l’objet qui parle – part III

l’objet qui parle – part III
A visit to l'objet qui parle, 86 rue des Martyrs, 75018 never disappoints me (unless I find it closed).

Petit Pan

Petit Pan
This colorful window display of Petit Pan Maison & Décor caught the attention of my daughter and I while we were wandering around in the Marais. We found their store filled with not only décor for the home, but also accessories like a turquoise corduroy duffel bag with an orange zipper that my daughter thought would…
