Tips by Locals

Accessibility

The shop's location within a 'traboule' passageway may present accessibility challenges for those with mobility issues. The passageway itself may have uneven surfaces or narrow sections. The shop owners are likely able to provide assistance, but it's advisable to inquire beforehand.

Kid friendly

While the shop may appeal to children interested in medieval history, it is primarily geared towards adults. The focus on costumes may be engaging for kids, but the shop is not specifically designed with children's amenities in mind. Stroller access may be limited due to the shop's location.
