Bebe Charmant
By the end the 1870's many French dollmakers were selling child dolls which have been known as bebes ever since, to distinguish them from German child dolls. The "Bebe Charmant" dates from 1892-1895, made by "Societe Pintel et Godchaux" in their Montreuil factory outside Paris. She was exhibited at the 1893 Chicago Exposition.
In 1899, Pintel & Godchaux joined the SFBJ as shareholders.
Bebe Charmant meaning "Charming Baby"while being a well known French Doll was never produced as a Bleuette. She is charming, however, and makes a wonderful Bleuette friend.
