What a pleasure it is to enter the world of Mostly French! Helen, the proprietor, is very knowledgeable and quite hospitable -- no doubt due to her annual shopping treks to France and her love of all things French. Duffy's awesome sense of humor adds to the joy of entering their lovely store. From fabulous period furniture to scented candles, from lovely pieces of art to silver knife rests, from gorgeous area rugs to shiny copper tea kettles, this store is a rare gem in downtown Chattanooga. As they say in France, "C'est magnifique!" Check it out soon; you'll be glad you did!
