You’ll also enjoy the atmosphere and decoration – have a look to the large painted ceiling – and French bistro food (large salads, charcuterie platter, rib steak, fish, ….).

In the 10th arrondissement, surrounded by schools (3 of them in the same street), Un Air de Famille is a true family cafe. 😉
Parents from the neighborhood get in to discuss about the last news in the school facing the street… And after school children from the schools nearby join there for a snack and some activities. A light-full café – with its large windows – delicious dishes for lunch, cakes for snack time – and a large room for some games and activities.
A nice finding 2 steps away from the Canal Saint Martin. At the beginning, there was Anouchka, a children’s clothes designer. And then there’s her mum, a children’s toys professional. Together they funded La Maison DoDu DinDon, a concept-store dedicated to children.
You’ll find there DoDu DinDon children’s clothes (of course), but also a pretty selection of other French and foreign designers (Bbamie Création, Boumaga, Barnabé aime le café, Pöm, Maxomorra) ; but also a lot of toys, some “classical” ones (Vilac, Janod…) and some exclusive ones, found in France or abroad. In a word, this is a great place to spoil your children ( and/or yourself 😉 )
La Maison DoDu DinDon : 3 rue Alexandre Parodi 75010 Paris Open Tuesday – Saturday 11am – 7pm Sunday 11am – 5pm

Even if this café is not specifically a « baby-friendly » place, it pleased us particularly by its tranquillity and its location…a pretty good address for a break while walking between la Concorde and les Champs-Elysées.
Petit Palais is the Art Museum of city of Paris. In a superb building, it hosts collections from Antiquity till begining of 20th century…and as (almost) all museums managed by the City of Paris, its entrance to permanent collections is free (entrance fees for temporary exhibitions and workshops).
Located in the heart of the building, the café Le Jardin du Petit Palais offers a large room soberly decorated. Its menu shows drinks, light meals and snacks all day long. And, depending on the weather, you’ll be able to enjoy a table in the garden. The café does not have high chairs (but there is room enough to install the stroller next to you). No baby changing facilities neither in the museum (only a « large table » with no changing mat in the Ladies restroom on floor 0…).
