Gault and Carlton ceramic houses of Paris
I have a row of Provence buildings, but would like to purchase some of Paris when I'm there this spring. Does anyone know where I could purchase them? I found a website where I can buy them, but I prefer buying them in Paris for the memory.

Last time I was in Paris (5yrs), I saw them in 2 shops on rue de Rivoli, in the area where the corner of the Lourve meets the Tuilleries. No recollection if the prices were competative, but they are just darling! I have always regretted not buying a couple. A perfect reason to return to Paris, LOL!!!! Good luck!

Hi luvtotravel,
I was in Paris this past December and bought two( wish I had bought more!) J Carlton houses. I can't afford the 600+ euro Gault, and the Carltons are great souvenirs. I got them at a shop on rue de Rivoli almost directly across the street from the Tuileries metro. It was a small shop and I can't find the receipt with the name. But along that stretch of rue de Rivoli, there are several shops that carry J Carlton
houses.
Have a great trip!

Thanks all. It's the rue de Rivoli for me! I didn't buy the ones I saw in San Gimignano last year and still regret not picking up a few. I, too, need to buy Carlton as the Gault houses are too high priced for me - -mostly because of the dollar exchange.

you can also get them in many of the souvenir shops near Notre Dame. I have bought them there and in numerous different shops on Rue Rivoli.
Last summer when I got home from Paris I received an email advertisement from Planet Gault (I'm on their mailing list due to previous purchases). I checked their prices and the memory I now have of buying in Paris in 2006 is that I spent more money in Paris than I would have if I had just ordered them online! (But it was more fun buying them in Paris )
When buying in Paris, just be sure that they say J. Carlton/ Dominique Gault on the bottom - there are some copies out there - not as detailed or pretty. The copies don't say anything on the bottom of the house.
