About
Maison Chaton is a charming concept shop in the 9th arrondissement that combines creative toy retail with hands-on workshop programming under one roof. The full name signals the breadth of what's on offer: creative games and toys, creative workshops, private events, and corporate team activities. For visiting families, the most relevant offering is the combination of an imaginative toy and games selection with the possibility of dropping into a creative atelier session.
The shop stocks a well-curated range of craft kits, creative games, construction toys, and art supplies with a bias toward quality and imagination over licensed characters or screen tie-ins. The 9th arrondissement setting — near Rue des Martyrs and the lively Pigalle-to-South-Pigalle stretch — puts this in one of Paris's most characterful neighborhoods. The shop earns a near-perfect 4.
9-star rating from 78 reviews, which is remarkably strong and reflects the quality of both the product selection and the in-store experience. The limited opening hours — Wednesday and Saturday full days, Thursday and Friday afternoons — mean this requires planning around. For families with a Wednesday free day (aligned with French school schedules), this is a wonderful neighborhood stop combined with lunch on Rue des Martyrs.
A rainy Paris afternoon doesn't get much better than a creative workshop session here.
