The fabric is expensive but I really wanted some with Eiffel tower on it , and I did find some. The store I went to were near Sacre Coeur Basilica on the street in front of the carousel in Montmartre ...I took a walk going left....think it was East and there thy were , a couple fabric shops...one was called TISSUS REINE if I`m not mistaken....and yes I do speak French....lol hope this helps....hope you have a wonderful trip....the highlight of my trip was walking up the Eiffel tower....

Also web site said fabric runs about 18 euros/$23 per meter, so I won't be buying much! My DH has actually set aside some time for us to go to this shop, (instead of another museum or cathedral )
Thanks for any input!
