Le Guide de la Déco Vintage à Paris

       Hello, I’m Mélanie. Some of you may have already been reading some of my material on the Internet. I have been sharing my vintage expeditions for the past 4 years on my blog, Rose Cadillac. My niche? Decoration! And Paris is the place where I am fortunate enough to discover beautiful shops where I fall in love with something new every day. 

Roaming, rummaging, and uncovering secondhand markets is my obsession. That’s the reason that I decided to launch Rose Cadillac in May 2013 with a simple idea: sharing the best addresses for vintage decoration that I have discovered in France and abroad. However, my favourite playground remains Paris and since pleasure is only real when shared with others, I have wanted to extend my Internet adventure by compiling my 65 favourite shops / secondhand markets / pop up stores I have come across in the capital in one sole publication.

One, two, three, go! Within the 170 pages that compose this guide book, you are going to meet passionate people and their worlds. During your walks, you will be accompanied by beautiful maps highlighting the addresses that cannot be missed and those that you can explore in every nook and cranny of Paris. Whether you are looking for a specific designer piece, a unique barber’s mirror or even a Scandinavian dresser made of teak, this guide will be sure to help you find where that rare gem is hiding! 

No publishers have been approached for this project. In order to remain completely free, both in content and creativity, there was no hesitation to throw myself in at the deep end.

The book cover, the cards as well as the pages introducing the various addresses have been imagined over time and now fully match the way they were in my thoughts.

A quick look at what’s in there? 

I would also like to thank my friend John Montupet for the editing of the launch video as well as Sylvie Vassart, my mother, for her active search for possible spelling mistakes page after page.
