Place A

Founded in trendy SoPi (South Pigalle) in 2013, this concept store periodically gives free rein to a guest designer, concentrates its display on a theme (like a particular accessory) or holds long-running events in-store. Adrien is the proprietor, and he will give you an enthusiastic tour of all the knick-knacks in stock, from the Yankee Candles (scented with clean cotton, perhaps, or grilled marshmallows (from €2.20)) to a vintage drinks fountain (€68). Adrien resolves to make great gifts available for around €30, but you can pick novelties up for less – cactus-shaped ceramic vases for €22, man manicure kits for €25.50 – or splash out on a hurricane lamp for €80. For doing out a bobo Paris apartment, it’s a great place to start.
