Customer Review:
One reviewer says: "What a special place. The proprietor is so well-versed in Laguiole knives, for kitchen and all other uses. He is also very conscientious about to whom he sells, and told us the local police check in with him regularly. We have visited this shop the past 3 years (and purchased there) and it is a regular stop for us in Paris. His prices are reasonable, his selection excellent - it's just a fascinating and fun shop."
One reviewer says: "Great shopkeeper. Nice selection of the best Laguiole knives. I bought a Laguiole corkscrew here that is so beautiful to hold and look at."
One reviewer says: "A beautiful selection of top quality French knives and wine keys."
The former Renaud armory, which has existed since 1910 and is well known in Paris, has regained its former glory, its 1970s atmosphere, and all its charm thanks to the discreet and warm lighting. The cutlery is based on artisanal know-how while maintaining its rustic and comfortable atmosphere. Knives from Laguiole en Aubrac or Thiers take pride of place but not only: there is always a wide choice dedicated to old and new customers for the art of shaving, scissors, kitchen knives. The manicure also has its display, as do very specific multi-function tools such as the Leatherman or Victorinox brands.
Sharpening is also effective thanks to the many specialized craftsmen in France with whom we work and who will pamper old scissors, knives, pruning shears, and other cutting tools.

One reviewer says: "Staff was very friendly and helpful, spent more time talking to them about France and my country Canada. Purchased a knife for hunting/keepsake of Paris trip. The only issue I had with the store is that their selection is overwhelming, so many knives to choose from. Will definitely go back to buy another knife. Very happy with my choice."
One reviewer says: "I went there to sharpen 3 pocket knives. One of them, a gift from my father that was more than rust, the tip broken... They did a fabulous job. And they were very pleasant from start to finish."
One reviewer says: "Magnificent shop for lovers of good knives and cutlery. In addition, the service is excellent."
Descended from an old noble family of Vendée, ruined by the French Revolution, Eugene de Hillerin brought his family name into the world of hardware and trade in Paris. A visionary with a strong character, this great worker laid the first foundations of the brand in the Halles district where he lived and knew everyone. In 1890, the hardware store moved to rue Coquillière and adopted the facade it still has today, with its abundance of diverse utensils.
Specializing in the supply and sale of kitchen equipment, the brand's motto is "Modest assistance in the promotion of French cuisine." In fact, all food industry professionals, restaurateurs, pastry chefs, pork butchers, and caterers come here to find the quality utensils essential to their craft. At Dehillerin, they are even happy to supply them in all sizes.

Customer Review:
One reviewer says: "This is a very, very dangerous place to visit for serious cooks. There is just SO much fabulous stuff in this shop. You go to buy a small knife and leave with bags full of new things you didn't know you needed or that even existed. Some things can seem very expensive, BUT they will be of the highest quality and last forever with some care. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and kind (and patient). Leave room in your suitcase!"
One reviewer says: "We were there a few days ago and purchased a roasting pan, a Mauviel saucepan, and some other items. The salesman, Guy, was very helpful and knowledgeable. We would like to thank him for his assistance. This is an incredible store with very knowledgeable professionals. Highly recommended to all food lovers!"
One reviewer says: "The staff is very kind and provides thorough explanations about their products, which they know very well and have professional expertise in. The place itself looks like a museum, 200 years old. You should visit this place if you need to shop for your kitchen but also as a cultural experience."

One reviewer says: "Amazing shop, the people are passionate and very helpful. They like to share their knowledge of the products they sell and more. They give great advice and will tell you if something isn’t suitable for your use. I bought a knife and some accessories. Overall, it was a great experience and I am more than satisfied with the product I bought."
One reviewer says: "Brilliant knives. We bought a chef's knife from the Tokyo store and regretted not buying more at the time! The Paris shop is smaller but just as professional and friendly. We had excellent service and advice, couldn’t have been more helpful! Highly recommend."
One reviewer says: "The shop is full of charm with a wide selection of knives. I came for a gift and, knowing nothing about Japanese knives, I was wonderfully welcomed and advised by the seller. I was given all the details with great kindness, without any sales pressure and respecting my budget. I recommend it 1000%."
