It's well known that Parisians are eternally dissatisfied. But if there's one thing they hold dear, it's their city, which they love more than anything else. Once again this year, Merci is organizing a Greetings from Paris exhibition, to enable these Parisians to have fragments of their favorite city in their own homes.
Every summer at Merci, memories don't wait for oblivion to be born: they invite themselves into the daylight, slipping into a clutch bag, a perfume, a cap. Under the sunny dome, an original scenography takes place.
Booths and bookstalls invite visitors to stroll, stop and browse through Paris. Offbeat goodies, fashion, vintage collectibles and Merci-branded items... Each selection tells the story of an emblematic fragment of the City of Light. And since Parisians are also known for their politeness, Merci unveils a collection of T-shirts and caps embroidered with “De Rien” in seven languages and seven colors.
“Souvenirs de Paris” is an exhibition to be browsed like an embossed postcard. For those who love Paris, its contrasts, its secrets, its humor. Because when we return home to Merci, we all become a little Parisian.
