Mistigrou is chilling in Maren's arms while Christophe paints his portrait on his canvas. Hélène, star of the instagram @merciparis, has given them the info that a Cartoon Palace exhibition is coming to Merci in January. This brilliant idea delights them. 

They often draw their inspiration from Merci's temporary exhibitions, which they love to walk around except on weekends and Wednesdays, the children's day. 

Maren is a mix-and-match enthusiast who likes to mix the colors of her washed linen sets. She has just sent Hélène a photo of her latest assortment of colors, Anduze Green, Raku Grey, Clay Red and Light Kaolin Yellow. Judging by the "thumbs up" sent in response to her client, she apparently approved of her choice. 

Christophe scribbles his canvas sketches in Merci notebooks that he carries everywhere with him. He often strolls through the stationery department upstairs while his partner polishes her collection of corduroy pants from the eponymous brand and Rive Droite waist bags made of upcycled fabric.

They often have lunch at Flor, carrots, salsa macha, mascarpone that look nothing like carrots, accompanied by a grilled broccoli and herb salad. 

Maren, daughter of the largest distributor of vacuum-packed German sausages, became a vegetarian at the age of 8 out of a vocation and not out of simple rebellion. Christophe, on the other hand, is an adept of flexitarianism, reserving his gargantuan meals for evenings out with friends, where he enjoys grilled meats and steaks of all kinds. His marital life can only be peaceful.

The lovebirds live their lives in Merci and it works out pretty well for them.

Any resemblance to existing characters is purely coincidental.

Claudia stretches, her slightly crumpled Merci sheets made of soft cotton gauze, a subtle mixture of Batignolles Yellow, Marais Blue and Gris Fusain, testify to the nocturnal excitement… Baby N°2 doesn't sleep through the night yet.

Claudia munches on a piece of croissant while her Açaï bowl sits patiently in the fridge.
She postpones, as she does every a.m., her morning meditation session and puts on an embroidered vintage blouse she found last week at Merci.

Gaspard plays the first notes of Imagine on the guitar, which he learned at his Montessori Quadrilingual school.

Mathieu flips through the latest issue of Les Inrocks before sitting down with his son to read Simone de Beauvoir from the Petite et Grande collection. He dreams of a better world!

Mathieu discovered a sudden passion for Lumios at Merci.
He even chatted and sympathized with Sofiane, the store manager, on the same subject.
It is rumored that he bragged in a nearby café, l'Étincelle, that he even had Sofians personal mobile number!

The imaginary family N°01 appreciates these moments of family bliss in the softness of their certified OEKO-TEX® Merci bed.
