The area around the Martin Canal is full of relaxed and vibrant atmosphere in spring, summer, autumn and winter, with cafes and restaurants on both sides, as well as many interesting shops. This time, I would like to introduce a special store that Parisians like to go to and prefer to introduce foreign friends-Le Comptoir General.

Hiding quietly behind a gray iron gate by the river, Le Comptoir G é n é ral has no obvious indicator; after stepping into the iron gate, it will take a short walk to the main entrance, leading visitors into a dark corridor filled with exotic atmosphere. The old photos on both walls are lined up side by side like museums, telling forgotten stories; go deeper inside and you are in another country.

Founded in 2010, Le Comptoir G é n é ral adheres to their purpose: to preserve and carry forward the characteristics of rare folk culture everywhere. They are constantly looking for representative paintings, clothing, music and even diet in minority cultures, and bring them back to Paris, where they are perfectly integrated, communicated and presented to Paris in Le Comptoir G é n é ral. It combines restaurants, second-hand bazaars and coffee shops, and in the evening, Le Comptoir G é n é ral becomes an activity space for lounge bar and parties, and regularly hosts art shows and music live performances.

In 2016, Le Comptoir G é n é ral entered a new journey, transforming the entire site into the concept of a ship, taking all the people who came here to travel around the world. From the Caribbean to the Arctic, they take different countries as themes in different months, bringing local characteristics into food, drinks and a variety of unexpected artistic combinations.
