There is only one quilting store in Paris, close to Metro Saint-Michel , Called Le Rouvray, they are very expensive and the fabric is imported from the U.S.A.. Check the address on Yahoo.(Map to get there included. At the hotel, ask the room service maid if she knows a Mercerie (French name for a fabric and sewing equipment store).If they don't understand the word quilt use patchwork. Fabric is sold by the meter (39,3 in') . If you know how much you want to buy in yards use the same number, don't bother to convert. In Paris, store clerks may be very snobbish, ask to be shown what you want (Montrez-moi s'il-vous-plait.) If this fail , go Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen , metro Porte de Clignancourt, open Sat-Mon from 7 a.m. to 7.30 at night. This is a huge flea market where everything is sold and you can haggle, Still no luck, just enjoy your new experience, Tired, you want a coffee ask for a café au lait otherwise you 'll get an expresso demitasse . LOL I've been in Paris a few times, keep your eyes opened , enjoy every minute of your trip, don"t try to pack to many activities, there is a discovery at every street corner!
