To find a pendulum, push the door and enter Maison de la Radiesthésie, the oldest esoteric store in Paris, created in 1925 and set a stone’s throw from the Madeleine. the store is typical with its old store façade. Inside, it’s big and spacious. You’re welcomed by the lovely Rebecca and her charming Venezuelan accent, or her colleague, Sophie.

The store provides the largest range of pendulums in Paris, as well as rods and antenna beams, an instrument highlight used in radiesthesia. They allow to detect sources, underground voids and many other things.

To be simple, radiesthesia relies on the idea that living bodies send radiations you can feel thanks to these tools. The store has an impressive range suiting every budget. Pendulums cost between €9.50 and €143 and rods between €14 and €150 for a Lecher antenna.

You’ll also find a nice collection of cards, many books about dreams, reiki, reincarnation and eve, diet, candles, as well as lotions to apply on candles to improve their power. The store also offers some beautiful stones of different sizes such as this superb labradorite weighing about ten kilograms, a stone coming from Madagascar and said to bring rooting and integration.

Of course, you’ll also find the famous Ouija boards, these divination and spiritism boards famous in the general public. Yet, Rebecca warns her clients about this very powerful tool often used without precautions.

Here clients are French and foreign, and they come from many professional backgrounds. You can meet mediums and energetists as well as architects or engineers who came to get rods before their next project.

It’s a rare place taking you to another time and space, far from the Parisian hustle and bustle. To be discovered!

Please note that it's been over 4 years since our last visit, so the place and experience may have changed.
