Hallmark+'s 'Paris is Always a Good Idea' Cast Shares Beloved Souvenirs from Paris Filming

The cast of Hallmark+'s new limited series "Paris is Always a Good Idea" is bringing more than memories home from France. Stars Lacey Chabert and Scott Michael Foster both picked up high-end hair brushes from the same Parisian shop, according to Fox 17.
The show follows nonprofit executive Chelsea as she travels across Europe to secure a major donor while reconnecting with her past. The series has drawn praise for its warm cast chemistry and the authentic Parisian backdrop it brought to life on screen, WACH reported.
Lacey Chabert and Scott Michael Foster ended up buying the same souvenir — high-end hair brushes from a shop in Paris. The matching purchase became a small but telling sign of how close the cast grew during filming. Chabert also brought home something more personal: art from a painter she has followed since she was 14 years old, according to Fox San Antonio.
That kind of personal connection to Paris clearly ran deep for Chabert. Buying from the same artist over decades shows how much the city means to her — not just as a filming location, but as a place she returns to with real affection.
Henry Czerny, who plays a key role in the series, said his favorite souvenir was a painting by a student artist — a portrait of a woman. It was a more understated pick compared to some of his co-stars, but one that clearly meant something to him personally, KTUL reported.
Czerny's choice fits the tone of the show itself — quiet, meaningful, and rooted in real human connection. The series leans heavily on character depth, and its cast seems to have taken that spirit with them off-screen as well.
Rebecca Hanssen, who plays Chabert's sister in the series, shared her love for French fashion as her top Paris takeaway. France has long been the global center of high fashion, and Hanssen made the most of her time there, according to WGME.
Her picks reflect a broader theme among the cast — each actor found something personal and specific to bring home. No generic snow globes here. From fine art to designer goods, the "Paris is Always a Good Idea" cast treated the city like the locals do.
"Paris is Always a Good Idea" is a Hallmark+ limited series, a step up in format from the network's usual standalone films. The show has been praised for building natural chemistry among its cast quickly — a key ingredient for a story centered on family and reconnection, Fox 17 noted.
The Paris setting gives the show a built-in sense of romance and discovery. With a cast that clearly enjoyed their time filming abroad, that energy seems to have made it onto the screen. The series is now streaming on Hallmark+.
