111 Boulevard Beaumarchais, 75003 Paris, France
Colette used to be for fans of design and urban culture. For the others, there is Merci.
Men, women, house, there is something for everyone! Mecca of Parisian hipsters. This is the French concept store. And as a real concept store everything is temporary and change relatively often. They transform the main entrance into a garden, swimming pool, airport …
On top of that, there is not one, but three places to eat. The library, the cafe on the main floor but our favorite is the canteen of Merci. With its salad counter (5 kinds of salads on the same plate), its quiche of the day or its crumble.
The only problem is that it does not have a hostess to take your name and even if you have a reservation you may have to wait (long). But it’s worth the trip!
