FLGS in Paris?

[Bibliophile]

So, I find myself in Paris, but without knowledge of any FLGS. Anyone know any out here?

I found myself in Paris for 10 days last September while I toured Europe and couldn't find any myself. I did find a nuts little comic shop, but it was on accident and I cannot remember where it was exactly. I want to say it was on the Goncourt station of the Metro System (Line 11). But that was quite sometime ago and I never wrote down exactly where it was in my travel journal.

Frankly, Paris is not the best of place to buy gaming books! Forget about game stores near the Louvre or Opera too. In Paris there must be a total of 6 or 7 game stores (that sell rpg books in English). I give you the adress of three I remember off the top of my head:

JEUX DESCARTES (SAINT MICHEL):
52 rue (street) des Ecoles - 75005 Paris
Subway / undergroud station: Odéon or Cluny-Sorbonne.
Open: Monday to Saturday from 11 AM to 7 PM.
This is the shop to go IMO; also remember that the rpg products are in the basement. Don't think they speak English.

JEUX DESCARTES (WAGRAM):
6 rue (street) Meissonier - 75017 Paris
Subway / undergroud station: Wagram.
Open: Monday to Saturday from 11 AM to 7 PM.
They probably have less RPG books than the one above, but don't remember for sure. Don't think they speak English.

FIREBALL:
3 rue (street) Monsieur Le Prince - 75006 Paris
Subway / undergroud station: Odéon or Cluny-Sorbonne.
Open: Monday to Friday from 11 AM to 8 PM; Saturday from 11 AM to 10 PM; Sunday from 3 PM to 7 PM.
Not a huge choice of books however. Don't think they speak English. Some monday night (from 8 to 12 PM), you may find American D&D gamers in the basement!

The Jeux Descartes on Boulevard Pasteur just near Pasteur metro (underground/subway) station has a pretty good RPG section at the back with both English and French books.

There used to be a store called L'Oeuf Cube which had a decent RPG section but when I was there last it seemed to be leaning towards CCGs.

Neither of these is very close to any tourist spots but both are easy to get to on the metro system.

To find them or any of the other of the stores in France mentioned in this thread, try http://www.pagesjaunes.fr/pj.cgi?lang=en. This is the English-language version of the online Paris Yellow Pages. Not only does it give addresses and phone numbers, it also provides maps and photographs. You can use the maps and photographs to create a virtual walk from the nearest metro station to the store. A few years ago, I used it to locate my hotel. I had never been to this hotel before but knew exactly where I was going.

Thanks Turanil! I'll try to check those out.
