Paris, France — One of the few things you can do in Paris and elsewhere after the 9pm curfew is to walk your dog, albeit briefly. The official French government website actually refers to pets in general, so perhaps cats and other home species can get into the act as well. The Gourmet Gazette takes a look at a new boutique of dog accessories that opened up in Paris recently, complementing the store’s online boutique.

Klep’s whose motto is I’m not a dog, I’m a Klep’s, opened up its boutique in the heart of Paris in the Les Halles neighborhood offering more of its original, practical and handsome products for dogs in a real setting in addition to its virtual world. Everything from organic food to collars, harnesses, beds and traveling articles, fun toys —we like the octopus —and more are all on the agenda. Klep’s carries over 500 different products made in France but also from Switzerland, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Finland and the United States.

There is also a Klep’s brand featuring a collar and leash and line of natural cosmetics and toys. The actual word cleps spelled with a c is colloquial French for dog.
