Actually i prefer the layout in here but the choice and price is not as good as IKEA…read more That said you can get a few bargains-and i particularly like their carpets and curtains. The downside is that costs are high here and dont expect much help (I had to search for some one) in all though i prefer this option.

This store reminds me a little of Pottery Barn, but I dont think the furniture is the same quality…read more That seesm to be a theme in France so far, furniture is more expensive than the states but not as good quality, however, you can find cute things here. They have the place set up in different areas with all the matching stuff around and you can find a lot of nice things for the home here from furniture to mirrors, drapes, tableware, lamps etc. They have a lot of "Americana", NY city prints, as well as the London ones, plus cute French signs. I've added the UK website since its in English, but there is one for France as well.

A delightful little coffee shop located just off of Plainpalais, this place is really easy to miss…read more Compared to the quaint interior, the exterior of the shop is very unassuming, although it was fairly dark when I got there and it may be a bit more cheery during the day. But the homey atmosphere, dimmed ambiance, just-ok hot chocolate are all secondary to what I'm really here to talk about: THE CHOCOLATE-BROWNIE-CAKE-PIE DESSERT. Obviously, that's not it's real name, but having just pointed at our desserts, we didn't actually catch a name. But you can't miss it. It's chocolatey, cakey, and fudgy at the same time, but in absolutely perfect proportions. I was almost taken aback by how easily my fork slid through the cake, and may have actually let out a giggle upon first bite. We also had the lemon custard pie, which was a bit too runny and watery. The thin top layer of dried custard popped upon impact, sending out a slow-running flow of citrusy custard lava all over the plate. Taste-wise it was pretty good, but texture-wise I was tempted to take it home and freeze it for a few minutes. It stays open late, which is a godsend here. But it's not in the best part of town, so make sure you're with a group!

It's the kind of shop where I actually would never buy anything from it, but it's just very pleasing for the eyes because it looks so elegant! They have a big golden Buddha statue inside. They sell very beautiful items for home decoration like glassware, tea cups and pots, candles, flower vases and so on. You will find neckerchiefs, scarves and bags too. The shop is located at Rue de Bourg which is the branch of some luxury shops like Hermes and Louis Vuitton. Of course that means the prices of Cardas items are very expensive.

It is clear that this is not the price of shops chain as MaxiBazar, but this is normal, it's a shop with artisanal and ethical dimension! And thanks to them we are saving airfare tickets ;-)
