The French really know how to do children’s clothes. The cuts, the fabrics, the craftsmanship: it’s all incredible. But pretty quick ly you will realize, as darling as your little girl might look in that Bonpoint coat, there’s no way that you can afford to pay that much and still have cash left over for groceries. So where do you shop for decent quality children’s clothes at a reasonable price? Parents in the know suggest the following:

C&A: This large department store reminds me of J.C. Penney’s. Rock-bottom prices but not much selection or style. Still you can get lucky, especially if you are in the market for basics like t-shirts, leggings, and pajamas. Multiple locations in Paris and the suburbs.
Du Pareil au Meme: Fun fabrics, European styling, and great prices make this French chain a winner. They even carry shoes. There are dozens of locations in Ile de France so there’s probably one near you. A few of the stores are for babies only; most offer cute clothes for boys and girls up to age 12 or 14.
