The Parisian spirit of valuing the good old days is evident not only in fashion but also in lifestyle. A peek into an apartment reveals antique furniture and handmade pottery, and towels and bedsheets made from natural linen are a staple. Lifestyle brands Merci and Astier de Villatte, both popular in Japan, remain highly acclaimed, but new shops are opening one after another in Paris, attracting attention. We bring you a glimpse into modern-day Parisian life at lifestyle stores, large department stores, and historic flea markets.

The boutique that's currently the hottest topic in Paris is Marin Montagut, which opened in the 6th arrondissement last June. It offers original tableware, objects, and accessories created by illustrator and object creator Marin Montagut. The boutique was formerly a furniture atelier specializing in reupholstering chairs, and the interior blends old and new.

The store is packed with Marant-painted glasses, plates, perfumed candles, greeting cards, cushions, scarves and more, giving you the excitement of being in a toy box. Marant's colorful, vintage-style illustrations exude a sense of nostalgia and warmth, and the more you use them, the more you'll grow to love them.

The furniture displaying the products in the store, which is bathed in a pale green, is made up of old tables and shelves that were used in old shops, which Marant has found all over France. Mixing period furniture with antique-style objects is a very French approach. A personalization service is also available, with Marant creating handwritten letters and illustrations in the store. The result is a boutique that shines with the illustrator's sense, arousing curiosity and the feminine heart.

Samaritaine Department Store reopened in June of this year. Founded in 1870, this historic department store had been closed since 2005 due to the aging of its building and safety concerns, but has reopened its doors after extensive renovations. Located in front of the Pont Neuf, close to the Louvre and Notre Dame Cathedral, it offers convenient access for both locals and tourists.

Highlights include the magnificent Art Nouveau staircase that exudes history and the fresco on the top floor. The store is stocked with products from 600 brands, and there are also a cafe, a caviar bar, 12 restaurants and eateries where the menus are curated by rotating famous chefs, and a spa facility in the basement.

In addition to luxury brand shop-in-shops, the store also has a selection of up-and-coming young fashion brands, giving it the impression of being a department store that caters to a wide range of ages. The basement cosmetics floor is the largest in Europe, and it carries many international brands that are only available at the Samaritaine department store in France. The "Beauté Pure" corner, which brings together organic cosmetic brands, seems to be particularly popular among Parisian women. This revitalized department store, which offers everything from fashion to cosmetics and art, has become a new landmark in Paris.

Clignancourt Flea Market
While the streets of Paris are constantly changing with the opening of new shops, some stores remain unchanged for hundreds of years. A prime example of this is the "flea market." Clignancourt Flea Market, the largest in Paris, is bustling with locals and tourists every weekend! Interior designers, artists, and antique dealers from around the world gather here, and approximately 2,500 stores line the streets.
©FASHION HEADLINE
A variety of antiques, including cute miscellaneous goods and handicrafts, pottery and second-hand clothing, are lined up, making it a place full of once-in-a-lifetime encounters with new items. Some items are highly valued as antiques, while there are also many inexpensive, high-quality items. The joy of finding the perfect item, like a treasure hunt, is the greatest appeal of flea markets that you won't find in ordinary stores.

Vanves Flea Market
Located south of Paris, Vanves Flea Market is a more popular spot among locals than Clignancourt due to its wide selection of daily necessities, clothing, and kitchenware.

This may be the place where you can best feel the French spirit, such as the culture of cherishing and using things for a long time and the respect for history. The flea market, which is only held on weekends, is a part of daily life for locals and a place to relax and gather with familiar faces. No matter how much the Paris cityscape changes, the flea market will continue to be loved forever and will continue to make more and more history.
