Le Boudoir et sa Philosophie

Photo Credit Dominique Bergeron


















Bonjour! Cutes Shops Blog was thrilled to find Carla Vizzi's shop in the Marias area of Paris. She says her shop is a place to rediscover the Art of Living in the 18th-century around the daily activities of the Boudoir. Carla works with craftsmen who recreate 18th century art and she also sells both antiques and newly created classical elements that may have been found in Marie Antoinette's boudoir. Commission portraits of your favorite dog, in an 18th century spirit, are but one of the many possibilities of artwork she can also create for you. So, lovers of baroque, head for the Marias and step into a exploration of intimate Parisian life at Le Boudoir et sa Philosophie.

Thank you so much for your comments! Small world, isnt it. Beijing is an incredible place and would love to capture some of its cutes shops. Yes, please scout! I would be most grateful. I remember those unique tea houses in the hutong. I dont even know if the hutong exists anymore.
Thank you, Dominique!

i'll keep my eyes open (and my camera is always ready!)
hutongs are definitely disappearing indeed, sadly, but there are some neihgborhoods that have been preserved and some house very cute shops!

yes tea houses, ceramic shops, accessories, furniture, etc... beijing is changing every day at an incredible pace but when you know where to look, there is still some traditionnal charm left...

i've bookmarked your blog, will stop by again,
;)
