Welcome to Clairefontaine

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

The Clairefontaine brand is best known for making the first school notebooks in France. The Clairefontaine mill has been making premium paper since 1858 and Clairefontaine is currently the only European company making its own paper for its own products. This guarantees not only consistent quality, but also controls the environmental impact of the manufacturing process. Located in the Vosges region of France, Clairefontaine was established on the site of a 16th century paper mill.

Clairefontaine paper is made from pulp and wood by-products from forests independently certified by PEFC as sustainably managed.

Clairefontaine notebooks and pads are characterized by a perfect satin finish for maximum smoothness in writing and the use of 90g pH neutral acid-free paper. This opaque paper allows clear writing on both sides of a page. Clairefontaine notebooks are available in ruled, ruled w/margin, graph, graph w/multi-subject, blank, and seyes (french ruled); staple bound, cloth bound, spiral bound, and hardcover formats. Clairefontaine notebooks are also available in a variety of convenient and stylish sizes.
