About

Tikibou is a well-regarded children's toy and activity shop near the Montparnasse area in the 14th arrondissement on Boulevard Edgar Quinet. The shop offers a broad selection of toys, games, creative kits, and children's activities, with a practical, family-oriented approach to curation that balances imaginative play with educational value. The range covers toddlers through tweens, making it useful for families with multiple children of different ages who need to find something for everyone in one stop.

The Montparnasse location makes Tikibou convenient for families staying in the 14th or visiting the area for its concentration of cafes, the Montparnasse cemetery, the Jardin du Luxembourg (a short walk), or the Catacombs. Boulevard Edgar Quinet itself has a pleasant open-air market on Wednesdays and Saturdays, so the visit can be combined with a browse through the market. With 145 reviews and a 4.

7-star rating, Tikibou has earned a loyal local following and delivers consistently across the range of children's ages it serves. For visitors to Paris, it's a solid option when you need a practical toy purchase, a birthday gift for a child back home, or simply an afternoon shopping destination that goes beyond the souvenir shops. Open Tuesday through Saturday, with no Sunday or Monday hours.

Pro Tips from Parents

  • The Catacombs are just a few minutes' walk — combine a Tikibou stop with a (carefully age-considered) Catacombs visit for older kids.
  • Ask staff about any current promotions or end-of-line items for better value purchases.

What to Bring

  • A child's age and toy preferences to help staff give useful guidance
  • A tote bag or shopping bag
