Serendipity

Top choice in Bordeaux

Romantic and youthful, this delightful 'cabinet de convivialité' inspires bags of instant feel-good factor. After several years in Paris, Claire Chabellard returned to her native Bordeaux to create this colourful Ali Baba's cave of beautiful, thoughtful objects for the home. Think 'Follow your Dreams' notebooks, Sass & Belle gifts and accessories, personalised jewellery, hanging flower pots and all sorts.

Serendipity also runs craft workshops (origami, candle-making, sewing, flower arranging etc); check its Facebook page.
