Can you buy the plaque 'I'd rather be in Paris'... in Paris?

I have the 'I'd rather be in Paris' pillow but I saw a unique wooden plaque online and didn't grab it and now I can't find another one like it. (I saw some on Ebay and Etsy but they're not what I'm looking for). So I was just wondering if they actually sell souveniers like that in Paris and if anyone has seen any. I wasn't looking for that sort of thing when I was there.

Thanks!

If I were to look, I'd go to Rue de Rivoli, near the Louvre. Lots of tourist shops there. I've also bought some small Eiffel tower souvenirs around Place St Michel.

There are many souvenir shops on the other side of the island, on the quays in front of Notre Dame, also. they tend to all have the same things, mostly. Who knows, that sort of sounds like a phrase that would only come from Americans (whatever the origin in), so I wouldn't count on finding that in Paris (where souvenirs are from China, I imagine), but you never know. I don't remember ever seeing that, but wasn't looking for it so may not remember.

Is this similar to what you're looking for?

No, Parisecret, it had the word Paris carved out in wood.
