Maison Baylé, the temple of the Parisian dandy in the heart of the Marais

In the heart of the Marais district, in the rue de Turenne, Maison Baylé presents itself as the headquarters of the most stylish Parisian dandies.

Thus, at Maison Baylé, we discover ties, bow ties, scarves and other scarves as well as pocket squares, glasses, suspenders, umbrellas or all kinds of headgear (caps, hats, etc.).
