An adorable shop full of all kinds of cute and creative housewares…read more I love cooking and spend a lot of time in the kitchen, so it's only natural that I would seek kitchen gadgets and utensils that have as much personality as I do. This place is full of cute and funny but practical items you didn't know you needed, and other things that make you want to replace what you already have. I was able to find quite a few useful additions for my own kitchen, including a few items that I've had a hard time finding elsewhere.

For me there was just too much, and I couldn't really smell each one because of how overly scented the entire store was. It overwhelmed me and I felt like I couldn't make a commitment.

When a French man swears his legience to anything organic and vegetarian- it deserves investigation. Think the au naturale version of Brooks Brothers- sitting in a tree house contemplating a gadget that makes watering your betterave plant a whole lot easier. This is Nature et Decouvertes. The best part about this store is its location- Cour Saint-Emilion. This courtyard is a must-see and dodges a lot of the typical touristy type. It is just lit up with lights, day or night, and the casual-chic atmosphere makes you want to buy something from Nature et Decouvertes just to play with it in the courtyard for hours. Grab some wine, sit and dine; this is what Paris is all about. Tips: Be sure to head across the street (towards the Metro stop) to check out the botanical garden that is just amazing, quaint- refreshing contrast to the vastness of the Luxembourg.
