Fountain Pen Heaven...live@la Couronne Du Comte

Thanks for the report, I am a LCdC aficionado for several years, seems their online store is great, but since it in only 40 miles away I prefer to cross the border and visit the store.

I keep trying to make it to Tilburg and now you have inspired me to make the trip from Amsterdam....I know, it's only 1.5 hours away via car or train. I am guessing that the shop is easily accessible from the train station? Can always bring the bike on the train!

I will look into your questions

I too consider LCC a fountain pen paradise. They have class! The online service is outstanding and no minor details are overlooked. The beautiful gift wrapping adds a nice touch. Apart from pens there is also a great range of pen cases and inks. I spent a lot of time at LCC site choosing pen cases. Thank you, Morbus Curiositas, for your story!

Thanks for this. Another excuse for me to visit such a beautiful part of the world.

Peter, thank you for writing this up!

 

I wander into their store via Google Street View from time to time and hope to visit them someday. I wouldn't mind a St. Dupont myself - or a Ferry.
