One of the florists serving as a reference in Paris, Stéphane Chapelle, based for the past 22 years on Rue de Richelieu, has taken on a second challenge on the Left Bank. Facing the Cartier Foundation, his new boutique adopts the codes of gardens and the countryside of which he is so fond. Plants and shrubs spill out onto the pavement while chairs and armchairs invite visitors to take a welcome pause. With, as ever, a subtle blend of colours and an expert eye for textures.
