Bonjour! Seeking professional advice! I am coming to (rainy!) Paris on 4/3 to run the marathon on the 7th. We will be here for 9 days. Seeking info on a tableware/kitchenware shop that sounds very much like my beloved and now closed La Vaissellerie (on rue saint antoine) that I have visited a billion times. I have been hoping to find it re-opened but pretty sure thats its closed forever. In any event, if this rings a bell, would be very grateful for the name of the shop ! Thank you so much in advance!

My favourite Paris cheap-o souvenirs are found more in the grocery stores. Thanks for sharing such good information.

Looking for twisted handle jam spoons – sit on side of small jam dish on “hook” – saw them at A. Simon’s – can’t find a web site???? Any ideas?

I remember being there a long time ago. I couldn’t speak or understand any French at the time, hopefully I can come back one day with what I know now.

Just watched Julia and Julie again (second time, on DVD) and have to put in a vote for Meryl Streep to win the Oscar for that performance. God!! she was great! And an Oscar too, for the person who made her appear to be 6’3″ tall.

My favorite Paris cheap-o souvenirs are found more in the grocery stores. Last time I was there Ed had Belgian chocolates for one euro a box. I always get a big bag of herbes de Provence for €1.69 to bring home and interesting spices such as Coucous flavoring. At Monoprix I buy apperitif’s to share with my friends later.

La Vaissellerie – another tip. They have a “frequent shopper” card that you can get. Every time you make a purchase (I forget the amount), they punch the card. After a certain amount of visits, they extend you a discount.
