History of the store
from 1902 to today

The story of the store begins in 1902, by our great-grandmother Catherine, who opened the store at the bottom of Avenue d'Ouchy in its current location. The floor as well as the furniture that you can see today date from this period. Oriented haberdashery at the beginning, the store will begin to sell its first souvenirs a few years later with the arrival of the English.

Our great-grandmother after getting married, had a son, Jeans, our grandfather, who managed the store between the 1940s and 1970s.

He himself had Catherine and Paulette as children who contributed to the extension of the story between the 1970s and 2010.

The line continues today with Jean et Matthieu Paulette's children.

En 2007 the store has a website - completely updated in 2015 and kept constantly updated.
