Monocle

Bonjour, Paris! We are now open at 16 Rue Bachaumont in Montorgueil – one of the French capital’s most charming, village-like neighbourhoods. Stop by for a coffee and croissant, accompanied by the morning papers, or linger long into the evening over a nightcap with good company. Our shelves are stocked with travel essentials and our latest collaborations with brands that we love from France and beyond. Our newsstand, meanwhile, offers the latest editions of Monocle and its sister magazine, Konfekt, alongside a wide range of top titles from the French and international media. Lire plus. Vivre mieux.
