We recently spent the afternoon shopping for the little tiger - and one of my favorite shops for kids in Paris is Bonton. They are divided on three floors and have tons of funky stuff for babies (0- 12 yrs old) up to pre-teens: clothes, accessories, food, homewares, books, suitcases, furniture, decor items etc...

The Oberkampf neighbourhood of Paris has no shortage of places to chill and enjoy a good burger at the same time. Case in point; La Royale. That's a few meters away from Blend Hamburger and the Merci Cafe. I've been there a few times for lunch with my son. Inside I enjoyed their old Parisian bistro style decor. Outside, drinks on their large terrace looking out to Filles du Calvaire is one of our favorite friday afternoon activities. They also offer Brunch on Sundays. Today I'd like to rev[...]
