The most fantastic selection of old toys and kid's memorabilia, better than a museum. Is there every version of every action figure ever made? I've received gifts of a 1950s Peter Pan penknife and an original ET ring from here, so now some lucky friends get presents from the huge range.

A small market open Tuesday to Saturday in a beautiful hall at 39, rue de Bretagne in the 3rd arrondissement. People come here for lunch as much as for shopping. It is the oldest market in Paris and it takes its name from an orphanage, established in the sixteenth century, who collected the lost children and wore red. Especially the Japanese cookshop and the Cous-Cous are worth going there.

Boasting some 150,000 objects.

Delicious food, great selection of wines and great armosphere, the staff is really nice and welcoming, I love going there for a glass of wine, a few plates to share or a big meal, they make the most delicious leg of lamb

Delicious coffee and amazing staff
