The town of Etival Clairefontaine, originally established in 1512 in the Meurthe River valley in the Vosges area at the site of a paper mill. This area of France is known for paper production because of the abundant available resources.
Jean-Baptiste Bichelberger began his paper mill in 1858 in the small town of Etival Clairefontaine naming it after the town. The Clairefontaine paper company quickly became one of the most important factories in the region. In 1890 Clairefontaine started manufacturing notebooks.

I like the lined envelopes much better than the unlined. They’re more substantial and have a better feel.

Same Clairfontaine quality as always. I thought this was bound on the side, but it's bound on top. I need to pay closer attention. It doesn't really matter, though. It's nicely bound.

These are not staple bound as far as I can see. They are bound with adhesive, which is better. They tear off neatly and are just the thing for field notes when bird watching and for shopping lists. The graph paper allows for sketching and is a pleasure to use.

These are all I use for letter writing, and I can write really long ones. I prefer the plain paper as my writing style feels inhibited with the one with lines, but sometimes pen shops are out of the plain. Great paper, IMO.

I ordered four of these to use for various notes. One turned into my gym log, and it is the perfect size. Even better, it's the perfect strength! As a body builder, it holds up to being folded back, shoved in a gym bag, dripped with water, preworkout and such, weights dropped on it, and everything else you can imagine. I keep another for writing notes at church, a third for writing exercises, and I don't recall the fourth one, but I can assure you, they get put to good use. Well worth the money!

This is where it's at! Great, affordable paper. Even picks up sheen! No feathering, no bleed-through, decent dry-time (yes, sheen looks best on Tomoe River, which is why it's my usual favorite, but that costs more and you'll wait forever for inks to dry). This is a great balance of practicality and making your inks look good. If you're debating between this and Field Notes, avoid the Field Notes and get the Clairefontaine instead. You'll thank yourself later.

These envelopes are very good; they are fountain pen friendly and affordable. The only reason for the 4 rating on functionality is the inside fold sometimes catches the paper when inserting. It's a very minor inconvenience.

I bought a few notebooks to get me over the line to free shipping. I am pleased with these little notebooks. I have designated one as my pen collection journal. I try to keep an inventory and notes on the pens. This is a perfect fit for my desk. was randomly given a dark grey and an orange.

My favorite fountain pen friendly notebook. The spirals make it easy to fold the cover back, and the wider ruling is great for broad and stub nibs. Excellent value, too.

This is the smoothest paper I've ever felt. Smoother than tomoe river paper in my opinion. The only issue I have is that the glue along the top is not strong enough to hold the cover when folded back on the provided creases.
