When I discovered this little shop online I knew I had to go see it. It was described as a unique French antique shop and I love everything French and I love antiques so, it was a must. It is right off of the Main Street down on Morris Street, not even a block down, and is a little hidden gem! Danielle, the owner, is from the south of France and is the sweetest lady! I loved chatting with her about her shop and all her travels. She goes to France regularly and sources her items there, so everything is hand-picked and oh-so-french. She said she has branched away from antiques (there are only a handful of antique items left) and has focused more specifically on French houseware goods, she has quite the variety. We ended up walking out with some Laguiole knives, a cookbook, and some soaps and lotions, among other things. Such a cute little shop! Loved it! read more

After going the length of main street several times during our stay in Blowing Rock, we read about this little French shop and decided to check it out. Sure enough, it's a cozy little shop that Francophiles would love, filled with books, posters, linens, beauty products and more. We didn't really need anything but got some small soaps at a good price. The proprietor was very sweet and unobtrusive. Definitely a unique store and worth browsing. I can't think of another similar French shop we've come across in the state. read more
