A shop that changes the codes
Espace Plaisir set up on rue du Fourbastard in early 2020, right in the heart of Toulouse. Here, forget the dim and slightly awkward vibe of the classic sex shop: this store bets on a bright, modern decor, almost like any other city center brand. That's actually what comes up most often in customer feedback, this feeling of pushing open a normal door rather than sneaking in discreetly.
The brand isn't new to this: the network's first shop opened in Lyon in 2016, and Toulouse is one of the addresses that followed.
What's on the shelves
The selection covers a lot of ground: sex toys for every use, lingerie, BDSM accessories to get started or go deeper, and a whole range of intimate wellness products (lube included). The idea isn't to target a niche crowd but to speak to any curious adult, whether they're regulars or pushing the door open for the first time.
The staff is described as attentive, able to guide without judgment and answer the slightly embarrassing questions people don't always dare ask. It's a point that comes up in the local Toulouse press, which is rather glowing about this renewal of the industry.
The connected concept
Espace Plaisir has developed an express pickup service: order online and grab your order in store in under an hour. Handy for anyone who wants to avoid waiting for a delivery at home, or who'd rather not leave a trace in their mailbox.
Another solid point, the 100 day trial period on purchases, which gives you time to test a product before really deciding. Students also get discounts on presentation of their card.
Hours and access
The shop is open Monday to Thursday from 10:30am to 7pm, and Fridays and Saturdays until 7:30pm. It's closed on Sundays.

What the regulars say
Online reviews mostly praise the welcome, described as warm and professional, far from the awkward clichés sometimes tied to this kind of business. The wide product range and the polished atmosphere come up often in comments, as does the express pickup service, appreciated by those who'd rather skip the wait.
