Enjoy each other’s company before your bundle of joy arrives and spend your Paris babymoon at the luxurious five-star Le Royal Monceau, Raffles Paris.

Le Royal Monceau, Raffles Paris is in short chic, sophisticated and surprising. The hotel represents the next generation of Palace hotels in the heart of Paris. Within walking distance of the Arc de Triomphe, Champs Elysées, and beautiful Parc Monceau, it is now, as it has always been, one of the essential spots in which to experience the beauty, style, and social buzz of this truly extraordinary city.

3. HAVE PRENATAL CRAVINGS

Eat Macaroons. In particular, a stop at Ladurée at 16 Rue Royale is one not to be missed. Make sure to ask if the macaroons contain uncooked eggs, if so, they are not suitable for pregnant women!

4. SEE PARIS FROM THE TOP

The Musée National d’Art Moderne at the Centre Pompidou has a rooftop terrace and restaurant. On top of Centre Pompidou is Restaurant Café Georges where couples enjoy gorgeous views of Paris’ main landmarks. Access via the red-coloured lift on the left side of the museum entrance.

La Coqueta Spanish Children’s Designer Clothes

February 15, 2018

Here at BabyMoon® Travel, we love the Spanish baby and children’s brand La Coqueta. La Coqueta clothes are all proudly made in Spain.

LACOQUETAKIDS.COM

THE STORY OF LA COQUETA

La Coqueta, a leading designer fashion brand for babies and children aged 0 months to 10 years was founded in 2013 with the aim to promote and support Spanish design and craftsmanship. Every element of the collection is “Proudly made in Spain” from the choice of cloth to the design and finish of every piece. Every garment’s origin can be traced back to a Spanish family run business and the skills and methods used are centuries old. La Coqueta kids’ clothing and shoes are beautifully made, functional and hard-wearing. As a mother of five, Celia Munoz, Founder and Creative Director, knows how important it is to find easy-care clothes that stand the test of time, can be passed on to the next baby and still look great.
