Same in France, around equivalent of US $34 a metre - and it is not only the price, quilt shops are very few and far between. My nearest (and only) is a 70kms trip each way.
Some online but prices only very marginally less.
Very small choice and I have never seen a "range", only isolated prints from a range. Solids and tonals are about $19.
Even with shipping it is much more economical to buy from the US. Fabric is cheaper in UK than here but most of them now charge more for shipping to France than the US retailers.
I buy threads/notions from the UK, and rely on friends travelling from the UK by car to bring wadding back for me.
If it meant having to buy here, I could not afford to continue with quilting.
