Carole and Stephane Borraz met while studying at the Ecole du Louvre. Their love of antiques and design led to their own stand at the flea market of Saint-Ouen. In 2003 the couple took a giant leap and opened a small shop, Galerie Salon, in the chic Saint-Germain-des-Pres neighborhood of Paris.

The shop, managed by Carole, is chock-full of French, Swedish and Italian antiques, vintage items, an eclectic mix of contemporary art, as well as, items from an assortment of design studios. It is a fun place to shop -- everything you image a Paris shop should be. Carole has a designer's eye; an ability to mix styles--high and low--into a unique and stylish whole. Carole and Stephane and their two daughters live near the shop, they can see Saint-Sulpice from the windows. The apartment is small, but location is everything. Carole says that when anything comes into the apartment, something else must go! Here is a look at the family's small, but stylish apartment:
Here are a few photos of the shop:
