The Broken Arm

12 Rue Perrée

The name might sound painful, but a visit to this store is anything but. Here is where you’ll find the cutting edge of bohemian chic in Paris. Founded in 2013 by entrepreneurs Guillaume Steinmetz, Anaïs Lafarge, and Romain Joste, The Broken Arm has a very indie feel throughout its products. Not only do they do lifestyle and fashion, but they have an excellent collection of books, magazines and even music cassettes, too.

The understated feel extends to the décor and atmosphere of the store as well. It feels like the perfect place to sit back, relax, and watch the people of Paris pass by. It’s a good thing that its got its own café to do just that.
