La Maison Bleue, was founded in May 2005 by Jennie Ayres, a self-confessed Francophile! Having been inspired by the quality of French life since visiting France and living with a French family as a child. In August 2015 the shop was taken over by Julie Smelt who has always had a passion for interior design and home accessories a chance meeting with Jennie at a charity coffee morning and the rest is history! Despite the proximity of our French neighbour, it is still difficult to find authentic French interior design products in the UK and much time and effort has been made to seek out quality products, many traditionally handcrafted, that have been chosen to inspire you and your friends with a passion for French style.
