Arc en Ciel is the 11th arrondissement's esoteric art gallery and boutique where you can find beautiful mandalas. The owners, Brigitte and Aristide, welcome and advise us. And if we feel like delving deeper into the subject, they even offer workshops.

Arc en Ciel is one of the latest arrivals in Paris in terms of esoteric stores. Founded in 2015 by Brigitte and Aristide, this store is both a bookshop and a small art gallery, in the heart of the 11th arrondissement. A good-natured atmosphere emanates from the place, and this has a lot to do with the luminous personalities of Brigitte and Aristide, two esoteric enthusiasts.

Brigitte exhibits her colorful paintings, as well as beautiful meditation mandalas on canvas that she hand-paints herself. It's also the ideal place to buy pretty zafus, round meditation cushions that allow you to sit cross-legged without getting ants in your feet!

Here you'll find whitemagic items, books(including many on angels), cards and even a few stones. There's also one of the store's star products to discover: musical bars that harmonize the chakras through the vibration of sound. Each bar produces a particular sound that corresponds to a different chakra.

Arc en Ciel also offers group dowsing workshops, for which you can register on the boutique's website. Brigitte offers tarot de Marseille drawings by appointment, while Aristide offers magnetism sessions. Count €50 for about 1 hour of individual treatment. Appointments can be made by calling the boutique directly.

So the next time you're in the Charonne district, why not make a detour to Arc en Ciel!

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