Best toy shop near Nice and Cannes

I still remember the excitement of going to toy shops in London when I was little, but since I’ve had a daughter I’ve been a bit disappointed with the selection of doll accessories and doll clothes in many of the popular London toy shops. We need more tiny outfits and cool high chairs and doll beds to choose from!

In fact, we need a packed rack of Corolle doll clothes like they have in La Grande Récré near Nice Airport. I loved coming to La Grande Récré, opposite the Cap 3000 shopping centre, where there is a much bigger selection of Corolle dolls and accessories than I’ve seen in any of the London toy shops.

La Grande Récré also had a wide variety of garden and beach toys, including a few garden play houses and several slides.

Baby Girl liked this shop so much that I had to carry her out while she was screaming ‘my, my, my’ and pointing at the massive shopping bag we’d managed to buy to carry all our new toys.

Great day out!

There’s also a La Grande Récré near Cannes-Mandelieu Airport and one in Nice, and the one I was in near Nice Airport was a good size – much bigger than the small toy shops we’ve visited in surrounding towns – and there were many customer parking spaces outside the shop. If you don’t have time to drive to a toy shop, King Kong in the centre of Juan-les-Pins has a good selection of toys despite being small. Doll prams are hanging from the ceiling!
