Well, just because it's a little contrived doesn't mean it's not fun. It's part of the Harry Potter part of the park but for my money, this is more Mary Poppins than Harry Potter.

I'm breaking my rule about staying away from chain stores because I think this is so fun. Calling themselves "Caramel Artisans" the folks at Papabubble pull carmel often designed to the specifications of customers, so if you have a big event coming up you might want to consider having them design I'm breaking my rule about staying away from chain stores because I think this is so fun.

While it may look more hi-tech pharmacy than candy store, we assure you, all you'll find in here are sweets. You do, however, get to put all your goodies in a pill jar and label the contents. And no, we don't think insurance will cover this.

They've been making candy and chocolate here since 1922 and, not surprisingly, are local legends. If you're in the mood for something a bit more substantial, they also have a an old-fashioned soda fountain where they serve food.

If you've ever wished you lived in a time in which people served multi-colored Thin Mints after dinner, this is your place. This is super, super old school candy--think caramel turtles and that kind of thing--as is the actual store itself.

Old-fashioned, yet modern, this sleek but charming candy store looks like a movie set. Luckily the selection here is as good as the aesthetic.

Now this is my idea of an incredible class trip: a visit to a candy museum! In addition to showcasing candy-making equipment, they also display all kinds of interesting tins and boxes from candies that are long gone.

This is so cute I want to eat the picture. They say they aimed for an old-fashioned feel and they certainly got it!

Could this be more adorable? The cartoony design of this place makes it look almost fake! This is definitely going on my "must-see" list!

Coco Le Vu just opened up earlier this year and already they're making a splash in the neighborhood. It's an adorable store and everything is so beautifully displayed you'll have a hard time leaving.

Usually I try to avoid chains of any kind but this is pretty fun. Their motto is "Suck it and see".

This incredible candy store won best original store in 2006 and you can see why. They have a fantastic mix of new candies and old English favorites, all displayed so adorably you may walk out with a few jars.

In case you didn't already know, this place was started by Ralph Lauren's daughter and is a huge hit with kids.

The woman who runs this place is as much a legend as the store itself. Tiny, with long silver braids she helps customers choose candy which is then placed on a silver tray until they're ready to pay. She's quite the character and coming here is always a funny experience!

Although they have boutiques and kiosks all over the city, don't miss seeing their storefront at this location. Whether you have a sweet tooth or not this is one of THE classic buildings in Paris and something everyone should see.

One of the all-time great stores of Paris. You can also buy their stuff in department stores around town if you can't get to this location.

farmers market off of La Rambla, good eats
