While cruising through for an afternoon wine, my boyfriend forced me into this out-doorsy, hipster…read moreorientated, nature shop. 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.
