Paris Essentials: Retro (Bath) Time

You’ve bought the made-in-France candle and the made-in-France perfume, the made-inFrance tea and the steel cooking pot… so here’s an idea that’s easy to wrap up, send by post or keep for yourself. This month, put a new spin on bath time with beautiful soaps and bathroom accessories by Le Baigneur (the bather), supposedly a men’s grooming brand, but for everyone. Founder Fabien Meaudre works hard to keep all products natural, organic and free from harmful chemicals and packaging plastic-free. Also, he makes it all in his 11th-arrondissement workshop, which you can peek at through the glass walls of the shop.
