Very cute store, lots of neat little trinkets and toys…read more Wishing they had more locally crafted items though. If from the US and looking for something for the kids, while this store is full of toys-- it's mostly items that can be found (or are made) in the states. Melissa & Doug and brands of that nature. I was in a pinch needing something for my young boys and did find some pop guns and figurines (that tip over when touched and pop back) for a decent price and they seemed 'French' enough to satisfy me, and hopefully them. Cute store, shop owner was so sweet to us and lots of fun/easy/small things to stow in your luggage for the littles.

Although there were many toys one can find in the states, there were several gems as well, like charming and unique music boxes. What can be more French than a miniature carrousel that plays Ma Vie En Rose? We also found some wooden tops that were different from any we had seen before. The owner was very friendly as well and spoke English. There is also a small room in the back of the store where there are puppets galore.

They also sell a few pieces of jewelry and several accessories that you'll wish were big enough for your adult sized self.

St. Michel, my first mistake) and turn right at first block to Rue de St Andres des Art. It is NOT on the street itself (my 2nd mistake) but in passageway Couer de Commerce between #59 and 61. Once you enter, the shop is 10+ meters on your left. It is indeed tiny but a paper lover/writer's haven: journals, day timers, cards, pens & accessories, wooden bookmarks, postcards, wrapping paper et al. My favorite purchases included separate leather cases (holds one pen each) - I got three in red, blue and orange each - a sheave of wrapping paper in different designs and a wood bookmark. Many of the products are beautifully designed and handmade; the owner will tell you which country they are from or made in, The items I bought were from in Italy, India and France. Well worth the effort to find!

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).

Horrible. Never order from another country. Fraud…read more Pylones used to have shop in London, but not anymore. I saw their new collection and ordered many items for my friend's birthday and some of them were for Christmas presents. The total amount of my order with delivery was 122,80 pounds. I placed my order on the 26 of October. Until now - 6 of December I still haven't received anything. It takes a week with the Royal Mail to get anything from France. Pylones sent the parcel with Chronopost and when I tried to track the parcel it was stuck for days without explanation. I wrote to customer service and they replied that they are checking it with Chronopost. Later I wrote to them again because nothing was happening. They told me there is a problem with the label. I was texting again and again trying to find out when I can get the parcel. They said that Chronopost will send it back to them and they will resend it to me with a different courier. They couldn't and wound't send the same parcel to me instead, they are waiting for Chronopost to return it to them and apparently they have no influence over the delivery service they provide. On the 21 for November they texted saying that they will compensate the shipping costs to me, I've got no money from them still and no confirmation that such payment was made. The whole experience is a disgrace. I didn't get the parcel or the money. They keep promising to send it when they will get it back. I will never order from them again. They ruined beautiful surprises I prepared for my friend and I can't afford to spend the same amount of money twice.
