Located directly across the street from our apartment, Rarissime ( rare) is the tiniest of shops nestled into the side of the beautiful Église Saint-Roch. Founded in 1638, it's no larger than most American walk-in closets, but is filled to the brim with antiques and collectibles.

Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Love the warm glow coming from within..
Did someone say "antiques and collectibles?!" Please step aside.....
Bon lundi, V de B!
I'm so jealous at your neighborhood and so thankful that you show it to us!
Loved looking in this window every morning and evening ... Is it time to go back to rue St. Roche? I think so!
I love the warm light inside the shop.
Good things come in small packages!
Love it!! I have a small vintage locket from this store that I adore!
What I wouldn't give to spend some time in there! This place brings to mind the words "CHA CHING" HA
I think I just drooled on my keyboard Virginia haha!
I like that the place is well lit so you almost see everything inside.
The age of this shop is really rarissime! so old, and still there.. incredible!
Love the warm light, the cold stone, the bicycle (unlocked?), and the fact that this charming place has been here for almost 400 years!
What a lovely little shop. Great photo as well! Have a great new week!

What a neat place! The bicycle adds a nice touch to the photo.
Love seeing this shop... can I say it makes me homesick and that I miss it? Love seeing Monsieur's bicycle.
I'm putting this shop on my 'when i go to Paris list' for sure!
I'll have to remember this place!! I could just move right in and be happy.
Ce genre de boutique où on aime aller fouiner... Très jolie photo.
Gros bisous à vous...
