Before we left, Isabella chose a map of Paris at Borders. It was a beautiful one with handdrawn icons and lots of sites to see. Once we got it home and really started looking at it, it became apparent that it wasn't just any old map. It was a shopping map.
So, when her grandparents came to town and mentioned BHV, we looked and found it was just around the corner from the apartment.
As stated earlier, I had a bad time with the map orientation, and walked us clear across town. Isabella discovered that it is just 2 blocks the opposite direction from the Pompidou.
And so, our love affair began. BHV has everything from hardware, as good as any Home Depot, to a full ine of all sorts of cosmetics and clothing brands. But, the best floor is the 2nd floor because it has art supplies and school supplies. There is paper by the piece, pastels, stencils, art projects and general crafting supplies. Oh but if I could transport all I wanted from that floor of the store.
Isabella located her much beloved Petit Bateau camisoles and I found a leather mailman bag which I may go back and get. For now, just content that this behemoth is around the corner and we can go visit anytime.
