Description
Is there any country easier to fall in love with? Ask Sophie, who went to Paris for a long weekend in her twenties and stayed nine months. She ate croissants on the steps of Sacré-Cœur, spent rainy afternoons in front of the water lilies at the Orangerie, and finally took the train to Giverny, where she stood on the Japanese bridge in Monet’s garden and burst into tears without quite knowing why. She has been back every year since, and she always brings home something small.
This box gathers all those loves into one. It depicts a map of France, with the Eiffel Tower rising in its place and the painter Monet himself shown among the regions he made famous, the whole design painted with colourful care. Inside there is space for a Métro ticket, a pressed flower from Giverny or a tiny note in French. Art lovers, travellers and Francophiles will cherish it as an inspiring desk companion, the perfect thing to gaze at while planning their next trip across the Channel or the Atlantic.
