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.

Great photos of this shop! I smile whenever I visit shops which sell these lights because when I moved to Paris five years ago, the owner of La Case de Cousin Paul had only just opened and it was a teeny weeny (we’re talking maybe 10m2) shop in Montmartre. I remember chatting to him about his concept (imported from Thailand where he lived for while) and thinking how great it was. Since, I can’t even tell you how many of his guirlandes I’ve bought (they make excellent gifts). I had no idea that the owner opened other shops in France. What a success story… going from less than 10m2 shop just five years ago to what he has today!
