Hardware store: http://www.bonjourparis.com/articles.php?articleId=476  //   Leroy Merlin has come to Paris. Leroy Merlin is a hardware chain store that used to be located exclusively outside of the city. Now, at last, Leroy Merlin has built a flagship store right in the middle of Paris, just opposite the Pompidou Museum, on the rue Rambuteau. Just look for the signs with "Passage de l'Horloge", the name of the neighborhood where the store was built.

Shop

Inno-Montparnasse   Situated just opposite to the train station Montparnasse. Rather a luxury version of Monoprix department store.   Very good both food and wine range, with even some non-French wines. You can also drink some wines by the glass and have a bite to eat.

Markets in paris

I agree with Janice about Rue Cler. A much more authentic market is the one at Pl Maubert. The one at Pl Monge is great also. I found Rue Cler to be mostly the shops there putting their wares outside. The other markets mentioned had the acutal producers. Try also the recently reopened Enfants Rouge Market which is actually the oldest continuous market in France. It is at the moment in my book the most authentic market in Paris...full of locals as most guide books do not even mention it

Fairfax, Ca USA Thu 05/27/2004

went looking for nice souvenirs and found a wonderful street for shopping on the Ile St. Louis on Rue St. Louis en l'Ile (can't miss it -- goes right up the center of the island). Upscale but affordable boutiques, things you won't find in standard sovenir shops. A delightful shop called Pylones (there are several in Paris) selling fanciful gifts, very similar to Occtopus in London. There was also a toy store that had the best postcards -- very creative!

********************************

The oldest tree in Paris

 is propped up by a slab of concrete and stands in the center of the Square Vivani in front of Eglise Saint Julien le Pauvre in the 5th arrondissement. Dating back to 1602, the "Robinia pseudacacia" was brought from Virginia to Europe and planted there by herbalist to King Henri IV and director of the nearby Jardin des Plantes, Jean Robin.

but see http://www.paris.org/Kiosque/may99/414oldie.html

 

By pure chance, the other, really oldest, tree is also a 'robinier' and it is in the botanical garden inside the Jardin des Plantes; planted possibly in 1636 between what are now the mineralogical and botanical galleries. This is news to me and I haven't seen it - because of looking for another oldest tree in these gardens - a very healthy-looking and huge cedar.

At age 265, this cedar is not the 'oldest' tree in the Jardin des Plantes.

This was planted quite recently, in 1734. Its story is that it was planted by Bernard de Jussieu,
