Who is the founder ? Let’s imagine an explorer with a passion for beautiful, timeless objects, a passion for authenticity & quality and a passion for French style who traveled France in search for original products. In his luggage: all the cult products which encapsulate the French style and all those on their way to be thanks to the passion of their maker… What’s behind the name ? France is the most visited country in the world, renowned for her rich heritage, culture, design and fashion. It is during holidays that we relax and take the time to shop in a more exploratory way, seeking outlocal culture and truly authentic products. Holidays are moments when we slow down, when we learnand do things we otherwise never would. Holidays are times when our senses are awoken and are more receptive to life. It is finally a magic moment where we feel more beautiful, healthy and charming. Ted Stanger, author of the book «A French obsession», wrote: «Somewhere, deep down in their heart, the French know that holidays and leisure are more than a trade-mark, like terroir products or luxury industry. They are their real vocation, their destiny.»
