If you are looking for some chipotle chiles in Paris, l’Epicerie de Bruno has them. It is a great little store who sells all sorts of spices from all over the world (Iranian saffron, bbq spices, balti masala, Argentinian chimichuri, habanero chile, ancho chile, mola chile, piquin chile, niora chila…), as well as lots of specialty salts and peppers, herbs (avocado leaves, hora santa leaves, hibiscus leaves, hyssop leaves, dried Thai basil…), specialty sugars (rose petal sugar, maple sugar, unrefined Bolivian sugar cane, palm sugar, Muscovado sugar…), specialty rice (squid ink risotto, Carnaroli rice, riz-au-lait, sushi rice…) Last but not least, are you looking for Allspice in Paris (Piment de la Jamaïque in French)? Search no further, head for l’Épicerie de Bruno. Now you can go home and make some proper hot apple cider!
All of l’Épicerie de Bruno’s goods are featured on the store’s website and can be purchased online.

These are the stores where professionals shop. And if you aren’t into cooking or baking, you could still go check them out because they are truly uncommon stores, if not unique. You can find most of these stores in one small walkable perimeter, in the center of Paris.

First Sandrine Dulon made jewelry for her friends, then her work became increasingly popular and finally she met the person who launched her career: French Elle Magazine fashion editor fell in love with the Satellite Spring and Summer collection of 1988 and it made the cover of the magazine’s January Special Fashion issue of that year. Satellite’s new collections are bi-annual and always reflect diverse cultural influences.
