I've mentioned that I'm planning a 2013 trip to Paris (and London) with a friend. She is very interested in sewing and quite talented. I, on the other hand, know nothing about it. I am doing most of the planning for the trip as this is a pleasure for me and she isn't really interested in computers. Is there a place I should add to our trip where she could look at fabric, etc. she may want to bring home from Paris? Just wondering. I have no idea.

Thanks!

I'm also sure Kerouac can point you towards better places in the Goutte d'Or

Marché St. Pierre near Sacre Coeur is great. It's at 2 Rue Charles Nodier, and has 5 or 6 floors of fabric. If she interested in cotton quilting fabric, head to Le Rouvray at 3 Rue de la Bûcherie in the 5th--she carries a line of fabric that is made in France and is difficult to get outside of the country. Also some nice typical prints from Provence.

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
