Caressed by the petals since his early childhood, Luc Deschamps hardly has too erratic a vision of the existential. This son of florists has taken up a very enviable torch: the attractive floral boutique at 18 Avenue Niel in Paris' 17th arrondissement named 'Deschamps', one of the most Instragrammable spots in the city which hosts numerous flower shops that you'll, definitely, love.
His is a name that resonates with floral elegance and magnificence and has become synonymous with Parisian beauty. His artistry blooms across the city, gracing storefronts, hotels, restaurants, and bouquets, all alike.

Elaborate Floral Installations and Decorated Storefronts
Luc Deschamps is known for flowering the capital, whether he expresses that through decorated storefronts and facades of hotels and restaurants throughout the city, elaborate floral installations in reception halls and shopping centers, or the beautiful bouquets you can purchase from his shop in Paris' 17th arrondissement.
It is to Luc Deschamps that we owe in particular the floral facade of La Maison Sauvage in 2019, the bucolic facades of the Bistrot Bohème, the Brasserie Le Brebantor, and more recently the breathtaking floral makeover of the Buddha Bar.

But his store in the heart of Paris, Deschamps, is the place where many Parisians and tourists from all over the world flock, to buy one of his beautiful floral arrangements but also to be charmed and captivated by a storefront flooded with multicolored flowers similar to a Garden of Eden.
The store is always sure to attract the gaze of passersby, floral art enthusiasts, Instagrammers, and travelers in search of a splendid natural backdrop for their photo shoots.
Equally Care About Content and Container
According to the floral designer, the 'Deschamps style' is an essential one, based on equally caring about the content and the container; the latter should be as impressive and unexpected as the former.
Luc crosses Europe to unearth vessels and vases that fit his oversized floral ambitions, which sometimes need to be capable of accommodating as many as several hundred hydrangea stems.
Architect of Emotion
Having become an architect of emotion, delicacy, and splendor, he imagines sketches, draws, and composes, without ever delegating.
