Where to buy Christmas ornaments in Paris?
 

My husband and I bring home a Christmas ornament from each place we travel.It's a nice little way to revisit each place in our minds as we put them on the tree. We are going to be in Paris next week and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find some? We are staying in the 4th arrondissment if that helps at all...
Thanks!

The obvious place for a lot of household stuff is BHV opposite the Hotel de Ville, but Christmas ornaments may not be available at this time of year.

On another site, Beatchick recommended this souvenir shop as selling Christmas ornaments:

My hubby and I does the same thing, tree trimming is one of our favorite soirée, we have a buffet and invite a bunch of friends, we all talk about our travels and discovery and it make a great evening.

If you fail to find anything you like in Paris here is what I did. Buy half a dozen cheap Tour Eiffel,(on Rue de Rivoli par exemple) once home have a jeweller dip them in silver, tie a nice red silk ribbon on top of each and voilà, instant French style for your tree.

Paris is so fabulous we were there last December and we are going back in May. Bon voyage.

Thanks for the help. We have had good luck everywhere we've been so far,it seems most places have some ornaments year-round. I will look at the store Beatchick recommended, thanks for the suggestion! Can't wait to go, this will be our first trip there!

My wife found some christmas ornaments in the gift shops in the Eiffel Tower a couple years ago in August.

We got adorable ornaments in one of the Eiffel Tower gift shops. Note that not every one of their gift shops has identical merchandise.

Missy...was this recently? And what kind of ornament did you find? By that I mean is it a glass ball with the Eiffel Tower painted on it, or an actual replica of the tower?

We got several adorable ornaments that incorporated the "main attractions" like the Arc, Tour, etc. at a CDG airport shop. This was in February, however, so I don't know if they were remnants from Xmas or if they have them all the time.

Gee PatrickLondon, I saw your previous reply of "the most obvious place being BHV"...the hardware/household store. I guess if heymo wants to make it herself! ;-)

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Home Store at Galleries Lafayette or even Printemps. I'm sure you'll have lots of success there heymo!

P.S. Not dorky at all!

Disneyland Paris has a store that sells Christmas stuff all year long, but I don't know how much of it is specific to Paris or France.
