Help With Clairefontaine Paper!


lamylamylamy

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone-

 

I've been looking everywhere for a decently priced notepad that's similar to the ones I always used in France. (Currently in DC)

 

When I was there my everyday paper was the Clairefontaine french-ruled, perforated tear-out page **paper pad, no spiral bound**

 

Is there a way to find these in stores in the US? Online without spending an arm and a leg?

 

I found a similar notepad by Rhodia, but can only find it in packs of 3. It may be silly, but I'm just looking to get one!

 

 

Any suggestions would be awesome!

Thank you!

You've done well. I've only been able to find French ruled in spiral bound at Goulet Pens.

Where did you find the pads?

Are you looking for this ?

you can find them on Amazon.fr but I think the shipping cost is ... expensive ...

(I think that Rhodia blocs are quite of the same quality, as far I could test ...)

One pen roll, two pen rolls, three pen rolls ... So many pen rolls ! Do you want one ?

my tiny shop is open and you can have a closer look on my website to see my cotton (and sometimes silk) OOAK penrolls.

I've searched myself and followed every link given here. None of them are for perforated tear out pads of French ruled paper that LamyLamyLamy is looking for.

I guess you have to go to France to get it. Might be worth a trip.

Nothing better than Paris, a bottle of Champagne and a hot blonde.

What do you call "French ruled" paper, then ?

 

What we use in France is in fact called "Séyès" and that's what I showed.

The dimensions of tear out pads are 21 x 32, I tried on amazon.com but I could not find them ...

 

I think you can find many templates on the web using the keyword "Séyès", then ...

Check out -http://www.shopwritersbloc.com/ as they have a reasonable range of "french rule" paper including individual sheets at good prices (imo). Have heard good things about them and like that they are not one of "the big dealers"!

 

I like using the French rule paper for calligraphy practice as well notebook stuff.

 

Best results...

If it's in the international catalogue, Goulet can order in batches. I send them an email saying what I want and they quote me a price. Generally blocks of 10-20. Shopwritersbloc is my alternate.

Thanks Ghost. I didn't think Goulet would offer that service. Good to know.

My opinion of Goulet Pens just keeps rising.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
