Loulou Addict (CLOSED)

Retro motifs, English flourishes, Japanese ornaments and bright colours abound in this boutique, which specialises in home décor and accessories for children (especially girls) and their mothers. This is the place to invest in a mini 2CV in lacquered wood by Vilac (€12.50), a crocheted doll by Anne-Claire Petit (€30-€55) or an irresistible American style lunchbox (from €13.50). For madame, perhaps a '70s maroon purse with large orange flowers by Blafre (€20) or an arty cushion by La Cerise (€55). Quality and charm are the order of the day in this shop, and during the holiday season, Loulou Addict is also an ideal spot for amateur interior designers to add a touch of Scandinavian chic (not the Ikea variety) to their Christmas decorations by way of a stuffed gremlin or wooden duck.
