The Nantes shop
It is in the intimate Copernic district, in the centre of Nantes, that the first franchise of the Belgian stationery company le typographe has naturally taken place. The shop is just a stone’s throw away from historical institutions such as the Graslin opera house, the amazing Natural History Museum and the atypical Dobré Museum, which will reopen its doors at the end of 2023.
To add to the charm, the shop windows look out onto the green setting of Louis Bureau Square. A predestined location for this quality stationery store to flourish.
Nantes has a taste for creation and likes to take a step aside. le typographe likes to shake things up with subtlety and fantasy under an apparent sobriety. A city and a brand that are made to get along.
Since its creation, le typographe knows how to make a difference and never stops exploring the beauty of stationery. It is a team of enthusiasts who ensure the quality of the collections, from creation to shelf display. It is also a team of passionate people who ensure the quality of the collections, from the creation to the shelving, as well as magnificent and quality tools: Heidelberg typographic machines and a rigorous selection of papers.
The collections are regularly renewed while keeping certain basics to meet the requirements of loyal customers. Time also stands still here.
This is the feeling that comes over you when you enter the little sister of the Brussels shop. The atmosphere of le typographe plunges the customer into the Belgian workshop, where the machines, papers, inks, etc., intoxicate the visitor with their beauty. The warmth of the wood and the colours are combined with the smell of the paper. “Everything is beautiful” is so often said by visitors. “It’s different”. The wall of cards, with its soft and vibrant colours, is an irresistible eye-catcher. Then the two central tables allow you to stroll through this atypical space. The floor even appeals to those who are sensitive to raw materials. The shop is lulled by soft music. “It’s relaxing”. How sweet it is to choose a notebook, a card… for oneself or to give as a gift. Because paper is a gift.
The paper range is completed by stationery accessories in line with the collections. Classic, unusual, surprising, these accessories are as original as they are beautiful, just like the collections that come out of the workshop.
A few delicately selected products complete the choice of stationery, soaps, candles, pretty objects gleaned according to the desires of the creator of the brand, Cédric Chauvelot.
Customised printing and personalisation of stationery items
The Nantes-based shop also offers the printing service developed in Brussels, for individuals and professionals. In the shop, designs and samples are available to customers. What a pleasure to imagine in situ, by sight and touch, what the announcement, the business card or any other medium to be developed will be!
The spectrum is wide. The brand’s stationery collections: notebooks, pads, cards and envelopes, can also be personalised to meet professional stationery needs.
In the city centre of Nantes, a stone’s throw from Place Graslin, the Copernic district offers an island of calm and quality shops. Away from the crowds, it is good to discover local traders who care about the quality of their products and service.
Place de la Monnaie, le typographe offers you a collection of quality stationery as well as a personalised printing service for individuals and professionals.

Questions you may have
The shop in Nantes
What are the deadlines for a custom order in Nantes or in Paris?
For an order to print cards or announcements, it takes about 3 weeks after the validation of the printing order.
When you come into the shop, we take all the details of your file: number of copies, format, paper, text to be printed, typography, printing colour, etc. All this information is then sent to the Brussels workshop. You will receive an e-mail with a print proof, sent in PDF format so that you can carefully check all the information entered. Once you have validated this proof, we start the production of the plate and then the letterpress printing. It is then necessary to allow time for drying, cutting and checking each card. When the project is finished, the file is sent to Nantes or Paris and you will receive a call to let you know that your cards are ready to be picked up in the shop. We can also send it directly to your address.
Stationery personalisation can take longer, depending on the item chosen, the number of copies to be made and the availability of paper from our suppliers. In general, however, it takes one to two months to produce personalised stationery items.
