Children's wear shopping in Paris

Looking back over all my photos, I realise I never posted as intended about rue Vavin in the 6th arrondissement.

Rue Vavin can be found adjacent to the Jardin du Luxembourg.  The street is a mecca for shoppers of children's wear.  Many well known French children's wear brands can be found in this single street.

Unlike the craft shopping itinerary I posted, this children's wear list can be covered in one short stroll.  Within walking distance is the flagship Bonpoint store I posted about previously.  I would suggest including this in the same outing - and you can enjoy a stroll through the beautiful Jardin du Luxembourg on the way to rue Vavin.

Then you can ponder, like I did, about who lives or once lived here inside the perimeter of the garden:

Oh imagine living in that gorgeous house. How incredible would the shopping be in those streets, ahhhh. I went a little nuts in Italy in July on my 4, nicely timed with the sales (saldi). Love Posie

I was lucky enough to have received this fantastic tip from Kris before I left for my trip to Paris two months ago. The shops mentioned are beautiful and I purchased quite a few stunning outfits for my two daughters and younger son. There is a great cafe on the corner of that street called Cafe Vavin which I sat at the bar every morning and had coffee and croissant and improved my French by the day. The waiters will only converse in French with you but they are very warm and charming. Worth a visit.....

oh my, that is my idea of heaven! I would so not be allowed to walk down that street with my wallet - I'd have to do a secret mission! I'd go a bit crazy!

I do love paris! my parents are going in december and we're all asking to go in their luggage - surely they wouldn't notice 4 small children :)
