Our story

The story of PAUL MARIUS is a unique story that deserves to be told.

Both to understand its origin, to tame its secrets and to inspire the bold, who, like Florent Poirier, dream of freedom.

Before it became the story of our employees and customers, it was first and foremost the atypical story of a young self-taught man who was not destined to live this crazy entrepreneurial adventure…

The inspiration comes from a childhood surrounded by old collectibles carefully sourced by a father who was an antique dealer and who travelled the roads of Normandy, a land of vestiges of the past embodied by its landing beaches, its ancestral cathedrals and its famous conquerors.

From a very young age, Florent readily traded the rigor of studies for the independence instilled by an innate sense of business.

He obtained his vocational baccalaureate in pet shop sales, then began a self-taught career in the real estate and ready-to-wear sectors…

In 2010, instinct drove him to satisfy this persistent need to express his creativity through a resolutely free and audacious project.
