The Artisan of the Gaze: the haven for lovers of beautiful glasses

This is one of the oldest optical stores in Paris. Since 1942, 35 rue des Martyrs has been a haven for lovers of beautiful glasses. Therefore, it was only natural that Grégory, an optician and enthusiast, took over the store 15 years ago to create the Artisan du Regard. At the entrance, the boutique's mascot awaits you, eagerly awaiting a little pat. Socrate, Grégory's little French bulldog, has been here for 13 years. Here, there is no question of leaving you to your own devices. The opticians will comfortably seat you and guide you in finding the perfect pair of glasses. For an hour, we discuss your preferences and desires until we narrow down the selection of glasses that truly represent you. It's a moment of pleasure and sharing that sets us apart.
