Merci, merci and encore Merci to the wonderful people that have designed and opened Paris's newest, most beautiful store with profits going to a childrens charity in Madagascar. This gem is on the edge of the Marais (super handy for me) and is a more accesible concept store than Collette (you don't feel as you though you will be kicked out because you don't have big black Michael Caine glasses). Merci is pure joy, it has the feel of a warehouse crossed between a private home. Christian Tortu is the Florist in residence, Annick Goutal has the perfume lab, there is a wonderful bookstore cafe with used books that cost as little as 2 Euro! Downstairs is a fab low key restaurant with affordable prices that looks out onto a herb garden. On the ground level is fashion and bed linen on the second floor is interiors with a little photography corner and glam kidswear, fabrics and wool. I met my darling friends the Corbett's there today, Shay is my glam friend from the Lido cabaret, Bryce is the author of A Town like Paris and you will see by the last photos that their son Flynn was just as thrilled to be at Merci as we were. He was stopping traffic on Boulevard Beaumarchais and had a crowd gathered loving his antics, not sure whether he was just another cool installation.
