French Californians

What's not to love about this name? And if it's said that you can't judge a book by its cover, I don't believe the same holds true about the name of a shop. This little boutique, the only one of its kind in Paris, is off a sidestreet from rue Montorgueil, one that is worth meandering down, I might add. The shop announces itself with a bright rainbow-colored graffiti'd exterior. Inside, the display doesn't try to grab you, rather it just says, here we are: the latest skateboarder/ surfer athletic shoes, t-shirts, sweat shirts, hoodies, board shorts, havaianas, Ray-bans and other items of that ilk. Warning: Coming in here might make you extremely homesick (if you're from California).
