Yes yes Paris has a boat ton of souvenir stores in the city, but this is different. This is classy and not for your fanny pack wearing cheesy tourists. That is why I loved it. The items are unique and dont' scream "I WENT TO PARIS". I ended up getting a 'niece' a kids book that explains the sights of Paris and other cool stuff with both French and English. Perfect! She sells gourgeous pillows, aprons, kid stuff, you name it; but all with a unqiue and classy flair. Great spot for a gift !

After five hours in the Louvre we wandered out, bleary eyed, feet and backs hurting, and wandered…read moreinto a little shopping area. If I'm completely honest, I was a little annoyed the way I am when amusement parks have ride exits through the gift shop. It was actually alright since we still wanted to find some gifts to bring home to friends and family. After finding some goodies at Maxime's I meandered by Delfonics window. The weirdest thing happened as I pivoted on my heel and fell right inside the store. Must have been a weird gravitational well and that gravitational well is "Andie is a sucker for stationery shops". They had SO many goodies - great journals, stationery supplies, cool Japanese pens, and notepads. Basically it was a dream within a dream. My daughter is also afflicted with stationery store fever. Let's just safely say that we both found memorable items to take home and use daily which reminds of us the magical place that is Delfonics.

OMG. It doesn't get any better than a stationary shop like this. They had a huge variety of…read moreinteresting pens and coordinating inks, unusual shaped paper clips (Eiffel Tower, love letters) and other binding utensils, interesting stuff for graphic designer's, architects, and artsy types. Lots of fun folders for organizing all your papers. A line of colorful photo albums, washi tape, organizers, and Segrid wallets, which we discovered elsewhere and are forevermore devoted to as the world's best wallet. It's petite, but packed with beautiful stuff.

Despite the gluttony of toys on the market it's really hard to find toys that are not only…read moreengaging, fun and age-appropriate, but pleasant aesthetically as well. Just walk into any toy department and it feel like all your senses are under attack. From the garish colors and cheap materials to the god-awful sounds that these things emit, you wonder what evil spirit possessed the people who designed them. That's why places like Si Tu Veux should be classified as national living treasures because the survival of the human race depends on them! This oasis of kid calm is aptly located in the chic Passage Vivienne next to other classy shops. The selection here is pitch perfect. Every item seems to have been selected with careful thought and consideration by the owner, a lovely woman who will, if you ask, tell you what kind of toy would be most appropriate for your child given his or her age. With my little one in tow, she selected a few toys for him to try out and we all agreed on this amazing DNA-strand-like construct made out of colored wood and bouncy string that my baby immediately gobbled up and slathered his approval onto. Not only is it super to look at, it's also one of his favorite toys. And I've never seen it anywhere else so the owner must have chosen it from some obscure manufacturer (or at least that's what I told myself to justify its slightly elevated price).

This is a great toy shop and I recommend it to anyone in Paris with their children. We popped in…read morelooking for something for our daughter. It did not disapoint with an adorable magnetic writing tablet. Easy to slip into my purse and interests our child for hours. The clerk told us not for babies but our girl is very very petit and old enough for such a thing. They have waldorf animals as well and I wish I had purchased a fox there. Very cute! ps: It's tucked away in a small Galerie so it's very easy to miss. The Galerie is lovely!

This is a restaurant supply shop that houses endless, unique, white Limoges porcelain. It's…read moreridiculously inexpensive and the perfect place to find souvenirs and gifts. I've found Apilco there, which is also sold at Williams Sonoma. The shop keepers are aloof but respectful. They have three floors and there's so much to see. The top floor is kind of goofy with weird offerings. It's still fun to look. Some favorites I bring back are cow, elephant and other animal cream pitchers. They have adorable single cow creamers for €1. I have gotten several terrines there. One I didn't get, but was fantastic, was shaped like a turtle. They take credit cards and I always bring a super large bag because, occasionally, they'll only give me one bag, even though it seems I need two. Quirkiness but who cares? If you care about marks make sure you check the bottom of everything. Some are marked and others aren't. You'll be sad if you're a Francophile and miss this place. Close to the Catacombs. I prefer porcelain to bones.

If I could give a zero star rating I would!!! I have shopped this business for years. I have sent…read moremy customers, my friends, my coworkers, chefs, and restauranteurs to this business for incredible deals on factory seconds. In the past, I have only dealt with two women...an older woman and a younger woman who was there today. They have kindly individually wrapped up my boat-load of purchases. We have had nice conversations despite language issues. I haven't been in the shop since the COVID lockdowns in Paris. Today, I went with the intention to buy several items. First on my list where pizza dishes which I immediately found. Remember, everything in this store is a factory second which could mean bubbles in the glaze, rough edges, black marks in the white glaze...any consumer should carefully inspect the items whether they are purchased at a speciality shop or this store. The man storms down the aisle and starts yelling at me in French. He is mad because I am going through the dishes and I have stacked the unwanted dishes onto another stack of dishes. (Mind you this entire store is stacks of dishes inside and outside and on the floor and on the shelves!) I have worked retail almost my entire life and had every intention and have enough respect for the shopkeeper to replace the unwanted dishes back in the original stack. He yells in French that he wants me to stack the items on the floor and he moves the dishes onto the floor. I continue to look for the best pizza dish and place the unwanted dishes in his stack in the floor. Then, he aggressively rounds the corner and comes down the aisle again yelling loudly in English, "Are you going to buy one dish?!" I reply, "Yes." (Nonetheless, I had already selected several other types of dishes I had intended to buy.) He yells, "You have looked through ten dishes to buy one dish?!" (Yes because the glaze was horrible on these dishes.) Is this guy joking or is he mental? I am his only customer in the store! I replied, "Do you know how many years I have shopped here and how many customers I have sent to you?" I left everything and walked away. In English, the woman asks, "What is going on?" He then starts yelling at her in French. Without a response, she turns and walks away and starts sweeping near the register. I asked her, "Is that your husband?" She replies, "Yes." I know she recognized me. I responded, "I hope he treats you better than the way he treats your female customers." I left and I will never return. I worry about his abusive, cruel, and hostile behavior and how he treats his wife. I can say from the bottom of my heart I did nothing wrong. Pull the tapes from the many video cameras located in this store for proof. No one deserves to be treated the way this irrational man treated me. This man is in need of mental help. This seems to be "normal angry" behavior for this man. He needs professional help controlling his anger and whatever is going on in his life. I didn't deserve this and he really owed me an apology. If the two women continue to let him work in that store, the business will deservingly fail. I will never go back and I will never recommended this store to anyone!! I will pay full-price in the retail stores in Les Halles and get the service and respect that I deserve.

They have since said they've shipped it to me, but that was weeks ago, and they have not provided any tracking info. We'll see.

However, action wasn't taken until after I posted reviews, even after many emails, so I cannot give them a higher score than three stars.
