Shopping in Languedoc Roussillon

  1. A

    Esprit de Sel

    This wonderful emporium is a place to browse and squeal with pleasure as you discover some unexpected treasure that you never knew you wanted or needed until now. Jocelyne Feller has an eye for quirky, off-centre items, ranging from the seriously retro to up-to-the-minute contemporary. Penetrate deep into the three galleries to explore the wares, culled from suppliers both large and small, and local producers – umbrellas, suitcases, boots, soaps and lotions, ornaments large to tiny, lampstands, ceramics, clothing and much more.
