A store which is more a way of life than a selling place…
Founded by Irène and Thomas Cohen (a member of the genius retailing family behind Bonpoint ), Bonton has 5 stores in Paris , all a bit different, but above all it is a chic, haute bohemian children's clothing and furniture boutiques.  
Bonton means " the good color" 
in French and you can read their history to understand why ;) they collection has several lines : baby, junior girls and boys, T-shirt, pants/skirts through blouses and shoes - the whole children closet is revisited in many colors! and that's not all, they have also a home linen collection, and small furniture - do I have to say more? A must visit place in Paris
