We were walking down one of Paris' many streets and we stumbled upon Papier Tigre. Not much to look…read moreat from the outside, but on the inside is a stationery person's dream. There are all these little cute binders, notebooks, pins, pens, desk lamps. Although a small store, I could have spent at least 30-45 min in there just perusing their goods. I ended up getting a beautiful journal with a "pen band" to hold the pens I would use with the journal. I also got a rotating calendar that shows the fruits and vegetables that are in season at the time. There was a beautiful desk lamp in the shape of a book that turns on when you open it and turns off when it's closed. So beautiful. Their products remind me of similar things you might find in a Japanese stationery store. You want to know what the best part was? They gave us a reusable bag after our purchase to carry our items!

St. Michel, my first mistake) and turn right at first block to Rue de St Andres des Art. It is NOT on the street itself (my 2nd mistake) but in passageway Couer de Commerce between #59 and 61. Once you enter, the shop is 10+ meters on your left. It is indeed tiny but a paper lover/writer's haven: journals, day timers, cards, pens & accessories, wooden bookmarks, postcards, wrapping paper et al. My favorite purchases included separate leather cases (holds one pen each) - I got three in red, blue and orange each - a sheave of wrapping paper in different designs and a wood bookmark. Many of the products are beautifully designed and handmade; the owner will tell you which country they are from or made in, The items I bought were from in Italy, India and France. Well worth the effort to find!

After five hours in the Louvre we wandered out, bleary eyed, feet and backs hurting, and wandered…read moreinto a little shopping area. If I'm completely honest, I was a little annoyed the way I am when amusement parks have ride exits through the gift shop. It was actually alright since we still wanted to find some gifts to bring home to friends and family. After finding some goodies at Maxime's I meandered by Delfonics window. The weirdest thing happened as I pivoted on my heel and fell right inside the store. Must have been a weird gravitational well and that gravitational well is "Andie is a sucker for stationery shops". They had SO many goodies - great journals, stationery supplies, cool Japanese pens, and notepads. Basically it was a dream within a dream. My daughter is also afflicted with stationery store fever. Let's just safely say that we both found memorable items to take home and use daily which reminds of us the magical place that is Delfonics.

The photos arrived quickly and, in a nice phone conversation, we picked a dish that would be perfect for me and arranged shipping for it to me in the US.

This is a quality independent pen, ink, and stationery store -- not a boring cookie cutter corporate brick and mortar. In this small, well-lit, and colorful store you can find nice quality greeting cards and paper products. I even bought a Lamy Safari here and when I got home realized I should have bought a few more. Bring your English - French translator of choice -- do not expect the kind employees to be fluent in English. They have no website as of this review but they are on Facebook.
