Beautify your Kitchen à la française because "Paris is Always a Good Idea"!
Bring a touch of Paris, la Ville lumière, to your kitchen with the addition of any number of Paris-themed French kitchen / tea towels available from Au Bon Goût Boutique, otherwise known as ‘torchons’. These torchons will immediately transform your kitchen from an otherwise ordinary décor to a French ‘cuisine’ – bringing Paris directly into your kitchen. Available in a plethora of colors, textures, and patterns, all you need to do is to make your selection based on your taste and preferences.
French Kitchen / tea towels are a kitchen staple serving a myriad of purposes. A quick wipe of hands after a wash, handling something hot on the stove, drying dishes, or wiping off some spills on the kitchen counter are a few uses of a ‘torchon’ - the French kitchen tea towel - out of many. They are environmentally friendly and can be washed and used multiple times, always emerging as good as new.
Here are a few Paris-themed kitchen / tea towels from various French manufacturers that we especially liked if you’re looking to transform your kitchen à la française
Beauvillé Kitchen / Tea Towels 
Beauvillé, Les Toits de Paris Beauvillé, Les fleurs de Paris
Beauvillé table linens and tea towels are considered by many to be true works of art. All are made 100% in France in Ribeauvillé, the Alsace region of France, using a sophisticated silk-screening process of up to twenty different colors. Beauville tea towels are made using 82% cotton and 18% linen to yield a higher quality output, bright colors, and long-lasting prints.
Both have several iconic designs of Paris –as seen from the towel, Les Toits de Paris (above) available in both blue and red showing Parisian rooftops and the Eiffel Tower looming in the distance in crisp detail. The addition of a small cat scaling the rooftops adds a bit of interest; and Paris Fleurs, again the image of the Eiffel Tower, only this time, in springtime when pink magnolias bloom. The vibrant hues are ideal for summer, reviving images of the classic phrase, April in Paris.
Garnier-Thiebaut Kitchen / Tea Towels

Garnier-Thiebaut, Eiffel Tower Vintage
Garnier-Thiebaut, Bistrot Jaune

This series is available in blue canard, celadon, pink/rose, and tomette - tile red. These jacquard dish towels are 100% made in France, machine washable and 100% damask cotton.

Lastly, the contemporary Bistrot Jaune design by Garnier-Thiebaut in yellow captures woven images we have come to associate with Paris: Notre Dame de Paris, a Parisian bistro chair, an afternoon espresso, a wine glass. Below these symbols, are the letters spelling “Paris” in a checkerboard motif.
Garnier-Thiebaut’s Louvre Museum Series
For those who associate world class museums with Paris, then consider Garnier-Thiebaut’s special Louvre Museum series showing 3 of the world’s most famous masterpieces we associate with The Louvre: the marble Venus de Milo Greek sculpture by Alexandros with her iconic missing arms; the magnificent Victory of Samothrace sculpture dating back to the 2nd century BC representing the goddess Nike, goddess of Victory, with arms and headpiece missing; and of course, La Jaconde – the Mona Lisa painted by da Vinci.
