Because art is a profession Clairefontaine produces high quality papers to the most exacting standards.

As Clairefontaine has been making paper since 1858, it was only natural that the company should develop a complete range of Fine Arts papers.

Each art technique requires a specific paper and Clairefontaine has developed a tailor-made range to meet all requirements.

Paper is the first stage of any artist’s creation by nature of it texture, grain and composition. The artist must have confidence in his material in order to be able to express his ideas and bring his work to life. The selected art medium must also offer an archival guarantee.

Clairefontaine has placed Quality foremost in the development of its range.
