We've always had a soft spot for objects that you place somewhere... and find twenty years later in exactly the same spot.
They're not always the most imposing. They are often the ones we cherish the most.
The Lifestylecollection at Au Vieux Campeur – Congés Payés extends the heritage of the house on rue des Écoles with a selection inspired by the art of livingand an outdoor lifestyle. Objects that you use, that you give as gifts, that you keep for a long time and that naturally find their place on a shelf, in a bag or on a kitchen table.
Objects that accompany good times
They don't change the course of a day. On the other hand, they often know how to give it a little taste of vacation.
Stories that make you want to leave.A travel book, a travelogueor a vintage mountain bookeasily find their place in a bag or on a coffee table. There are beautiful booksthat you read from the first page to the last. And others that you always open in the middle. No one has ever held it against us.
Breaks that linger.A camping mug, an enamel mugor a water bottlehappily accompany both departures and returns. A camping mugor an enamel mughave a discreet talent: they often make you want another coffee. Conversations, meanwhile, take care of the rest.
Travel companions.A folding knifeeasily finds its place in a pocket or bag. A travel knifeaccompanies impromptu picnics, while a pocket knifeoften ends up following all escapades. An Opinel kniferarely spends its entire life in a pocket. It travels from a picnic basket to a wooden table, then from one hand to another. It's probably the greatest compliment one can pay to an object.
The comfort of late afternoons.A selection of fine foods, a scented candle, an embroidered patch, an umbrella, a wool throwor a wool blanketnaturally find their place in a home. A wool throwknows this situation very well: someone says they're not cold... then ends up keeping it on all evening.
