Pylones

Except for the clerk who grabbed me and said «No pictures» — who knew? — we loved this store. There is so much to look at and so many appealing, fun and funky items that you could spend a lot of time here. We were in the shopping center under the Louvre to find the Apple Store and stumbled onto Pylones. We ended up buying gifts because it was hard to resist. Prices are high.

The massive color array is like a Disney store. Fun stuff, had to buy the ‘lady’ grater whose skirt is a grater and some fun pens and Eiffel Tower scissors. It’s fun to browse. Creativity gone mad. Quirky stuff and brought a smile to my face. Reasonable prices.

I don’t really understand this store. Nothing here is really that practical, but it’s amazing. I picked up some 8-​bit Space Invaders stickers and mustache erasers. I could blow through many bills on the quirky writing utensils alone.
I guess the best way I can describe Pylones is that they sell ordinary items with one-​of-​a-​kind designs. Like an iPhone case shaped like an actual phone handle. You know, the kind on pay phones… if you’ve seen one lately. It’s like a class of third graders designed their own arts & crafts store, and it totally works. This is definitely an overlooked store for souvenirs.

we have to pop in here whenever we’re in paris, though we usually don’t buy anything. this is one of the most fun, quirky and uniquly appointed stores i’ve ever seen. and it’s in a great neighborhood.

Situé dans le caroussel du Louvre, je pensais au départ, que ce magasin né vendait que des jouets ou du moins des objets destinés aux enfants.
Et pas forcément! Ce magasin est idéal pour trouver un cadeau original. S’il n’est pas forcément indispensable, il sera au moins décoratif!
On y trouve entre autre des décorations très sympas, et toutes sortes de gadgets hauts en couleurs (champignon mini-​aspirateur de peluches ou cendres, porte lunette en forme de chouette, chaufferette, de la marque «Place de la Bastille).
Leurs produits sont abordables mais né sont pas donnés pour autant.

full of witty, wacky, useful and useless stuff you just gotta have. my bright bro thought so too. walked in one day, asked to speak to owners, now owns 3 int’l stores — kaching.

Enchanting, whimsical, hypnotic world of wonder colorful everyday items to perk up your existence, and worth every Euro for their wit.
I couldn’t resist the princess and a frog combo hairbrush and mirror that folds up and nestles into my purse, and we had to have a froggy luggage tag for a lttle pal back home. Take a break from serious art while in the Louvre, and enter the whimsical world of Pylones.
Prices a bit steep for what they are, but irresistably charming!

Pylones! Where have you been all my life?!
Alright, I guess I don’t like it thaat much, but this place is gah-​roovy! This is a chain gadget-​trinket shop in France, and (as you can see by the photo) they sell some rad shit-ya-don’t-need. Pyer-​fect for getting that friend of yours back home a gift from the Louvre.
«And for you, I found this dog-​shaped pen, and these colorful placemats, and a rubber flower pot!»
«Oh… I see…»
«They’re from the Carrousel, under the Louvre Museum.»
«Ah! They’re fantabulous!»
There is nothing, I repeat no-​THING, that can stop you from entering this store once you see the display in front (again, see photo). And yes, be prepared to pay a pretty European cent for your doodad that you could just as soon find at any random gift shop sprinkled elsewhere in the city (or any city anywhere, for that matter). But the displays here are… yeah. They’re !!! They’re solidified fun-​ness.
