For over 80 years, Le Vieux Campeur has been camping on its hill in the Latin Quarter. The starting point for countless adventures, it has always been the go-to place for outdoor enthusiasts, freedom seekers and escapists.

In 2026, Merci and Le Vieux Campeur joined forces and launched their first joint collection: Le Vieux Campeur – Congés Payés.

The name was not chosen at random. Congés Payés was the name of the department at La Samaritaine where Aymeric de Rorthays, founder of Le Vieux Campeur, cut his teeth in retail as a department manager. This formative experience gave him the impetus to set up his own business and, a few years later, to create Au Vieux Campeur.

Au Vieux Campeur Congés Payés looks back on the history of holidays with fondness, nostalgia and a touch of mischief. The pieces are designed for lovers of the great outdoors, whether in the city or elsewhere — urban in essence, but always ready to dream of faraway places.

Le Vieux Campeur – Congés Payés is the meeting of two Parisian houses that share the same vision of the wardrobe and the same love of the art of living — here, as elsewhere.
