The name of the store and the street it's on both translate to the "wooden sword", and you find those here along with any number of wooden toys for children ages 1 to 10. They also have books and games.

La Fontaine aux Vins
One of several wine shops along the lower part of the street. The wines are of high quality, but barely more pricey than the ones you'll find in the grocery store. They offer tastings outside on the street, and delivery if you buy a case. Prices start at around €4 per bottle which is around what you'll pay for a glass in a bar.

Gepetto & Vélos
OK, so if you are just staying for a day or two it makes no sense whatever to buy a bike, but if you are going to be around for a while having your own might just feel better than renting one from the RATP. If so, you could do a lot worse than Gepetto, where you'll find a range of real bikes rather than the usual cheap MTB you'd see at a sporting goods store. Prices start at around €100 for a sturdy used, 3-speed city bike.
