Clairefontaine’s French-ruled (or Seyes-ruled) paper was originally used to teach handwriting in the French school system, but is beloved by writing enthusiasts for its versatile combination of grid and lines. Clairefontaine paper is quite ink friendly, and should handle even your wettest fountain pen nibs.

In addition to notebooks, Clairefontaine offers this unique paper in additional formats, including A5 and A4 Looseleaf Sheets, as well as A4 “double-sheet” booklets. The looseleaf paper is perforated for use in binders, whereas the double-sheets are not. Looseleaf paper is sold in packs of 50, 100, and 200 sheets.
