Dreaming of Paris and Comptoir des Cotonnier

It’s been a number of years since I’ve been in Paris, and I don’t have any immediate plans to get there in the future, but that doesn’t stop me from keeping a list of places that I must visit. Since I’ve seen all the amazing historical places as well as the museums (yes, the Louvre is lovely, but do visit the Musee de Orsay – it’s well worth the visit), mostly what I’m interested in is cultural. And of course, shopping.

Comptoir des Cotonnier dropped me a note recently to let me know they had moved into a new place on the Left Bank, and it sounds absolutely lovely. Meant to feel like a Parisian apartment, the new space is dressed in white, light gray, and taupe. It has arched ceilings, sofas, a real library stocked with fashion and design books, a personalized playlist, and a chevron wooden floor. The lighting is soft, with table and suspended lighting, and the furniture only adds to the feeling of being in a plush, intimate atmosphere.

It makes me want to book a flight to Paris. If only!
