I have to say my one ongoing disappointment in Paris is there is no music, even recorded music,…read moreplaying in Cafes...this one shop reminded me how much zero sound leaves less of an impression...his shop was full of Jazz CDS + Vinyl and played in shop...felt like Parisian Europe. He of course was a musician. Buy your CDS here and share the lasting sound of Paris Jazz.

The CD lives!…read more Record stores with this much charm are rare. This shop is a heaven for music lovers and throwback officianados. Walls and walls of CDs and records surround you in visual organized cacophonic bliss. Also has a lovely book collection with a sweet owner who sits peacefully at the front if the shop to greet you and is not a pushy salesperson at all. Enjoy! It's a rare piece of charm and history.

I have just faced a real mafia practice. I bought a Lenovo…read moremonitor and a magic keyboard this weekend. Today, I return these two devices, and there surprise: - the reimbursement will not be made by card (I paid by card) but by voucher. - a 20% discount will be applied because the top of the cardboard containing the monitor is torn. I repeat: 20 PERCENT and not 20 EUROS. So having bought the item at 100 euros, they withdraw 20 euros. If you bought an item for 1000 euros, they withdraw 200 euros for a torn box! After very tense discussions, they agree to reimburse me by card but maintaining the discount. This is what the manager told me: "We are going to make AN EFFORT, we will reimburse you by card but the discount is maintained". The manager therefore hoped that, by reciprocity, I would accept the discount. He is a pro and to say that he makes "AN EFFORT" is no accident. In short. So I refused their offer and made them understand that only the police would get me out. On the spot, the police make me understand that they can do nothing for me. It is not their role. They advise me to contact the head office or consumer associations. It's incredible ! In a country like France, consumers have no protection against these mafia. These companies that make their own laws. FNAC, I assure you that if you don't pay back all of my money, you risk paying dearly. If you're willing to take that risk for $ 20, then let's go. In addition, I refused your offer on principle. My losses are limited but yours ... I have a lot of time at the moment so I will take special care of you. Small hint: I am a computer scientist and I know the net well. HELLO.

It's a bookstore. It's a souvenir store…read more It's an agenda store. Really now - it's about everything! Gibert Joseph is a chain of stores that cater to those seeking books, souvenirs, and agendas. I mean, yes, they have other things, but these are the mains. We stepped in there because it was on the way. My companion was lacking souvenirs, and well, he thought I might find a worthwhile agenda in there. Turns out they had pretty bland-looking agendas and I wound up getting one back in the states. Still, their book selection floored me. They had floors upon floors on books and they had unique souvenirs. I only wish I had discovered this store sooner. I'd probably have bought some stuff there!
