I would also suggest as a sweet treat getting a couple of the Eiffel Tower suckers (lollipops). My daughter got some to give her friends. They are rather oversized & pretty. You could try looking for some "Petit Prince" or "TinTin" items. These as well as "Babar" are favorites of French children. There are also lots of t-shirts & inexpensive souvenirs near the Eiffel Tower & other tourist places.<BR><BR>Good luck!

Don't know if they are into them at all, but my 10 year old boy went nuts when I brought him Italian Pokemon Cards. Found several different decks of cards throughout Italy, only slightly more expensive that here in the US. He was the envy of every kid in the neighborhood.

Asterisk and Oblelisk comic books. My husband remembered them from a french teacher in grade school. It is two french mid eval war buddies who always conquer the huns at the end, and celebrate with a big pig bar-b-que. It is a mix of Tom and Jerry, and Hagar the Horrible. They are popular in France, and can be purchased at newstands, for $7 each. They are hard cover.

I was in Paris about a month ago and was having a hard time finding something for my 10 year old son. In the gift shop at Ste. Chapelle I found some wonderful knights and horses, even a catapult. I got him 2 knights and horses so they can "challenge" each other - and the catapult is great fun. And they say "Made in France"!
