Ecoresponsibility means being responsible.
We studied, compared, assembled, took apart, tested and re-tested to retain only the best: FSC certified paper and a controlled carbon footprint.
All those little details that together make your Papier fait de la Résistance notebook your best every-day ally. Our notebooks are proof that excellent quality is possible with minimum mileage.
Like we said, ecoresponsibility means being responsible. It’s on us to pay a fair price to all the partners who helped us get this notebook into your hands.
From raw materials, like paper and Toile du Marais fabric, to (French and proud of it) printing, embossing, transportation, and let’s not forget: design (us! ?), everyone should be happy. We do just that – for the same price as fellow notebook makers (how classy is that?).
Prioritise production in France – or not très far
Making ‘Made in France’ – or nearby – a priority. In 2021, Le Papier fait de la Résistance turned a new page. From design to manufacturing, our new product lines are 100% produced in France.
Designed to the finest detail by our team in the Montparnasse district of Paris, our notebooks are crafted and printed in Châteauroux by a team dedicated to bookbinding.
That’s right: less than 280 km from idea to finished product!
Our Lyonnais notebooks are made in Spain by a Barcelona-based manufacturer we selected for their solid savoir-faire and excellent reputation in the city where the graphic arts industry began in Europe.
En 2021, le Papier fait de la Résistance se réinvente. Pour nos nouvelles gammes, de la conception à la fabrication, toutes les étapes de production sont réalisées en France.
Imaginés avec force détails par notre équipe installée dans le quartier Montparnasse à Paris, nos carnets sont façonnés et imprimés à Châteauroux par une équipe passionnée de reliure.
Ainsi ce sont moins de 280 km qui séparent la conception de la fabrication de nos carnets !
Nous avons donc étudié, comparé, monté, démonté, testé, retesté, pour finalement ne garder que le meilleur, cette somme de petits détails qui feront de votre carnet du « Papier fait de la Résistance » votre meilleur allié du quotidien. Nos carnets sont la preuve vivante qu’il est possible de vous offrir une très grande qualité avec un minimum de km parcourus.
Voici où et comment est fabriquée la collection Toile du Marais.
You may have noticed that the elastic on our notebooks is horizontal, not vertical. It’s a detail for right-handers, but a big deal to lefties, who can open their notebook however they like.
And everyone can use the elastic to hook their pen – you know, the one you’re always losing.
What can we say? When we help you with your day-to-day, we like to do it in detail.
In 2021, the Papier team evolved following the acquisition of the company by Éditions Leduc, but our love for everything paper holds steady!
Serial publisher and papermaker
Pierre-Benoît has two passions in life: paper, and puns. Raised in a world of paper, envelopes and cards, Pierre-Benoît never got board. His family ran the stationery shop in Crouzet from 1623 until 1991, when the business faltered and they called it a wrap. It was hard to turn the page after all those years of industrial résistance. So taking a page from his family’s book, he decided to write a new one. In addition to Le Papier fait de la Résistance, he is Associate Director of Éditions Leduc, Éditions Charleston and Éditions Alisio.

Often, a dozen ideas come to Karine at once, so she jots them down in her notebook to give her brain a rest. In addition to Le Papier fait de la Résistance, she is Associate Director of Éditions Leduc, Éditions Charleston and Éditions Alisio.
