Quilt shops in France are very few and far between and also very expensive. Count on paying between 18-26 Euros/metre for fabric, currently $24 - $34 a metre. Other "quilty" items are proportionately as expensive.

A few good ones in Paris, and there are others in the Bouche de Rhone or Mediterranean coastal cities - not much good for a Paris visit!
However here a few links to some in and very close to Paris.

I live in the south west so don't know the stores, but got the details from the website of French Quilting Guild.

Also general fabric stores often have a patchwork dedicated counter, such as this one just by La Rochelle

Could be worth a visit, and they speak English too.

Here are some other fabric stores in La Rochelle

Enjoy your trip!
