The typographer is a craftsman who "composes" letters by hand, the signs that give nobility to beautiful writing! It's also the machine that enabled the very first printers to manually shape the signs (writings) on the pretty, real sheets of paper. At a time when we spend (too) much time on digital tools, Nathalie has opened a stationery shop like we love them, which is the "little sister" of its original Belgian creator! Here you'll find everything you need for correspondence, with a pretty range of cards, but also quality notebooks, notepads, drawings, memos... And of course all types of paper for writing, as well as pencils and other pens to leave messages that last... Located just opposite the Natural History Museum, at Le Typographe, (beautiful) stories are written by hand on quality paper. Nathalie shares with us her passion for the products of her beautiful boutique, and introduces us to her collection of colorful greeting cards and other original versions of thank-you messages! The best thing is to come and see for yourself.... A personalized service is available in the boutique for your business cards, invitations...

The Picpus is both an appointment corner and a place of passage. What is particularly attractive to the visitors is its view on the other side of Angers, especially on the castle, which is not far away, barely on the other side of the water. The room is bright and the new owners care for the welcome to build a good reputation. This place three-en-one, in the light of the services offered, has passed the proximity of the proximity to please the people of the corner… as to those who only cross the city.

Quo Vadis is synonymous with the start of the school year. Her diaries are found in school bags and napkins in France and other European countries. For the general public or for "business gifts", the brand stands out for its creativity and manufacturing quality. It obtained the Origine France guaranteed label for its diaries in October 2013.

History. It was in 1952 that Dr. Francis-Georges Beltrami invented a new concept of time organization for his personal use, allowing him to visualize the week's appointments at a glance on a double page: the Agenda Planing®. Dr. Beltrami made his first diary by stamping the pages of a white notebook with an ink stamp representing the Agenda Planing® grid. The enthusiasm of his acquaintances and friends for his invention prompted Dr. Beltrami to take the plunge and industrialize his invention by creating Quo Vadis Publishing in Marseille. This two-page one-week agenda, structured with hours and action boxes, was the subject of numerous patent applications in France and abroad. In 1957, he created the Quo Vadis workshops for printing, binding and plastic cover manufacturing. A few years later, it was the turn of the "textagenda", now well known to schoolchildren, to be designed for the liberal professions. Quo Vadis also launched the first organizer, and the first diaries and "fancy" leather goods for the start of the school year. In 1999, he joined the paper group Exacompta-Clairefontaine.

The products. Diaries, calendars, organizers, directories, kits and luggage.

Employment. More than 250 people at its Carquefou site in Loire-Atlantique (44).

Not far from the remains of the ramparts and Anne de Bretagne's castle, just opposite the cathedral, is the red front of La Trinitaine in Nantes. In this store, where the wood of the beams rubs shoulders with the stone of the granite pillars, it's a veritable paradise for gourmets and lovers of the Breton terroir. You'll find a wide variety of both savory and sweet Breton specialties, from the Pointe du Raz to the Pays nantais. With, for example, those beautiful colored or painted boxes that our grandmothers used to grab from the buffet at coffee time, and which contain the tasty, and famous, Breton butter galettes. But galettes aren't the only thing on La Trinitaine's shelves: kouign-amann, sablés, madeleines... In 2023, try the vanilla, raspberry and chocolate trinibeurre. But also confectionery: berlingots nantais, salted butter caramels, Salidou cream, Coucougnettes (roasted almonds) or Niniches (Quiberon lollipops). On the savoury side, it's all about gourmet ideas, with a wide choice of preserves and other preparations (tuna, sardines) as well as fish soups, products from Belle Iloise or Guérande salt, buckwheat potato chips, Crousti Breizh, or buckwheat caramel. A corner is devoted to drink specialties: nantillais, cider, chouchen, pommeau, liqueurs and beers. Fine jams are also featured, with Bois Jumel and other delicious flavors. And don't forget the beautiful tins and new boxes designed by B. Morinay. Last but not least, admire the earthenware tableware and textiles featuring the famous Bécassine. This is the ideal corner for gift ideas all year round!

All old Laval are familiar with this imposing rotonde coffee in the form of a Rotonde, formerly named Lechat (the old Couppel-Aubry sawmill). It has to be said that he has to find himself at two steps from Vaufleury Cemetery and, above all, on the road to the industrial area of the Keys. Hence its time of opening - 4 h 30 - allowing the morning workers to eat their first coffee of the day! Tobacco, press, coffee, dessert, Le Domingo is also one of the French branches of the Games and one cannot ignore this detail because a swirl strewn with sums in euros lies in front of the fund: that of countless photocopies of the Millionaire winning bulletins purchased here. So notice to superstitious who like to earn money without (too) spending: Domingo is an Address for them!

Since July 2005, Stade Laval Mayenne Football Club's supporters have been watching with excitement one of the two towers of the Beucheresse Gate where their favorite store is installed. This is the Boutique du Stade in which all the clothing (caps, official shirts…) and other gifts (cups, toys…) that a supporter worthy of this name must acquire if it wants to be clearly identified as such at the stadium Le Basser or in the street, in the office or in its family-style. This boutique is also a place of privileged encounters between pure and hard stadistes. Finally, this is one of the places where it is possible to buy its place for the next match.

The essential gadget of the smoker at the beginning of the st century is without doubt electronic cigarette smoking: substitute for tobacco which allows the gesture to be kept but to reject the vapour which may be flavoured and contain or not of nicotine. The smoker therefore becomes "vapoteur", the concentration of carcinogenic products is less, however one cannot consider the object as a medicinal product. The size of the object varies according to the desired autonomy, and large smokers will give preference to the larger models. The shop thus proposes two types of boxes: one around the small model at 45,90 € (2 cigarettes, 1 recharge, 1 consumables) and the other around the big model at € 67,90 (2 cigarettes, 1 recharge, 1 consumables and 1 case). In addition, a wide choice of flavours is proposed, such as coolmist, American liquid for Mentholé tobacco.

This concept store is designed for cooking enthusiasts where they can choose from a wide range of modern and trendy utensils. Beginners or confirmed can take cooking courses and offer fine groceries.

La Civette du Palais is no ordinary tobacco shop. Cigar enthusiast Yves Pihan works in front of his counter, close to his customers.

Yvan, who has worked at the Publicis Drugstore in Paris, offers a selection of whiskies (French, Japanese, Irish...), rums (agricultural and molasses), as well as fine armagnacs, gins, champagnes and wines. There are also a number of "concept store" products, such as candles and retrogaming (retro games). A great address for cigar-themed gift ideas or to find the best spirits.

As the supermarket's annex, the size of the shop was revised downwards as a result of the great chambardement experienced by the mall.
