The staff is friendly and helpful incase you have any questions and the prices are totally fair in my opinion. I absolutely love their activated charcoal toothpaste (3.45 euro) Its the best toothpaste I have ever used. They also have neem in several formats, dry leaves, powder and oil. The incense selection is quite big with the same scents from a few manufacturers. They have copper mugs and travel bottles. The store itself is not so huge but its definitely packed with a large variety. I will absolutely be back here and I totally urge you to check it out and have a look, don't be afraid to try something new!

A real spice wonderworld, Velan is my go-to shop which I'm craving anything with a kick…read more My mom and I recently went there with a full list of ingredients to buy for a Green Thai Curry Shrimp dish she wanted to make, and they had everything (except the shrimp) and despite our big purchases the total bill came to just over 10E. Shopping at Velan is always an educational experience as well. There are so many amazing foods to discover, and often finding the ingredients in French can be a challenge if you're used to the name in English. For example, we had to ask three different people where the dried Kaffir lime leaf was (it's feuilles de kokumba in French) since we had no idea what it was called. It was actually another shopper that steered us in the right direction.

Now that she was happy we further browsed the store and I heard a piano playing in the distance and walked toward the sounds. A man (I think was a customer) was playing the classic black piano while other patrons were sitting at small tables listening. Near the piano lounge, there was a full service bakery where we purchased several fresh pastries, which we immediately ate. This type of department store you just dont find in America. The only negative was there were no bathrooms on the property. The security guard advised the bathroom was in the McDonalds restaurant next door - this seemed very odd.

Marks & Spencer Food has been one of my go-to supermarkets while in Paris, while it is considerably…read moremore expensive than what I'm used to in the UK, they offer British products and an extensive gluten-free selection and the best milk I've found in the whole of Paris, it just tastes like what I'm used to back home. They only sell the 2-pint organic version here in multiple varieties including semi-skimmed which is similar to 2% milk in the US (It's actually 1.8%!) and full fat. The location is Rue de la Chaussée, there are many other stores nearby. I would say there was slightly more room between aisles and fridges at this store which made the shopping experience that little bit easier. The staff seemed friendly enough too, but there didn't seem to be any staff on the shop floor which was a little frustrating but I did eventually manage to find what I needed. They did bag my items in a very small bag. Is it value for money? No. Some of the items are extortionate, but I've also found that to be common with many things in France, I've noticed that only Apple products seem cheaper over here and not by much. It's a shame they didn't have any fresh gluten-free sandwiches either, but still, a really good store providing a taste of the UK and a taste of home comforts to tourists like me. 4*

Perfect little food market to pick up a bottle of wine and a couple bits and bobs. This is not a…read moretraditional, large supermarket, but it has all the necessities for pretty much anything: a nice meal, a fancy dinner party, etc. The market has all the basics (fruit and veg, pasta) plus lots of gourmet options that would be at home at a nice dinner party (fine chocolates). If you have access to a microwave, lots of nice takeaway options for dinner. The gourmet things were packaged so nicely, we actually brought them back as gifts for friends.

Came here in desperation for some instant korean ramyun before our movie because days of bread and…read moreduck and pasta can get you feeling a little queasy. (If you're anything like me). Delighted to find so many varieties of not only ramyun, but tons of other korean foods packed into this tiny little mart. If I had a kitchen I would have bought more snacks and goods. I was hoping they would have kimchi in a bag too and they did! And plenty of them! And kimchi in a can too! Cooked, fresh, fermented to the max! Perfect! It does smell like crazy though just in case you take it to your hotel. Even when we put the kimchi in a ziplock bag and inside of our mini fridge, it was still very smelly. I survived off of this ramyun for two days, ate it once for dinner and once for breakfast. The kimchi was sooooooo good. Highly recommend getting it with the instant noodles. You can ask for chopsticks as well at the front. You have to pay for bags so bring your own if you don't want to fork out a few cents. Stop by here on your way to the theater! About a 5 minute walk from the main street where all the shops and theater is!
