Paris Secret: Ines's good deal addresses

Because Ines de la Fressange is not only the embodiment of French chic, she is also a seasoned stroller, an urban explorer who knows the capital like no one else. If she recommends a shop, it's because she has set foot there, exchanged a few words with the owner, sensed the atmosphere, felt that little something that makes all the difference

And indeed, she regularly shares her favorites, which you will find in La Lettre d’Ines, this weekly meeting that her readers (and listeners!) eagerly await. Today, we remind you of four addresses she has chosen, tested, approved, and invites you to discover in turn. Fragrances, craftsmanship, flowers, stationery... each place has its charm, its story, its unique touch.

Follow the guide. Or rather: follow Ines.

Maison Diptyque – 7 rue Duphot, Paris 1st

The temple of candles, certainly, but not only that. Ines recommends this address for the magical atmosphere that reigns there. It's more than a shop: it's a universe. Home fragrances, rare objects, special editions... Everything here is designed with taste and poetry. Ines likes to find a scent for her home, or a refined gift that is always appreciated. And as she says, "a home without fragrance is like a face without a smile."

📬 Ines' Letter No. 495

Charly Watchmaker – 10 rue Godot de Mauroy, Paris 9th

C’est un petit bijou d’atelier horloger, comme on n’en fait plus. Ines adore cette adresse où l’on répare les montres avec autant d’amour que de savoir-faire. Charly, le maître des lieux, redonne vie à des pièces anciennes ou modernes avec une patience rare. Ines y va pour son sérieux, son œil affûté… et parce qu’elle aime l’idée de faire durer les objets qu’on aime, plutôt que de les remplacer. Un bel artisanat, discret mais précieux.

Christophe Cottin – 67 rue du Bac, Paris 7th

A florist unlike any other. Here, no conventional bouquets or roses wrapped in cellophane. Christophe Cottin composes subtle, almost poetic arrangements. Ines appreciates his eye, his taste for shapes, textures, and this way of letting flowers speak without overdoing it. On Rue du Bac, this discreet address is a real favorite of Ines: she often stops by, even without reason. Just for the pleasure of the eyes (and the nose).

Smythson – Le Bon Marché, Stationery – 24 rue de Sèvres, Paris 7th

Who else but Ines could have suggested the idea of a Smythson notebook as the perfect gift? This iconic British brand has found its place in the elegant stationery section of Le Bon Marché. Notebooks, planners, personalized journals… Each item is absolutely refined. Ines loves picking up things to write, organize, dream, or simply to please. And we understand her! Plus, you just need to go down one floor to find the space of the brand Ines de la Fressange Paris, with clothing, leather goods, and accessories so chic...
