Glad to help,
In the Jeux Descartes shop I visited - the one in the Ecoles area - you'll have to go downstairs to see the boardgames area. So make sure you don't run away scared because "upstairs" is all full of collectible card games etc.
More on the girls games, my girl and her friends love to play (with me):
-Settlers of Catan -

-Puerto Rico -

-Gloom -
http://boardgamegeek.com/game/12692
-Fury of Dracula
Unfortunately these all work better or actually NEED more than 2 players. According to my co-workers this should do well for a 2 players game:
Race for the Galaxy -

Boardgaming is always better with more players
