Aujourd'hui, j'ai trouvé ce magasin dans le chat gpt. Je cherchais des encens pour moi-même, car je…read morene suis pas française. Mon petit ami et moi sommes allés dans ce magasin, mais comme nous habitons dans le centre, le trajet était assez long. Nous avons pris un taxi pour nous rendre à cet endroit précis. Nous avons attendu le vendeur, car il était parti en laissant un mot disant qu'il reviendrait, mais il ne nous a pas laissés entrer. Je portais uneJ'ai appelé la fourrure et il nous a dit qu'il fallait lire qu'il fallait absolument entrer dans quelque chose de clair et de brillant. Mon copain était habillé tout en noir. Je voulais entrer moi-même dans le magasin, mais le vendeur ne m'a pas laissée entrer. Je n'avais jamais vu un tel service. Il n'a même pas osé ouvrir la porte. Je suis une touriste, je ne connais pas le français, j'étais habillée selon le code vestimentaire, mais je vois cela pour la première fois.Je ne recommande ce magasin à personne, on ne vous respecte pas en tant que personne dans ce magasin, il vaut mieux chercher d'autres magasins, mais c'était le plus proche, je regrette d'avoir dépensé de l'argent et perdu du temps pour ne pas avoir pu entrer, je voulais acheter un cadeau pour moi et ma famille, mais on m'en a empêchée.

But santons are very much a tradition of the South of France. In fact, there is only one shop in Paris that sells santons: Georges Thuillier. This little store specializes in religious trinkets: santons, jewelry, medals of the saints, etc. It is located just on the square at Saint Suplice. It is definitely worth visiting if you are shopping for a religious item to bring home as a gift--any traveler (or surfer) might appreciate a Saint Christopher's medal--and if you collect santons, as I do (specifically in the puce, or flea, size) you absolutely must come here to buy charming little figures for your own holiday traditions! (Don't forget to make the little magi travel across your mantle piece through each of the 12 days of Christmas to arrive on Epiphany)

I'd never been in the basement to look at the bandes dessinees/comic books and sci fi. Holy %^&^&*! They had a bunch of my favorite French language comic book authors (available used!), and of course recommendations, which is super helpful as there are a LOT of French BD's available. The book-length graphic novels of the lives of Josephine Baker, Olympe de Gouges, etc. looked really interesting (I bought one about Kiki de Montparnasse). Tributes to Goscinny for an Asterix anniversary. A BD about Goscinny himself. Historical BDs (and sure, Gaston Lagaffe, etc.). Inches of Claire Bretecher. I had never seen so many Gotlib albums in one place before (had bought used at other stores in France), and they had a lot of really fascinating-looking stuff, which I was afraid to buy too much of as paper is heavy. If you like French language BDs definitely check this place out.
