Just a stone's throw from Place des Vosges, at 16 Rue de Birague (Paris 4th), there’s a small shop that truly wears its name well. Par Hasard is part of the discreet Marais addresses where you step in out of curiosity and end up enjoying a good rummage. Here, there are no garish colors or objects screaming for attention: the décor aims for elegance, with a playful touch to keep things from feeling too formal.
Wood, glass, metal, velvet… materials blend in a curated selection of objects with charm, ranging from classically refined to pleasantly unexpected. This isn’t the run-of-the-mill decorative gear: at Par Hasard, it’s the refined finishes, the sculpted shapes, and the little discoveries that catch the eye. Perfect for snagging a gift-worthy piece or that missing item to dress up a shelf or a corner of the home.
And as Christmas draws near, Par Hasard also knows how to make the small things shine in the big moments. Embroidered hearts and stars, delicate ex-votos, pearl-beaded mistletoe branches, or painted glass baubles: the décorations de fête lean into refinement, with details that you’ll love admiring up close.
An address to keep in the back of your mind, for the holidays as for the rest of the year. Whether you’re after a pretty pendant, a gift that stands out from the ordinary, or simply a fresh idea for decor, Par Hasard proves that sometimes it doesn’t take much to make a subtle impression.
