Paris: Boutique – Hermes - Rive Gauche.
I was so looking forward to seeing the Hermes boutique in person, it is situated on the left bank inside a former
swimming pool built in 1935, in the Art Nouveau style by Lucien Beguet. It is so photogenic, that when I actually got
there, it wasn’t quite as majestic as I had imagined.
However, it is very beautiful and very luxurious and has that Hermes’s low-key
style, which is so chic, the space was designed by Denis Montel of the RDAI
studio.
Hermes - Rive Gauche - a detail. The
huge space is divided typologically by beautiful wooden sculptures that look
like upside down onions. The boutique also houses a tearoom, a bookshop and a
florist, as well as all the Hermes products we are so familiar with and love.
Hermes - Rive Gauche. Inside the front
door, which is elegantly opened by a doorman in uniform is my favorite space,
the florist. The fresh flowers grouped
by variety are so pretty and the cactuses and plants are well chosen and affordable.
