The founder

Chantal Aveque


Chantal Aveque graduated in optics in 1988 and was trained by Jean-Pierre Bonnac at Lissac, a leading optical specialist.

Her know-how and technical skills, acquired alongside the most rigorous optical professionals over more than 20 years, is the guarantee of a serious and proven working method.

Also, in her personal life, Chantal likes to receive and be received. She has always had a particular taste for quality, service and elegance, fundamental values on which she has always relied in the store, in order to seduce and accompany her customers.


Know-how, quality and excellence.


In 2010, she decided to launch her own concept based on her obsessions: know-how, quality and excellence.

The CôtéVue adventure was born, with her first house on Rue du Bac, which she opened with her loyal collaborator, Benjamin Aubonnet.

A few years later, she decided to transform her Lissac store on rue de Passy into the second CôtéVue house.


Through this store, Chantal shares with you her passion for beautiful eyewear and the nobility of her beautiful profession by putting to good use her rigorous technical skills and her sensitivity to aesthetics and fashion.

It is with a smile, with her competent and dynamic team that you will be welcomed, listened to and well accompanied.
