I wanted some lights for the boys’ room so I stopped by La Case de Cousin Paul in Montmartre to pick up a few strands. (They have a few shops in France.) You can choose from about a zillion colors depending on what you need. It costs about 22 Euros for a strand of 20 balls including the lights. They make the boys’ room look so cheery and Moses loved picking them out. Of course these would be adorable for a party.

I was just in that store two weeks ago on my trip to Paris. If I would have had a spare inch in my suitcase, I might have come home with a whole bunch!

This store looks amazing – so cheery and colorful. I somehow missed this during my trip to Paris a couple of summers ago. I’ll have to check out the website & maybe order some! Thanks for filling us in!

They still sell them at Kinokuniya in J-Town, SF. Price varies whether you are willing to pop the balls open with a chopstick or not, but less than $20 either way.

Can’t believe this! I bought so many strands of these lights in Bangkok 2 years ago, whoever brought that idea to Europe was very clever, especially to have your own customized strand (mine were not but still so lovely!)

You can make something similar yourself using a strand of Christmas lights and painted ping pong balls. After you’ve painted the ping pong balls and let them dry, poke a little hole in one end and slip it over the bulb of the Christmas light. The texture isn’t quite the same as what you have here, but it is completely customizable. Patterns anyone?

Oh, this was my favorite store in Montmartre!! They really know how to make you want to buy their product. So colorful and fun!

a newly opened gift shop in our local village had a small display of these in the window (NE Scotland!) and I wasn’t sure what they were! now I can see, although the impact of all the colours in the Paris shop is a bit more impressive!
