General Store Paris is a boutique known for its commitment to the timelessness, mid-century design and craftsmanship from the 50s to the 70s. The collection highlights substantial, anchoring wooden pieces – buffets, armchairs, side tables, and desks – distinguished by their clean and almost austere silhouettes.
These designs eschew the ornate embellishments often associated with traditional French furniture, instead embracing the simplicity and functionality that define Scandinavian aesthetics.

6. CAROUCHE
The best finds are sometimes outside of urban city areas and Carouche, located in the north east of Paris is one such example. The boutique is run by Caroline, its passionate owner who curates an exceptional range of furniture and objects sourced from across France.
While specialising in iconic industrial pieces from the 20th century, Caroline also celebrates everyday vintage furniture from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Unlike the boutiques in the city, being situated just a little outside gives her the space to display her objects in home-like settings which extends outdoors, where vintage pieces are creatively displayed in harmony with nature.
