Located in the Vosges region of France , Clairefontaine was established on the site of a 16th century paper mill. The Clairefontaine mill has been making paper since 1858 and stationery products since 1890. The company is best known for making the first school notebooks in France .

Clairefontaine is famous for its exceptionally white and ultra smooth vellum paper.

Their reputation rests on the brushed vellum paper manufactured by Clairefontaine for the last 50 years on continually perfected machinery. The paper weighs 90 grams per square meter, and has excellent opacity and a prefect satin finish for maximum smoothness in writing. The paper, white enough for the writing to be clear, is also anti-glare.

Their notebooks are manufactured to the highest standards:

• Each book is bound with pages perfectly aligned
• Covers are plastic-coated in pure cellulose, giving greater protection against wear & tear
• Cloth binding is sewn with linen thread; staples are extra strong; double wire spiral binding will never snag
• Sheets are micro perforated for clean removal
• Stiff back cover makes writing easy.

People love Clairefontaine notebooks for the quality of the paper, and the pleasure of writing they experience when they use them.

Clairefontaine 1858

Clairefontaine is currently the only manufacturer making its own paper for its own products. This guarantees not only consistent product quality, but also controls the environmental impact of the manufacturing process.

Clairefontaine only buys pulp from sustainable forests that are certified according to recognized international standards (PEFC, FSC, etc.) These certifications also ensure that endangered wildlife habitat is protected, worker health and safety laws are kept, and the rights of indigenous communities are respected.

The River Meurthe is the source of water supply for their Vosges mill. The water is so clean when it leaves our facility; local people can fish, swim and boat downstream within sight of the mill
