merci x

i read about *merci* in this month's elle decoration, and cannot wait to take a trip to paris to visit....

....more than just a store, it was opened by marie-france & bernard cohen, founders of the gorgeous childrenswear label *bonpoint*, it's layout it more reminiscent of a house......it sells both contemporary and vintage items, homeware, clothing, gifts, has a florist, and a cafe, which is housed in a library of new & used books....

....but the absolute best thing about this store is the amazing philanthropic attitude of the owners, who are giving all profits generated by the store to children's charities in madagascar......x

find *merci* at 111 boulevard beaumarchais, 75003, paris
