Rochard Paris Newspaper Kiosk Limoges Box

The Paris newspaper kiosk, a fixture on the city's boulevards, brings a slice of street life to this Rochard piece. It is a Rochard Limoges box, its little kiosk colored by hand in Limoges, France.

Morning Headlines on the Boulevard

For generations, Parisians have stopped at these kiosks for the morning paper, a magazine or a postcard on the way to work. Visitors love them too, as one of the details that makes Paris feel like Paris. Rochard captures the kiosk in porcelain, painting each one by hand so no two are exactly alike.

Souvenir of the City of Light

This makes a lovely keepsake from a trip to Paris, a present for a journalist or editor, or a thank you for a French teacher. It also suits a newspaper lover who still reads the morning edition in print. Set it on a bookshelf beside travel guides, on a desk near a framed map of Paris, or in a curio with other French landmarks. Paired with the Eiffel Tower pieces, it builds a little Parisian streetscape on the shelf.
