Clairefontaine

Clairefontaine is a French name that refers to two notable subjects. Clairefontaine-en-Yvelines is a commune in the Yvelines department in the Île-de-France region of north-central France. It lies to the west of Paris and is part of the rural landscape surrounding the capital.

Clairefontaine is also a well-known brand of paper and stationery produced by the Exacompta-Clairefontaine group. The brand is noted for papers with a smooth surface and bright white color, properties favored by writers and artists who use fountain pens. Its product range includes notebooks, pads, drawing papers, and related accessories, distributed internationally through office supply chains and art retailers.

Together, the name Clairefontaine reflects a tradition of French manufacturing in both local governance and paper production.
