FIRST STAR • Small plate n°6 (left) – PARIS • Bastille vase – Eiffel Tower (right) – Faïencerie Georges
Here is a wonderful gift idea, original, chic and... madly Parisian! This is the “roofs of Paris” vase, with the Eiffel Tower and Bastille in the background, signed Faïencerie George.
It is one of the many decorative objects offered by this earthenware company founded in 1898 in Nevers which recently opened on rue Charlot, in the Marais.
Plates, dishes, vases, cups: the factory has been producing them for four generations. And has cultivated for more than a century recognized know-how, which is based on total control of all stages of production: manufacturing of plaster molds, working with the earth (calibration and casting), enamelling, drawing, hand painting. by hand, installation of chromos, cooking.
The result is several collections of plates and objects for the home which satisfy a clientele of individuals who love tableware.
We particularly like the “Paris” collections, dedicated to the capital, “Premiere star”, on the theme of skiing, “Abyss”, dedicated to the underwater world, and “Pylônes” which represents… high voltage lines!
Faïencerie Georges also offers a tailor-made service with, for example, plates representing the country house, based on a photo provided by the latter.
Several major restaurants in France (for example Chez Benoit by Alain Ducasse, in the 4th), Japan and the United Arab Emirates have also set their sights on this creative house. And U.S. too.

The Top 3 jewelry stores/workshops
Le Marais, where jewelry was already made under the Ancien Régime, remains faithful to tradition. Look closely: almost every street has one or more jewelry stores. If only for the pleasure of the eyes, you must stop in front of their window to appreciate this French know-how inherited from previous centuries.
Topology, accessories designed for adventure
An accessories store, Topologie was created by Carlos Granon, a Frenchman based in Hong Kong, and Go Urano, a Japanese from Tokyo, two childhood friends who are passionate about climbing.

Victor Hugo, the writer with a thousand talents
Born in 1802, Victor Hugo became a social writer, a playwright, a poet, a novelist and a romantic designer. Nicknamed the man-ocean then the man-century, he is a political figure and a committed intellectual. He found success with Notre-Dame-de-Paris in 1831 and with Les Misérables in 1862.
The best tattoo parlors in Marais
Tattooing, an age-old practice, has long been the prerogative of convicts, dock workers, the underworld and sailors. Although it has become democratized, now affecting all profiles and concerning one in five French people, including 16% women compared to 10% men, it still remains taboo due to its definitive and transgressive nature.
