de Provence et d'ailleurs 131 Morris Street, Blowing Rock, NC 28605

"A trip to the NC mountains is not complete without a ‘side trip’ to Provence via this inviting and wonderful shop."

"Talk about an authentic French shop! My daughter became ecstatic when she saw the French glad hanging outside the shop. We purchased the most amazing cook book that both parent and child can complete together and the most amazing French flash cards for my daughter. The owner was very kind and helpful! We cannot wait to visit again!"

"Wonderful little French shop in Blowing Rock. As soon as you walk in the door you are greeted by a wonderful French playlist and a super friendly owner! With both antiquities and goods from France, you will also find literature and art. We were able to snag some great additions to a charcuterie board with some lavender honey and Fig preserves. If you get the chance, have a talk with the owner leave with a warm heart as well!"

"A place to buy very nice gifts from France. Danielle is a gem!"

"I have been to this lovely little shop several times over the years, and I am always impressed. This is like having a bit of France in my own backyard. During my lifetime, I have made 17 trips to la belle France, and this shop brings back many good memories, especially of the South of France. Each time I enter the shop, there is a fragrance that reminds me of the many shops I visited in France. Danielle, the proprietress, has a fantastic selection of santons(little saints), fabrics, soaps, sachets, ceramic and porcelain items, etc. Danielle is also very friendly and helpful, and I enjoy trying my French with her. If one is interested in purchasing unusual items not normally found in his/her typical American shop, he/she should definitely visit this shop. One will not be disappointed."
