If you are visiting Paris with children, I think this must be at the top of your list, not only for tours but instruction and the shop offers some magical items as well.
My mother-in-law Mutti used to take my son there when he was younger. A fascinating place, I hear, perfect for 'les petits magiciens en herbe..." Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
What child doesn't like magic! I remember my mom's brother used to do magic tricks for us when we were kids. We were mesmerized by him and tired to do the magic tricks he showed us. FUN! :)
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

It must be a place to visit.
Not for the children but for adults.
It looks like our politicians are visiting the place often.

The french version of Harry Potter's school! :o)
That Paris Rouge is unmistakable. Nice to catch up on your photos V. I have been away on holidays to Byron Bay.

What fun this place must be! I'll bet i could get my hands on a magic wand here! And the red is strikingly gorgeous!
I'm right there with you today. I know exactly where this place is. Always enjoy your Paris Rouge photos.
I've never been to a magic shop. Like a great many things, I imagine a Parisian one to be extra-special! Your photograph certainly is, dear V.
The kids would definitely love this shop. Who doesn't like magic? I think everyone does.
