Paris Christmas ornaments?
Since I didn't think to do it while we were there last spring, I would like to purchase Christmas ornaments reminiscent of Paris for my children, but I'm running into dead ends for sources. Does anyone have any suggestions? <BR> <BR>Many thanks!

For ornaments that feature the Eiffel Tower and Santa, go to www.babiole.com. They have a stocking too.

Hi Harriet, <BR> <BR>I know ! I'm kicking myself for not purchasing Paris ornaments! We just ran out of time. <BR>I have a Mona Lisa magnet that I purchased at the Louvre and I will tape (tacky huh?) a string to it and hang it on the tree. I was thinking like suggested above to purchase an Eiffel Tower or an Arc D Triomphe and make it into an ornament. <BR> <BR>Only if you don't mind please Email me if you find a good place. <BR> <BR>Happy trimming and have a good Christmas.

Dan -- Thanks so much for the reference for Babiole -- She has exactly what I was looking for, and it's a fun site besides -- and generally better quality souvenirs than much of what I saw in shops while we were there! <BR> <BR>I knew someone on this site would have the answer! Joyeaux Noel!

One more suggestion. Landmark Creations at www.Landmark-Creations.com has beautiful hand blown ornaments featuring landmarks (duh) and children from around the world. Some of the ornaments are listed as sold out for this year, but they will be available again. Their ornaments are also available at finer stores and museums. They will give you listings of the stores nearby your home. They also have a neat little catalogue, and can do custom orders.

An update on my search for Paris ornaments: The ones I received from Babiole are beautiful quality,and they arrived in less than 10 days with no shipping charges. This is a fun website for anyone looking for nice Paris souvenirs -- often better quality than what I saw in shops in the city!

We will be in Paris at the end of October and I'm hoping there's a store that sells Christmas ornaments because I'd like to bring a few back as gifts. Would Paris by any chance have a Christmas store? If not, would any stores have them at that time of the year? We are staying in the 6th arrondisment.<BR><BR>Barbara

My favorite souvenir shop sells a few Christmas ornaments year-round, Maison de Paris.
