Toy Stores in Paris

You can find toy stores all over Paris. As I look at them, I will add them to the list.

 

Toys that speak or sing in French

 

L'Epée de Bois

12 rue de l'épée de bois (5th arrondissement)

Telephone: 01 43 31 50 18

 

Near the metro Censier-Daubenton, the toy store on the little street, up the little steps, is a little treasure full of books, learning toys, fun things at a child's eye level. It's not the type of store that you walk in and do a quick eye sweep to check out the contents.


JouéClub

3/5 boulevard des Italiens (2nd arrondissement)

Telephone: 01 53 45 41 41

Metro: Richelieu/Drouot -- just in front of the station)

Open Monday to Saturday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.


La Grande Récré

 

One of my readers ran into a problem with credit cards. Here is the scoop:

At the the Place d'Italie location, the customer service counter does not take CB (short for Carte Bleu). All of the other counters take Visa and Mastercard.

 

Refer to your credit card as "Carte Bleu" (a generic term) not plastic.
