Merci, a three-story concept store in the fashionable and quirky Marais neighborhood, is a lavish showcase for the style of its founders Marie-France and Bernard Cohen (who also created Bonpoint) across fashion, home ware, cuisine, and the likes. Merci is also the first “Charity Store” in France and donates 100% of their profit to a charity association helping women and kids in Madagascar. Now how about that?
Ground floor: central atrium display and fashion goods. Brands like Stella McCartney and Paul Smith helped to create Merci by offering some pieces 30 to 40% below the selling point of their own store.
First floor: furniture and home accessories.
Basement: kitchen ware, gardening tools, plus a space for light bites.
On the ground floor there is also the Merci Cafe, always a lovely spot to rest your feet.
A must visit for design lovers.
