Passage du Desir

These are "Love Shops" which, are a very different concept altogether from a sex shop. Here you find witty and thoughtful playtime aids that only the French can come up with. If you wander in with your significant other, likely you won't find anything (too) embarrassing while you're browsing together. These shops are playful and fun and meant to heighten romance. In fact their tagline is "for the sustainability of couples." There are several of these shops in and around the center of Paris, but this one is the closest to Chatelet, though there is another one not too far from Les Halles, too.
