Pic Nidouille is a select shop, aimed
at children, that just opened in November of 2007 in the
center of the Quartier latin on Rue des Écoles (Street of
Schools). You’ll be lured inside by the colorfully decorated
show window, and open the door without even thinking...
Here you’ll find clothing, stuffed animals, and room
decorations designed for babies and children one after
another, which goes well with the current baby boom. At Pic
Nidouille they're jam-packed with all kinds of ideas, and
they’ve got lots of original children’s items you won’t be
able to find anywhere else! The cute stuffed animal with the
retro design is called Doudou, and in France he’s a doll
that small children carry with them wherever they go. It’s
different from mechanically produced goods; the unique feel
of hand-made items is especially fun. The sticker style
chalkboards (the pig and rabbit styles are pictured), which
you can easily stick on the wall, are also very popular.
Unlike normal stickers, you can use chalk to write whatever
you'd like on these. |

You can also get some
old-fashioned posters for about 20 euros.
In addition they’ve gathered some things to help
make the daily chores of childcare more fun, like
bags for gathering bed covers, blankets, and pajamas
(or, really, whatever!) all made out of some lovely
fabric that will have you exclaiming, “Now this is
French!”
Currently, they mainly carry accessories and
decorative items, but they plan to carry more and
more clothing as time goes on. They’ve already got
the No Kidding brand, made by younger designers, in
stock, which has a design with a taste of rock and
roll that doesn't look like it's for kids at first.
Then there’s the store manager’s one area of
trouble: antique furniture. He has personally gone
to flea markets and the like to find a lot of
furniture for children, and then brought it back and
placed it in the store. Beds, cradles, writing desks
and chairs for kids… It’s really a shame that
there’s no way to bring these back to Japan with
you.
Just looking through the shop is fun, not just for
children's rooms, but even as a reference for
decorating your own room.
