiques, Paris Shopfronts will go down a treat. Flipping through the pages instantly transports you to a casual wander along the streets of Paris.
From Le Café des Chats, home to both feline residents and delectable foods, to Coco Chanel’s couture house, Chanel 31 rue Cambon, and bibliophile favourite Shakespeare and Company Bookshop (pictured), readers can revel in a vast array of destinations.
The French capital is known for exquisite boutiques and department stores, and Paris Shopfronts gifts a detailed history of these - beautifully presented alongside Joel Holland's characterful illustrations. For many, the likes of the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum are first to mind when it comes to Paris, but this extensive collection of shopfronts instead brings hidden treasures to the forefront.
Each and every one radiates a distinct personality, and a hint of je ne sais quoi with which I am obsessed.
