Lourmarin Shopping at Rose de Bagatelle

Lourmarin Shopping

It’s a small world’, maybe an overused cliché…… Yet things often happen to me, fine gossamer strands weaving connections to my life in California and very often Provence. These invisible threads do indeed shrink my world, just like this story about the charming owner of a shop in Lourmarin, Rose de Bagatelle.

This women’s clothing and home decor shop is tucked away on one of Lourmarin’s charming alleys. A mother and daughter team, Nanou and Tatiana, are the store owners and creative individuals behind this concept that blends romance, elegance and Provencal lifestyle.

Browse their curated collection of clothing and accessories. Shop for the perfect hostess gift, for that impossible someone. Find that decorative item that adds a unique flair to your home. If you cannot get to the boutique in Lourmarin, it would be a shame but not to worry you can buy items directly from their website.
