If you are wandering north Paris, in search of shabby chic furniture, and you stray into the side streets near Rue LaFayette you might just find this gem. Tucked away in a little back street was this magical shop, a shabby chic fanatic’s fantasy come true. There were dozens of chair frames stacked almost to the ceiling. Each as delightfully ‘ancien’ as this one, each waiting to be re-furbished and re-covered in the fabric of your choice.I heaved a great sigh as I realised I’d never fit one on the Eurostar and reluctantly walked on, my desire for beautiful French shabby chic furniture will have to wait!
